New 30-Minute
Fire Door to
Composite Ranges
Spectus Elite frames
used to create showpiece
character home
Crewe-based Spectus
installer, South Cheshire
Glass, has completed the
first phase to transform a
substantial residential prop-
erty in Nantwich, Cheshire.
Graham Saunders, General
Manager at South Cheshire
Glass, said: “With a palatial
property like this one we
needed to source a premi-
um quality product. The
Spectus Windows Elite 70
suite of products gives us
exactly what we need for
such a high-end project.”
The project involves
several window styles,
showcasing the versatili-
ty of the Spectus Elite 70
product range. The first
phase included 13 casement
windows with one arched
frame, all in a white finish
with mock sash horns. The
South Cheshire Glass team
is taking a phased approach
to the replacement pro-
ject, completing separate
elevations at each visit over
a period of months. Work
started in November 2018
and is scheduled for com-
pletion in Spring 2019.
Graham commented:
“The Spectus Elite 70
frames will transform the
home’s visual appeal. It
will also make the property
more thermally efficient,
quiet and secure.”

Apeer has released its new bi-
laterally tested Isolate3 fire
door, combining independently
tested FD30 certification with
all the quality, versatility and
specification that customers
have come to expect from
the manufacturer’s popular
Traditional, Contemporary and
Modo composite door ranges.
Isolate3 orders are al-
ready being taken for
early 2019 delivery with the
range now fully integrated
into Apeer’s Door Builder
online resource, enabling in-
staller customers to include
the FD30 standard product
as part of their own door
offering.
As well as providing the
benefit of an FD30 spec
range to its existing custom-
ers, Apeer is also promoting
Isolate3 within the new-
build and retrofit commer-
cial sectors where quality,
certified products that meet
the sectors’ rigorous fire
safety requirements are
called for.
The addition of Isolate3 is
the second investment Ap-
eer have recently made to
further improve their door
offering. Earlier this year,
the company installed a
second high-tech paint line
at its County Antrim pro-
duction unit to stay ahead
of demand for its acclaimed
composite door ranges. The
line also increases efficiency
by enabling different inte-
rior and exterior colours to
be applied in half the time.
