Manufacturer of doors and window control systems, Geze UK and British supplier of movable doors, Duvale, have struck a parternship deal which looks set to raise the profile of both brands and drive sales.
The initiative will focus on Geze UK's manual door sliding wall, which was launched in response to increasing demand from architects and specifiers looking for all-glass partition installations.
An automatic underfloor operator has been launched by Geze. The TSA 160 UFO electro-hydraulic operator unit is designed for buildings with glass fa?ades.

Framed by a small canopy, a Slimdrive SCR from Geze has been fitted into the facade of an office development in City Square, Liverpool.
The company was specified for three projects in the city centre where it is providing door and window control systems. At City Square the system was installed within planar glazing to a double height staff entrance lobby.
Shaped to reflect a ship's bow, Sunderland Marine Mutual specified a system by Geze to achieve a marine themed entrance at their headquarters in Durham.
The company designed and fitted three sliding glass doors to form a triangle to the main entrance, using the latest technology to bolt automatic door operators to glass.
By working with sub-contractors, Solaglas, the system was integrated efficiently, and the two company's have worked together before on several similar projects.
A design solution was offered that featured automatic doors with minimal framing, to suit the style of the overall build.
Helping create a spacious lobby in a renovated office in the Mayfair area of London, a control system from Geze has enabled the inclusion of a curved 'feature door' in the entrance area. The company's SC curved slider is concealed into the ceiling to improve the aesthetic of the curved doors. With a smooth operation, the 70mm high Slimdrive SC was selected as it can be fitted inconspicuously.
Withstanding more than five hours of fire testing, the Geze Boxer achieve this during testing at Warrington Fire Research centre, the company claims.

Supplying an entrance system to the University of Oxford's Chemical Research Building, Geze has provided a 360? glass vestible which forms an enclosed lobby to the building.
The company's Slimdrive SCR Curved Sliding Door Asembly was employed in the main part of the entrance, using door leaves and drum walls formed from Slim Profile sections glazed with 10.8mm clear laminated safety glass.
A stainless steel floor track section set beneath the floor level guides the doors in a semi-circle and a 70mm high drive unit concealed above soffit panels allows the door panels to run to full height.
The entrance system contains a battery back-up to ensure a means of escape should the power fail, as well as ultrasonic presence detectors within the soffit panels, activation mode detectors, and an electro-mechanical locking system.
With the addition of the Slimdrive SF to its portfolio, Geze UK now offers a complete series of automatic door drives within the 70mm range. This is an 'intelligent' micro-processor controlled folding door drive with an overall height of just 70mm. It provides the ability to operate within limited spaces thanks to its slim design, and enables barrier-free access in even the tightest areas. Features include a high-performance low-wear dc motor that ensures doors open smoothly and with almost no sound.
