Case Study: Restaurant - Newquay

How the aluminium door installations in restaurants can decrease heating costs and increase standards of comfort for visiting diners.

Situation:

Very recently, one of the United Kingdoms’ leading restaurants in Cornwall needed assistance in replacing their entrance system at the increasingly popular restaurant. From fishnet to table, this restaurant serves arguably the freshest seafood on Cornwall’s North Coast. The restaurant began life as a pop-up eatery serving just-caught fish direct from the deck of fishing boats, before its popularity led to the creation of a permanent restaurant. The restaurant serves simple tasty seafood within a stone’s throw of Newquay harbour. The proprietors of this wonderful busy restaurant approached ADSF UK LTD for assistance in providing a contemporary aluminium entrance screen solution incorporating aluminium doors and bi-fold doors for the frontage of their restaurant.

The restaurant and small bar accommodates a large number of diners throughout the year but especially in the summer time. The restaurant and bar requires an environment which must be temperature controlled to ensure the diners’ comfort during all the seasons.

Aluminium Door Shop Front Solution:

In order to meet the needs of the restaurateur in their entirety, ADSF UK LTD installed light weight doors with aluminium framed manual swing doors and bi-folding doors combined with a large frontage to ensure guest could experience an enjoyable eating experience both inside and outside the dining room. Diners were then given the choice of dining with the large bi-folding doors open on summers days and evenings 'alfresco style' or dine in a nice warm environment on cold winter days. During the awful weather conditions that we endure in this country it is refreshing for the guests to be able to dine with the doors closed but still allowing natural daylight to fill the entire restaurant.

The aluminium door system that ADSF UK LTD selected for this particular property consisted of bi-folding door entrance screens for both the inner and outer main entrance of the building structure; providing both energy and security to the premises.

The manually operated swing doors and bi-fold doors consist of aluminium which is a light yet durable and strong material that offers the ideal solution for both the inner and outer main entrance of the restaurant and bar. The aluminium entrance screen is of course manufactured to the client’s exact specifications of the restaurant and bars main entrance. Following a detailed site survey from an estimator from ADSF UK LTD, the drawings were produced by the ADSF UK LTD (CAD) team and issued to the client for approval.

Restaurant Bar Outcome:

Overall, the innovative new aluminium bi-folding door system provided the client with the assurance of an effective and efficient temperature controlled environment for diners and the employees alike.

These manual aluminium doors provided a cost effective, very attractive and of course efficient solution which was perfect to fulfil the requirements of the restaurant and bar. With precious heat being successfully retained within the premises and the increased security, the manual aluminium doors and aluminium bi-folding doors for both the inner and outer main entrance of the restaurant and bar proved to be exactly what the client had been looking for.

Aluminium Doors: Additional Benefits:

With the newly installed aluminium doors entrance solution, the fish restaurant and bar was much better able to provide diners with a an aesthetically pleasing entrance way in which they could both enter and exit the premises. The visual of the restaurant took on a whole new visual and the newly designed entrance way not only delivered fantastic customer service by making the guests more welcome but inevitably created increased footfall for the restaurant. The new entrance system at the restaurant has transformed the exterior of the premises with its classy, modern and contemporary design.

The restaurateur was very pleased that the new aluminium doors boasted a fundamental benefit of maintaining a comfortable temperature within the dining and bar areas.
