What will the next generation of loft ladders look like? Premier Loft Ladders help answer that question...
Premier Loft Ladders Ltd
For many years, loft ladders have largely remained unchanged. Traditionally built from timber, the original loft ladder concept remains a popular and dependable choice. However, fully automatic loft ladders are becoming a popular option, which is the basis for this exciting loft ladder concept. Another key feature is the clear loft hatch door. Therefore, the loft ladder of the future allows light to flood into the room, which is often in a dark landing or hallway.

M-Tray® Instant Green Roof - Cattle Hill Quarry
Wallbarn Ltd
The new generation of M-Tray® modules were used on this office building in Poklington, Yorkshire.

Maggie's Centre Manchester
3v Architectural Hardware Ltd
Architect/Designer: Norman Foster/Foster + PartnersLocation: The Robert Parfett Building, ManchesterProject Overview: New single storey building arranged around a central spine incorporating a mezzanine level, kitchen and variety of meeting spaces. Scope included a complete ironmongery package for all new glazed and timber doors.ServiceFull hardware scheduling & Bespoke finish.Project DetailsHere at 3v we were honoured to provide the ironmongery for the new Maggie’s cancer centre in Manchester that was designed by one of Britain’s most respected architects, Norman Foster, and engineered by his team at Foster + Partners.The first Maggie’s Centre opened in Edinburgh in 1996, there are now 19 Centres at major NHS cancer hospitals across the UK. The Centres have been set up to offer a non-clinical environment where anyone affected by cancer can stop by for advice or support. The timber frame creates a striking angular structure with tapered wooden columns and beams, however the use of warm wood and glass create a soft light-filled environment for people to gather in. What ironmongery do you choose to work with such a beautiful building? With timber as the primary building material and Nordic Bronze roof cladding we turned to our bespoke range and specified solid bronze ironmongery to compliment the natural feel of the buildings material palette. The simple design of our 304 model pull handle works in perfect harmony with the clean angular structure and homely aesthetic; functional while perfectly blending into the final design. Our most popular raw material is high quality stainless steel but increasingly our clients have been asking for something a bit different or unique. Stainless steel would not have worked in this design scheme, matching the bronze cladding added the perfect finishing touches to the warm and tactile materials used in this amazing structure. If you are thinking about specialist finishes for one of your future projects please contact our experienced team so we can advise you in more detail.
