Solution:- Protect-AS Communal Entrances and modified un-equal Protect-SO double doorsets designed to aid and assist the removal of wheely bins by refuse collectors and eliminate potential collision damage.

 

 

Project:- North East Sheltered Housing Scheme for National Housing Company.The scope of works required the installation of 2no automatic opening doorsets to a Communal Lounge Building. The outer door called for the mild steel Protect-AP Doorset as the lounge is used 24/7 and the client required high security to protect the assets within the building. The  internal doorset was similarly upgraded with a gloss painted timber doorset. Both doors were equipped with automatic opening function via fob and large DDA compliant Press to Exit buttons for ease of wheelchair entry and egress.

 

This project called for the removal of the existing Main Entrance doorset and incorporation of an automatic opening doorset for wheelchair and electric chair usage into the existing frontage. The door design and dimensions were also amended to meet current DDA guidelines.

Solution:- Protect-AP Doorset designed to colour match upvc windows and structural steel framing complete with automatic opening facility with integral safety sensor

We are fully committed in all instances to work with Architects, Designers and End Clients to ensure that not only is the product, a truly “fit for purpose” and appropriate security solution but is also aesthetically pleasing and “user friendly” to further enhance the day to day lives of the end users. As Communal Entrances to multi occupancy dwellings are the first visual sign of the community spirit within, plus indicate the character of the building and surrounding area, it is a very important feature to be considered by Architects and Specifiers alike.

It is critical therefore that not only aesthetically pleasing Entrances are considered but they should also be robust to withstand the high expected usage, probable misuse (unintentional or otherwise), eliminate potential vandalism opportunities, and still maintain a clean appearance during its lifetime – degradation of this focal area can lead to break down of the general feeling originally intended.

NEOS Protect Ltd offer the ultimate combination of security and strength with a very pleasing appearance and practicality in use.

Project:- New Housing Development by major Housing Group. A modern look was required to compliment the overall Estate appearance and to give pride of ownership to the new Tenants. Solutin:- Protect-AS 2XG Door Design with 12mm laminated security glazing.   

 

Our years of experience within the Physical Security Sector are clearly visible on the Protect-AS Range of Doorsets, where numerous unique features are fitted as standard to combat previously encountered anti-social behaviour – a definitive market leading product.

We are confident that no other similar Company can provide a comparable product which also includes this extended range of practical benefits, which ensure total client and user satisfaction.

For added peace of mind we assure all Clients that Survey and Installation are carried out by our own experienced personnel on all occasions.

 

 ETHOS

NEOS Protect Ltd embrace the core philosophy of “Construction Excellence” Namely:-

•  To be part of an integrated team, which includes the End Client, to agree product design and close working relationships maintained throughout.
• To work closely with Allied Trades to ensure total overall job satisfaction and enhanced joint performances
• Aware that contracts should lead to mutual benefit for all parties and be based upon targets and whole of life cost approach
• Acknowledge that suppliers should be selected by Best Value and not lowest price – NEOS can buy products at lower prices but would our Client’s be happy at this subsequent reduction in performance levels?
• Apply performance measurements (KPI’s) to underpin continuous improvement
