Case Study: Friska Foods – Harbourside Bristol

FRISKA AT BRISTOL HARBOURSIDE

Once a busy dock where sailors and merchants would trade goods and set sail for voyages of discovery, Bristol's Harbourside is now an attractive, modern development filled with restaurants, bars, shops and hotels.

The area is alive with the buzz of Sunday markets, waterside restaurants and bars and a whole host of sports and activities including yachting, paddle boarding, cycling and rowing.

Friska Foods at Harbourside opened up in April 2015 on Cathedral Road, right in the heart of the scheme, just a stone’s throw from the fabulous waterfront and millennium square.

Friska's aim was to bring their brand of "feel good food" to all the people who live and work in the Harbourside area of the city. This branch of Friska Foods has plenty of inside and outside seating, making it perfect for those summer days.

The Situation:

Fairly recently, the directors of Friska Foods contacted ADSF UK LTD for assistance in replacing their existing entrance doors and providing a contemporary aluminium entrance screen solution incorporating aluminium doors for the frontage of their food outlet at their Bristol Harbourside branch.

Friska Foods accommodates a large number of customers on a daily basis throughout the year; Friska caters for individuals who would like to eat inside the premises but in addition serves the large amount of office workers from nearby locations on a takeaway basis and therefore pedestrian traffic flow is high. The premises need to be temperature controlled for the comfort of their customers

Aluminium Doors Solution:

In order to meet the needs of the client in their entirety, ADSF UK LTD installed 2 no set of framed aluminium doors. Customers could then choose to eat 'alfresco style' or eat in a nice warm environment on cold winter days with the doors closed still allowing daylight to fill the entire seating area. The framed aluminium doors were designed by ADSF UK LTD incorporating stainless steel 304 grade semi circular handles. These doors were combined with anti-finger trap styles for finger protection. The doors were glazed with safety glass and finished in anodised silver for a fresh, modern and contemporary look.

The doors were manufactured from aluminium which is a light yet durable material that provided the ideal solution for the entranceways into Friska Foods. Following a site survey from an estimator from ADSF UK LTD the aluminium framed doors were manufactured to the client’s exact specifications of the entrances. The drawings (CAD) were then of course issued to the client for approval.

Outcome:

These manual aluminium doors provided a cost effective, attractive and efficient solution which was perfect to meet the requirements of Friska Foods. Alongside the increased security from the installation of the aluminium doors, Friska Foods had an aesthetically pleasing entranceway in which they could both enter and exit the premises.
