Cleared For Take-Off… Shaws Head to the Airfield! ✈️
If you’ve been following us, you’ll know there’s rarely such a thing as a “typical” Shaws job. One week it’s a new front door in Hove, the next, a glazed roof at Brighton College or new windows at the Brighton Centre.
This week, our commercial team has taken things to new heights…
👷 On Site At Blackbushe Airport
We’ve been on site at Blackbushe Airport, working alongside Gatwick Construction on a brand-new aviation building. Hard hats on, drawings out, every opening measured, checked, and double-checked before the install. On a project this size, millimetres really do matter.
What We’re Supplying & Fitting
- Smart Wall aluminium doors and screens – a thermally broken commercial system with PAS 24 and LPS 1175 security ratings
- Large fixed screens up to 5.5 metres wide
- Fire exit doors with concealed panic bars (BS EN 1125)
- Anti-finger-trap doors and level double-ramp thresholds
- Ventilated louvre panels for the plant rooms
Commercial Doesn’t Have To Mean Boring
The doors and screens are dual-colour – anthracite grey inside and a warm copper brown outside, so they look the part as well as doing the job. Proof that your windows and doors don’t have to match inside and out… even on an airfield!
Safety Comes As Standard
On a working airfield, doors get serious use. Panic bars provide a fast, safe exit in an emergency, anti-finger-trap hinges protect hands, and level thresholds let staff wheel trolleys and equipment straight through.
Same Team. Same Standards
So why share a hangar on a page full of front doors and bi-folds? Because it’s the same Shaws team doing the work. Where safety, security, and getting the details right aren’t optional, that’s the standard we bring to every home across Brighton, Hove, and Sussex.
A big thank you to our survey and commercial teams, we’ll share the finished building once it’s complete! 👏
