On the site of the former British Alanbrooke Barracks in Paderborn, a new urban quarter with residential, office and commercial spaces is being developed. As part of the conversion of an existing building into modern office space, two aspects were key: safety and spatial quality.
For our client Nordemann GmbH, we supplied tailored fire-rated glass solutions.
The project included 11 m² of EI30 fixed glazing as well as 3 T30 / EI30 all-glass doors. The fixed glazing was installed as side elements to the door systems on all three sides, helping to bring daylight into the corridor areas and maintain an open interior layout.
The all-glass doors were manufactured with precise drillings for fittings and equipped with screen printing. The screen print ensures a uniform appearance while concealing the smoke seal at the lower edge of the door, which provides secure floor sealing in the event of a fire. The smoke seal itself was added by the client.
The project demonstrates how functional fire protection requirements and transparent interior architecture can be seamlessly combined.
