requirements, whilst recently introduced hygiene and occupancy monitoring solutions mitigate challenges in this age of Covid-19, adding value to existing or new installations.

entrance control solutions with aesthetic appeal. “Increasingly, we are partnering with architects to see how we are able to customise our entrance control solutions. Gone are the days where architects select from a standard range of products. We prefer to sit with the design team and see which finishes would work best, while still ensuring people-flow management, and safety and security in the workplace,” comments Thomas Porquet, Region Manager Africa, at Gunnebo.
also able to help with the refurbishment and even a complete makeover of their already installed product range. A recent example was a client that spent millions on an office refurbishment and then approached Gunnebo to see how the stainless-steel-finished SpeedStiles in reception could be adapted to meet the new look and feel of the building. After some extensive colour matching, the existing SpeedStiles were completely stripped and powder coated in the exact colour selected by the client. Essentially, Gunnebo was able to change an installation that no longer suited the client with a solution that looked brand new and, most importantly, matched the new interior of the building. So, when designing workspaces or undertaking refurbishments, don’t allow your creativity to be restricted by catalogues or existing entrance control solutions, work with a team that understands the importance of aesthetics in architecture. www.gunnebo.africa
