Welcome to Batwing.biz, celebrating one of our flagship products, the Lorient Batwing®.
Now achieving 1,000,000 cycles!!
Recent revisions for the Approved Documents to the Building Regulations England & Wales have put more demands than ever on doors. Following the 2003 revision to Document E, many doors must now demonstrate a specific level of acoustic performance. With the 2004 revision to Document M, access for all - not only disabled people - is high on the agenda, so doors must provide a minimal barrier to access, and are required to be much easier to operate. Approved Document B continues to require the vast majority of fire doors to provide smoke protection as well. This is vital for life safety, as smoke travels much faster and much further than fire itself. Even when cooled to ambient temperature, remote from the source of the fire, smoke remains deadly toxic.
The Lorient Batwing® has long set the standard for smoke and acoustic containment for door assemblies. But now, with the new Curved Fin Batwing®, Lorient have proved that the best can be made even better! Its distinctive straight fins have now been re-engineered into a subtle curved design, providing easier door operation, and increased durability while retaining all the smoke and acoustic containment benefits of the Lorient Batwing®.
