Gainsborough leaps forward into 2021

GAINSBOROUGH

LEAPS FORWARD INTO 2021

For over 50 years, Gainsborough has led the way on style and security in door hardware. This tradition continues today with refreshed new lever designs, on-trend finishes, innovation and time-saving technology for a simpler way of living.

Gainsborough Freestyle™ Electronic Trilock is the beginning of the road map to success, replicating the three locking functions of its mechanical predecessor: > Unlocked (both internal and external handle unlocked) > Locked (external handle locked, internal handle unlocked) > Deadlocked (both internal and external handle is locked) The team at Allegion has ensured these locking modes can be controlled either at the lock and through the app. This is one of the first electronic locks with a deadlock function. When used with the Gainsborough Freestyle™ Door Sensors, users know if the door is locked, unlocked, and deadlocked as well as opened or closed. Allegion Australia’s Managing Director Serge Zappone says of the Gainsborough Freestyle™ Electronic Trilock: “We’re proud to deliver families advanced security for peace of mind, and also create a positive user experience worthy of today’s modern consumer.” Allegion Australia continues to develop a strong road map of product and smart home integration with the Gainsborough brand as new technology is developed. The brand continues to draw on 50 years of style and innovation to develop and keep up with changing styles and consumer needs. As a crucial brand in the Allegion ecosystem, Gainsborough evolves in 2021 with the core pillars of:

> Style – we love good design > Convenience – we make life easier > Peace of mind – we are reliable

Each one separately brings a new era for the Gainsborough brand, and together providing the energy needed to continue its evolution.

BUILDING HEALTHY HOMES

Now more than ever, our homes are the foundation of our lives. They’re a safe haven, where we work, rest, entertain, and build memories. When building a home, it’s critical to select products that keep us safe, especially those of us who suffer from allergies and asthma.

Have you considered the impact of building products on the health of your customers?

According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, about 2.7 million Australians currently live with asthma, and 20 per cent of us suffer from allergies. With these figures in mind, it’s vital to consider how building products used in homes can impact the health of our clients. When building a home, products should be low in volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to ensure very few chemicals are emitted, and they should feature anti-fungal agents to prevent the development of mould. These two features are the key to healthy homes, as VOCs and mould are two of the most common triggers of allergies and asthma.

What type of plasterboard should I be using?

When selecting the best plasterboard product to use inside a healthy home, look for plasterboard that features a powerful anti-fungal agent through the paper lining and paint coating to prevent the growth of mould. All Gyprock® Plasterboard products are certified by the Green Building Council of Australia and Good Environmental Choice Australia, with both entities setting strict limits for what levels of VOC emissions are acceptable for occupied spaces. These types of products are ideal in building healthy homes. And what about insulation and ventilation?

Bradford Insulation and Ventilation products are all approved by the National Asthma Council’s Sensitive Choice® program, making them ideal for the homes of asthma and allergy sufferers and crucial to ensuring a healthy home. Include Bradford Enviroseal® vapour permeable wall wrap and roof sarking, coupled with a powerful smart ventilator like Bradford Airomatic® on the roof to keep heat and humidity at bay, and your build cool and dry.
