Door Industry Journal - Winter 2018

I Do, I Do, I Do – Brio on the Beach in Devon Brio – the UK’s leading supplier of folding door hardware – has made a big contribution to an architecturally adventurous and historic site in Ilfracombe, North Devon, UK - a purpose-built wedding venue. A series of four tunnels were originally carved out of the solid cliffs in the 1820’s - this gave access to the coves and beaches - and tidal pools for seawater swimming. This was known and still is as Tunnel Beaches. Now the site includes Devon Beach Weddings which can cater for 160 guests and is set on the beautiful, coastal landscape. Brio’s Weatherfold 4s folding and sliding door hardware made an adventurous curved door project a reality for the site. Weatherfold 4s was chosen for its resistance to this environment - the sea is well known to be highly corrosive to almost all building materials. But Weatherfold was also chosen for its smooth and easy operation. To reduce time and effort when opening up the venue to its breath-taking views, the project also utilised Brio’s new 286 Dual Point Lock which unlocks the top and bottom with a single action. This hardware upgrade not only improves functionality but also aesthetics as doors use a reduced amount of visible hardware. As for insurers, they will be reassured with the 4 pin 20/10 Euro cylinder in stainless steel. Finish is polished stainless steel or satin nickel.

The new options consist of a long cassette door, with a top-to- bottom window; a curved door, where the windows are placed in a vertical arc; and finally, a design that has one central windowpane as the key feature. Available in a wide range of colours and bespoke detailing, the new doors will allow customers to create completely unique designs. For example, the long cassette door, which is expected to be an extremely popular option, can be glazed in the centre, to the left or to the right.
