ATDC Works With New Luxury Shopping Centre Development

The Australian Trellis Door Company (ATDC) is pleased to announce its involvement (with concertina permashield folding doors) in the new Delacombe Town Centre, a $60 million shopping centre development at the corner of Glenelg Highway and Cherry Flat Rd, Ballarat, only an hour and a half drive from the centre of Melbourne. Anchor tenants at the site include Woolworths and Kmart, as well as 35 smaller specialty stores, as well as a 500-seat, 6-screen Showbiz cinema and a medical centre.

 

 

Working With Major Brands

ATDC has supplied its premium grade concertina accordion permashield doors to multiple tenancies at the centre including a Direct Chemist Outlet, Tatts Lotto, Just Cuts, Toyland, Smart Dollar, Che Modea and more.

As the nominated door contractor for the centre, ATDC worked closely with developer and construction company H.Troon in ensuring timely delivery under very tight deadlines of its concertina doors.

 

What Did We Supply for the Centre?

The concertina doors supplied by ATDC were primarily its 300mm wide panel FC1 model door. These are fabricated from heavy-duty extruded aluminium sections with interlocking hinges suspended from a rigid top support track by industrial-grade hangars. This allows the curtain to fold in a low-friction action, making it easy to operate and giving it a longer lasting lifespan.

Note that ATDC also manufactures a slimline 150mm wide concertina door panel where required. For further information on ATDC’s slimline panel door see this article on the launch of the new Slimline Panel Accordion Door in Australia.

 

Why Choose Concertina Doors?

These concertina doors were all supplied with secure, seamless up/down locking mechanisms, thus providing all tenants at Delacombe Town Centre with a speedy, efficient, user-friendly lock-up option without the need for cumbersome removable mullions. Numerous tenancies also had emergency egress locking options as specified under BCA, which provide an emergency breakout door solution where required.

All ATDC’s concertina folding doors at Delacombe Town Centre were supplied with a polycarbonate infill, and some tenancies were supplied with doors completed in a natural anodised finish, whilst others had a powder-coated finish applied. It should be noted that other infill options are available, including perforated mesh or solid aluminium.
