Ahmarra have won a £500,000 contract to supply FSC sustainable timber doorsets, screens and fixed windows for Shoreham Academy. Portsmouth-based Ahmarra, one of the UK’s leading architectural door and doorset manufacturers, will work with Balfour Beatty Construction and A&A Carpentry on the new Shoreham Academy in Shoreham-by-Sea.

The £30 million project, for West Sussex County Council, involves the provision of a new school complete with theatres, drama and dance studios and a sports hall with spectator seating for 450. Students will continue to study in their existing buildings until Easter 2012 and will start using the new facilities in the summer term of 2012.

Ahmarra Door Solutions range of high performance, FSC timber doorsets and FSC glazed screens and windows were selected in an American White Oak lacquered finish for this project.

Tim Doran, Managing Director of Ahmarra said: “ At Ahmarra, we’re serious about sustainability, all our materials are FSC certified and built to last for generations and that makes them ideally suited for this new build school project”.

Incorporating BM TRADA Q-Mark Certified FD30 and FD60 fire doors and up to 45 RwdB acoustic rated doorsets, Ahmarra’s products were ideally suited to deliver the performance requirements required for the academy.
