Dortek worked with the architects Zaha Hadid for almost 2 years building in some unique features into the door design and went on to work with S&P Architects who are specialists in pool and leisure environments. Some of the features of the Dortek waterproof door in this environment include:
A completely encapsulated one piece moulded waterproof door without joins or seams. Door panel will not warp, rust, rot, surface peel or delaminate.
Bespoke frames to fit flush with the wall finish.
Concealed waterproof intumescent strip on fire doors. Tested to relevant fire codes.
Window spacers colour matched to doors.
Hidden fixing detail to doorframes.
Colour built in during the moulding process. No decoration required throughout the life of the door.
The £240M Aquatic Centre currently being built by Balfour Beatty Construction is very distinctive as it has a wave design cantilever roof modelled on a Manta Ray. The project is due to be complete by July 2011 so it can be fully tested and commissioned for the London Olympics in 2012.
