CROFTON INTERIOR SERVICES

Crofton Interiors works with a wide range of designers and contractors within the commercial and residential sectors providing high-quality products as follows:

1

VALUATION, CONSULTATION & DESIGN

After receiving invitation to Tender and subsequent acceptance, Crofton Interiors will appoint a Design, Project and Contracts Manager. The Design team will be the first to liaise with the client to ensure we have all the required specifications for the CAD drawings and obtain samples for all bespoke items. The Contracts and Project Managers will assess the site and note any abnormalities that could cause delays or hinder the Project Build Phase.

2

PLANNING & PROCUREMENT

We source materials locally where possible, unless the client has a bespoke design which specifies a certain supplier. All our suppliers are pre-checked and rated as approved by our Estimating Team before orders are placed.

Crofton interiors will plan the logistics and traffic management around the site, aiming to provide as little disruption to the local community as possible, whilst sticking to the project plan.

3

PROJECT MANAGEMENT, H&S & INSTALLATION

Our Project Manager will produce a schedule of works using our Design Management System. This outlines the full scope of works, lists all of the required materials and enables us to plan the installation in phases. This allows for the Construction team to manufacture and install all items to a programmed agenda, ensuring that the whole project runs smoothly and that every component is to the highest standard of quality.

4

POST CONTRACTS

On completion an operations and maintenance manual is issued to the client This ensures that they have all the detailed specifications, test certificates, guarantees and instructions for correctly maintaining the products installed. Our Post Contracts Team are on hand after the build is complete to assist with questions, snagging and any issues that may arise after completion.

In order for Crofton Interiors to help you in the most effective and efficient way possible, your enquiry should have a specification which includes:

The Fire resistance Eurocode Classification. For Doors and Screens separately e.g. E 30, EI 30, E 60, EI 60, EI 1201
Glass Joints Butt Jointed Glass-to-Glass joints or Fully Framed Glass panes Door Functionality Latched on Lever handles/ Unlatched Non rebated on Push/Pull Handles/ Panic Function (EN 179 or EN1125).2
Paint Specification Standard RAL or Metallic RALAcoustic requirements
Steel Type Mild steel or Stainless Access Control Requirements Maglock / Electric Lock / Electric Strikes
Floor Plan Drawings Elevation Drawingsshowing the layout of the glazed screens and doors
Bill of Quantities or Schedule

1 Non-Eurocode fire classifications for Glazing Systems (e.g. ambiguous descriptions such as “FD30”, “30/30”, “30 minutes” “FR30”) are a thing of the past and are the single biggest factor causing serious regulatory and cost increase issues across the industry from enquiry stage to Practical completion. Getting this right is half the battle.

2 If this is not known, please let us know the building tenancy arrangements (single/multiple), floor occupancy factor, perceived frequency of use of the door.

Some notes for your consideration:

  • The Acoustic Ratings offered by all Glazed Office Partitioning Contractors are dB Rw which means that the stated dB Rw acoustic rating (weighted sound reduction index for the human ear) of the system is the rating achieved under laboratory test conditions in accordance with EN ISO 717: 2013 (still current as at March 2020). It is not possible or advisable for a Glazing subcontractor to prove or offer a site tested result (dB R’w) due to various site specific factors, the most relevant one being flanking sound transmission through the structures that the glazed partition is affixed to.
  • Expect a site test result to always be less than the result of laboratory test conditions.
  • Most doors will have a lesser acoustic rating than the screens they are installed into.
