ASSA ABLOY UK Specification, a UK division of ASSA ABLOY, brings high specification security solutions to One New Street Square, in London.

Using its capabilities in security design and specification, ASSA ABLOY UK Specification delivered a bespoke range of complete doorset solutions worth £345,000 to London’s new retail and office building near Farringdon Station.

The 16-storey commercial building, One New Street Square, was designed by Robin Partington Architects. The building aimed to achieve BREEAM’s ‘Excellent’ environmental standard through the use of sustainable building methods throughout construction.

ASSA ABLOY UK Specification team has delivered 204 complete doorset solutions from across the ASSA ABLOY portfolio, including high-security steel doors, architectural ironmongery and a range of door closers.

As the building aimed to be BREEAM excellent rated, it was important that the products were integrated in the building in such a way that they’d meet the requirements of an energy efficient building. ASSA ABLOY were able to recommend an appropriate solution to achieve a BREEAM Excellent rating through the EPDs and WLC data associated within their products. This meant they were able to provide a guaranteed performance for the lifecycle of the building.

The data ASSA ABLOY provided was extremely useful when calculating the long-term maintenance and overall performance of the building – something that helped to reduce any anticipated risks for the architect and the client. The product specific EPDs formed a vital part in assessing the building’s overall energy performance.
