David Smith's high quality doors and doorsets have been specified for installation throughout a wealth of commercial, public, health, education and leisure sector environments.

For over twenty years, David Smith's high quality doors and doorsets have been specified for installation throughout a wealth of commercial, public, health, education and leisure sector environments When Galliford Try plc, the construction and housebuilding group, gained the £192 million PFI project for construction work at 41 schools in Northamptonshire, they had no hesitation in specifying door and doorsets from David Smith

The project is the largest education scheme in the UK to date with construction to be carried out over two years.

Forming an integral part of Northamptonshire County Council's transition to a new two tier educational system, with new build projects amounting to 80% of the workload, and the remainder being the upgrading of existing facilities it was essential that the specified products are of the highest quality, and will withstand the demands placed upon them for years to come.

David Smith's philosophy is to provide products which deliver high quality, durability and low maintenance.

Manufactured using the latest technology, combined with the skills of traditional craftsmen, their comprehensive range of specialist doorsets are available in timber or steel frames, with various optional decorative facings including natural wood veneer, metal, pvc, or decorative laminate.

In addition, they are specifically designed and tested to meet the criteria for fire resistance, smoke control, acoustic insulation, X-ray protection, anti-vandal and security.

Along with a commitment to manufacturing performance led products, David Smith's management culture encourages an awareness and sensitivity to environmental issues and ensures that all of the appropriate environmental legislation is fully complied with, including the use of timber from only carefully managed forest areas and the implementation of high standards of environmental performance within their factory.

"We are delighted to be working with Galliford Try to improve the educational facilities within Northamptonshire".

"We have completed many installations within the education sector and our expertise proved highly beneficial in helping to ensure that we provided the perfect door solutions for this important project", commented Jeremy English, Sales and Marketing Director of David Smith St Ives .
