Location

The Four Seasons hotel in Tanjin, China is a 45 storey, 259 room hotel in the heart of the city's Central Business District. The high-end hotel is the first skyscraper in Tianjin to acheive LEED Gold certification for its extensive use of sustainable building products and construction methods.

Requirements

A range of P C Henderson's sliding and folding door hardware products were specified by the project's Architectural Hardware Consultant to meet bespoke design needs. The main requirements were for large, heavy doors that offered a distinctive grandeur, while portraying the luxurious look and feel desired by the end user. It was also important that the chosen hardware could cover a variety of sizeable apertures for different uses within the large development. This included conference rooms, a signature Italian restaurant, mock up rooms for Four Seasons' branded residences, a grand ballroom and also in the hotel's lavish 3,434 sq.ft. Presidential Suite. The Presidential Suite is desgined with many large openings to provide guests with expansive city views from the highest floors, as well as to create flexible and abundant spaces for entertaining.

Products Used

A total of 31 Flexirol Straight Sliding systmes were installed as room dividers in the Presidental Suite and as sliding doors in the hotel's conference rooms. Our Soltaire 120 hardware was employed in the grand ballroom, with 2 sets of our popular Securefold 150 folding door systems fitted in the hotel's Italian restaurant. Phase 1 of the build also included the installation of 32 Husky 100 sliding door systems, completed with soft close mechanisms, in mock-up rooms for the hotel's branded residences. The 2nd phase of the development will see the fit out of 143 branded residences within the same tower.

Why P C Henderson? 

Our Flexirol Straight Sliding hardware systems were specified as they met the project brief which required hardware that could carry heavy doors weighing up to 300kg. While matching the opulent look and feel of the huge Presidential Suite and grand ballroom. Doors of this size msut adhere to stringent saftey requirements which our products conform to due to the rigorous testing we carry out. The unique capabilites and recognised quality of our Husky, Securefold and Soltaire product ranges ensured further specification in other apertures within the development where sliding and folding door hardware required.
