Guinness Trust Buildings – Hammersmith

The Guinness Trust Buildings in Hammersmith are a historic residential development that was originally built in the late 19th century. The buildings feature distinctive red brick facades and ornate detailing, reflecting the architectural styles of the Victorian era.

In recent years, the buildings underwent a major refurbishment, which involved upgrading the fire safety measures to ensure compliance with current building regulations. Grady Joinery was brought in to provide fire doorsets for the project, which involved supplying and installing over 1000 fire doorsets across the development.

The fire doorsets supplied by Grady Joinery were from the Golden Thread range and were chosen for their high-quality construction, fire resistance, and aesthetic appeal. The fire doorsets were tailored to suit the specific requirements of the development, with a variety of finishes and configurations used to complement the building’s original features.

Grady Joinery’s installation team worked closely with the project team to ensure that the fire doorsets were installed correctly and on schedule. The team carried out a thorough site survey and preparation process, ensuring that the doorsets were specified correctly and that the frames were properly aligned and secured.

The installation process itself involved fitting the frames and hinges, attaching the door leaf to the frame, and fitting the lock and handle. Fire-stopping materials were installed around the frame and in any gaps or openings to ensure that the doorsets provided adequate fire protection. The doorsets were finished with any required hardware, such as signage or vision panels.

Thanks to the high-quality fire doorsets supplied by Grady Joinery, the Guinness Trust Buildings in Hammersmith now provide effective fire protection for their residents while maintaining their historic character and charm.
