Add My Company
If you’re an architect, specifier, building designer or main contractor looking at a healthcare project…Axis can help, due to our award of a coveted place on the ProCure23 Recommended Suppliers List.
ProCure23 is the fourth generation of NHS England’s route to market for the provision of design and construction services to NHS capital projects. Axis was on the ProCure22 list, which this now supersedes, so we’re delighted to be able to continue contributing to new build, refurbishment & maintenance projects within NHS properties, across the UK.
OUR CREDENTIALS FOR PROCURE23
Axis is the manufacturer of the innovative and award-winning Flo-Motion® manual sliding door system, developed specifically for the healthcare sector. We’re also the exclusive UK partner for Doorson and Manusa doors.
Our accreditations include Constructionline Gold, CHAS, ADSA, Alcumus and IIP, and we’re active members and contributors to the Architects for Health network.
As well as being manufacturers, suppliers and installers of manual and automatic doors, Axis also has a nationwide network of service and maintenance engineers, which we run from our central UK base.
FLO-MOTION® IN HEALTHCARE
The Flo-Motion® door system was first conceived, designed and developed in-house, for the new, state-of-the-art, Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool, which opened in 2015.
Flo-Motion® manual sliding doors feature recirculating ball guides on a special low resistance linear track system with damper mechanism at the fully opened and closed positions. The high number of balls used ensure continuous contact with bearing surfaces, as well as the contained roller, which increases the slide load rate capability and decreases the movement force for easy and safe operation with minimal effort, using fingertip control. The Flo-Motion® door has been tested to over one million cycles (test stopped at 1.36 million cycles = 3.26million metres).
Other benefits of this range of telescopic, single and double door sets, include space-saving with the slim-line stiles, and a wealth of options for the designer, like full-width, fully glazed panels with interstitial blinds, and the wide scope of finishes, fixings and handles. Once installed, the doors are digitally force tested, and a certificate is issued showing the mean average opening and closing force with test data in graph format.
SUPPORTING ARCHITECTS & BUILDING DESIGNERS
Further enhancing the designer’s work, Axis offers a suite of online tools and resources through its website, including clear opening calculators, specifications, CAD drawings, and BIM models.
Support is also available from the technical and service team, who are always on hand for more information, to share their knowledge and expertise, and to answer questions.
