Poole Waite & Co Ltd are looking forward to welcoming SIMONSWERK UK to our showroom during Clerkenwell Design Week 19th–21st May. We will be joined by Area Sales Manager Daniel Gilson across all three days, so if you are working on a project, or just want to come and see the products in person, please come and visit our showroom. SIMONSWERK UK products on display at our showroom We will have a wide range of Simonswerk products on show including three of their most popular ranges: TECTUS — the completely concealed hinge system. When the door is closed, there's nothing to see, no visible hardware at all. Available in a wide range of load capacities and sizes, it works across everything from residential doors to heavy-duty and timber entrance doors — including fire door applications with TECTUS FR, and energy transfer systems with the TECTUS Energy. Every model shares the same clean, uniform appearance. SIMONSWERK UK TECTUS TRITECH — for heavy weight flush doors. Manufactured in the UK from extruded brass sections and accurately machined to close tolerances, these hinges are built to perform. The high copper content of brass gives them natural anti-bacterial qualities, while a special bearing technology means they can carry door weights up to 160kg. Also available in a fire rated option, independently tested and CE marked for use on both 30 and 60 minute fire resistant door sets. Available in a wide range of decorative finishes — plated, polished, or with finial tips — they're as considered in appearance as they are in performance. SIMONSWERK UK TRITECH Self-closing hinge systems for glass doors — smooth, controlled closing with no slamming and no compromise on aesthetics. Suitable for interior and exterior applications, across a wide range of finishes, and designed to work with the door rather than against it. If you're specifying glass doors and need reliable closing performance, it's well worth a conversation. SIMONSWERK UK COLCOM If you have a project coming up, a specification question, or would like to arrange a RIBA-approved CPD on hinge specification, Daniel would be happy to help. Join us at 8 Charterhouse Buildings, Goswell Road, EC1M 7AN. We hope to see you there. It all hinges on excellence. For more than 135 years, SIMONSWERK has been combining technical expertise, exceptional customer service and design standards at the highest level — bringing together our entire competence in hinge systems made in Europe under one brand.

If you are a fire door installer, office fit-out specialist, or facilities maintenance company involved in replacing large volumes of stainless steel door signage, and serious about reducing your carbon footprint, Poole Waite & Co Ltd can now offer you a smarter, greener option. Old fire door signage, degraded by cleaning and handling Why refurbish your door signage instead of replacing? The supply of new stainless steel door signage has proven to create a negative impact on the environment. Most new signs are: Manufactured overseas (often in Asia) Transported thousands of miles using land, sea, and/or air freight Packaged in non-biodegradable plastics harmful to the environment Printed with non-durable finishes that wear quickly with cleaning and handling Not only does this create avoidable waste, but it also leads to recurring replacement costs and increases your project’s environmental impact. Fully refurbished 'old to new' signage How do we refurbish your old door signage? We collect or you deliver your used signage to our London premises Discs are mechanically cleaned and degreased. They are then satin finished as standard (other finishes available include matt black, matt white, polished stainless steel and adonic bronze.) Discs are printed to our standard format. The process we use provides a highly durable finish proven to be up to 3x more hard-wearing than standard signage Each sign is supplied complete with new screws. Signs are individually packaged using starch-based biodegradable bags and 100% recycled cardboard The refurbishment process is fully undertaken within a 20-mile radius of our Central London premises, limiting overseas transportation This not only extends the life of your existing components but supports your organisation’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals - a growing priority in commercial construction and fit-out projects. Whether you’re refurbishing a commercial space or outfitting a new-build development*, our eco-friendly architectural ironmongery services help you deliver sustainable outcomes. We believe that even small decisions, like how we handle signage, can have a lasting impact. *If you are unable to supply old signs, we can supply fully refurbished 'new' signs from our stocks. Our Ironmongery Refurbishment Scheme  is available now. To find out more or explore our wider range of eco-friendly ironmongery , get in touch with our sales team today.
