Tango and Festival

It's never dull working for a number of smaller companies. This month has included an update of our Herts-based Tango dance teachers' web site, renamed Tango de Salon, plus the annual publication of the Welwyn Festival programme.

In addition to producing the artwork for the 36-page WF programme, we are responsible for updating the News and Events blog, the WelFest FaceBook page and www.Twitter.com/WelFest. These are handled on a purely voluntary basis for no charge.

The Welwyn Festival takes place each June in the Roman village of Welwyn, Herts., off junction 6 of the A1(M).

SunSeeker Slimline BiFolding Patio Doors - republished from client's blog

Aluminium bifolding doors have slimmer profiles than pvc doors.

Metal is a stronger material than plastic therefore less of it is required to support the double-glazed unit that is the centrepiece of your bifolding door panel.

The top image illustrates the profiles of a 4-panel bifolding door system from SunSeeker Doors compared with the equivalent pvc profiles in the picture beneath it.

In addition to the obvious benefits when the doors are closed, this means that the profile (the edge of the door panel that can be seen when the doors are open) is narrower, typically 50mm compared with 75mm on the pvc doors we measured. The profile for a pair of doors is more than double because there needs to be a small gap (approx 15mm or so) between the hinged door panels.

Given that pvc profiles are, on average, 50% wider than SunSeeker Doors’ aluminium profiles, the difference increases proportionally with the number of doors. The space required by an open set of six pvc door panels is in the region of 50cm, 6 or 7 inches more than SunSeeker Doors.
