GLASS PARTITIONING PROVIDES PRIVACY FOR MOURNERS

Rushcliffe Oaks is a new crematorium situated in open countryside in Nottinghamshire. Partitioning specialist, Style, worked with contractor, A&S Enterprises, to increase the functionality of the space between the entrance lobby and the chapel. A Dorma Hüppe Variflex semiautomatic glass moveable wall was chosen as the best option, allowing the chapel to be quickly closed off from the main entrance area whenever a funeral is in progress. Minimising possible disturbance, Variflex delivers an impressive 50 dB acoustic rating, with further privacy being offered by the inclusion of automatic blinds that are integrated into the individual glass panels. Contributing to the facility’s drive for a low carbon footprint, the Dorma Hüppe Variflex moveable wall has an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) in accordance with ISO 14025 and EN 15804, making it a highly sustainable solution. To ensure the room is fully accessible, Style increased the height of the pass door in the moveable wall to 2400mm, enabling a coffin to be easily manoeuvred into the chapel.
