Door Industry Journal - Summer 2015

Also online at: www.dijonline.co.uk 47 THE door industry journal summer 2015 industrial doors feature built from reclaimed materials, the decision was made to fit three of Hörmann’s ALR F42 glazed, sectional aluminium doors. Hörmann’s precision engineering would ensure that Archerfield invested in a set of doors that were not only fully functional and reliable, but also looked the part. Thanks to the precision glazing, the ALR F42 doors create a striking mix of mirroring and transparency. The elegant surface-mounted, flush-fitting panels also help to present a smooth overall appearance, which subtly complements the buildings around it. For Brian, it was vital that he worked alongside the architects and builders to ensure that the construction was completely accurate in order to safeguard a flawless installation process. Brian commented: “With Archerfield and its builder already having a well-established relationship, we were flattered to be approached to supply such a key part of the project. The whole process was very simple and it was an absolute pleasure to deal with them.” Stuart Bayne, director of golf at Archerfield, was particularly impressed with the service provided by IDS: “The installation of the three Hörmann doors went very smoothly and was completed in just a couple of days. The engineers from IDS worked quickly and efficiently, nothing was too much trouble. I found the training given by their team after the doors were installed extremely useful, in particular the detailed on-site demonstration of the correct operation procedures. “The doors all work incredibly well. They fit in perfectly and have such a natural look about them, so we’re very pleased with the end result. I would definitely recommend both IDS and Hörmann to anyone in the future.” The Centre opened on 7 July 2014 with four- time major champion and Nike athlete, Rory McIlroy, giving the assembled guests a masterclass of ball striking. One year down the line and the facility is in full swing, with customers coming from all over Europe and as far a field as Mexico to take advantage of the world-class fittings and to experience the stunning estate. Following the success of the Performance Fitting Centre at Archerfield, Nike is now looking to replicate the facility in other locations around the world. In addition to the Centre’s facilities, Archerfield Links’ Estate boasts two stunning championship- level courses designed by DJ Russell; a 17th century mansion house; an ethical spa, recently voted in the top six new spas in Europe; a gym and a range of luxurious accommodation.
