Steel & Aluminium Doors

Schools, colleges and universities are demanding environments, with high levels of daily use and a wide range of buildings and infrastructure requiring secure, reliable access. TS Designs manufactures bespoke aluminium and stainless steel doors, security doors and louvres for applications across education estates, from plant rooms and electrical infrastructure to sports halls, service areas and emergency exits.

Supporting Education Estates

Modern education sites contain much more than classrooms. Plant, utilities, sports facilities and external service areas all require durable access solutions capable of withstanding frequent use and challenging environments.

Our products can be designed for applications including:

Plant and utility rooms
Electrical substations and switch rooms
Sports halls and gymnasiums
Emergency and personnel exits
Bin and waste stores
Bike and cycle stores
External storage and service areas
Ventilation and louvre requirements
Security-sensitive infrastructure

Proven Education Experience

TS Designs products have already been installed across a range of education estates, including the University of Warwick, Lancaster University, Harper Adams University, Charlton School, Heath School, Muirhead Technical College and Aston College. Many of these installations have been delivered as part of electrical infrastructure projects through Distribution Network Operators (DNOs), including National Grid Electricity Distribution and Electricity North West. This gives us an established track record of providing durable substation and infrastructure doors within education environments, alongside the potential to support a much wider range of applications across these estates.

Sports Hall & Emergency Exit Doors

Sports halls and gymnasiums present their own challenges, with doors needing to withstand regular use and repeated impact while providing safe and reliable access and egress. Our bespoke aluminium sports hall doors can incorporate purpose-designed rebound protection, helping protect the doors and hardware from impact while providing a durable, maintenance-free solution. We can also provide new and replacement emergency exit doors, including projects where completely new emergency exit openings are required, with the doorset, hardware and configuration designed around the application.

Maintenance-Free, Fit-and-Forget

With large estates to maintain, reducing ongoing maintenance can provide significant benefits to schools, colleges and universities. Our aluminium and stainless steel doors will not rust, rot or warp and require no routine painting, providing a maintenance-free, fit-and-forget solution backed by a 20-year warranty on the door leaf and frame.

Designed Around the Application

Every education site is different, from a school or college to a large university campus. Our strength is our ability to design around the application rather than make the application fit the product. Whether the requirement is for a substation, plant room, sports hall, ventilated service area, new emergency exit or security-rated application, TS Designs can work with education estates teams, contractors, consultants and specifiers to develop a durable solution designed for the long term. I think this gives us a much stronger Education page and, importantly, shows that we already have a genuine footprint within the sector without suggesting that the education establishments themselves necessarily contracted us directly.
