Printworks is a high quality mixed-tenure development, designed by Glenn Howell Architects, which will make a substantial contribution to the regeneration of the Elephant & Castle area, providing affordable homes for key workers alongside private for sale and socially-rented homes. The nine storey block has offices on the ground floor and 97 apartments with a choice of 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms.

1090 Urban Edge door sets were specified for the project constructed with EnduraCor – an exclusive engineered performance core whose durability and stability make it especially suitable for harsh environments. In a recent independent test, EnduraCor was shown to be one hundred times more durable than multi-layered chipboard. This highly cost-effective solution could significantly reduce ‘whole life’ repair and maintenance costs and may never have to be replaced.

Door sets were faced in crown cut American red oak incorporating an anti-microbial additive within the wood lacquer which kills most harmful bacteria including C.diff, MRSA, Salmonella, Ecoli and Listeria.

Leaderflush Shapland’s well established supply chain and capacity to deliver makes Urban Edge the perfect choice for high volume developments such as Printworks, Frobisher Crescent at the Barbican and Adelaide Wharf. These high quality, bespoke, residential door sets combine style with functionality and affordability, and with a wide choice of finishes and glazing panel options, provide complete, cost-effective door set solutions for the residential property sector.

All Leaderflush Shapland door sets are accredited to the BS EN ISO9001: 2004 quality management system with fire resisting products manufactured under the intensive BWFCERTIFIRE independent conformity scheme. This gives the assurance that every single component has been tested and will perform as required.

As part of Leaderflush Shapland, the UK’s leading performance door set manufacturer and part of the £3 billion SIG group, Urban Edge can offer door sets across a vast range of environments.
