Barking Abbey School extension

Overview

A new, two storey classroom block and sixth form centre was added to Barking Abbey school in Dagenham. The development includes natural ventilation and achieved a BREEAM rating of ‘Very Good’. Energy efficiency was a key concern, as was fire safety, which is why Enfield Speciality Doors was chosen as a key supplier by contractor Neillcott Construction.

Project details

We supplied more than 100 ready-to-hang fire doorsets over a 40-week phased-delivery programme. These included FD30 and FD60 options, all with 35dB acoustic performance, to ensure a quiet and calm environment. 

All doors were manufactured to the environmental management standard ISO 14001. Carbon miles were particularly low on this project as the factory is based just outside of London, less than 20 miles from Dagenham.
