Time after time Leaderflush Shapland has continuously been the choice doorset supplier for award winning projects due to our wealth of knowledge and experience in the manufacture of performance doorsets and an extensive range of product solutions for market sectors such as education, health, commercial and leisure.

The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) awards are given to acknowledge the design and construction of buildings that meet high architectural standards but that also make a substantial contribution to the local environment, meeting both modern aesthetic and performance standards. Leaderflush Shapland supplied to 9 of the RIBA 2008 award winning projects which included the University of Winchester, Pinewood Infant School and The Royal Festival Hall. The 2009 RIBA awards saw Leaderflush Shapland supply to 10 of the award winning projects which included the Joseph Chamberlain College, the Castle Hill Hospital and the North Glasgow College – with over 1,400 doorsets being supplied to these three projects alone.

More recently Leaderflush Shapland supplied 340 veneered doorsets, faced in crown cut European Oak meeting performance characteristics for both fire resistance and sound reduction, to the winner of Building Magazine’s project of the year award 2010 - The Ashmolean Museum which is also up for the £100,000 Art Fund Prize 2010. The delicately executed £61m redevelopment, designed by award-winning Rick Mather Architects has extended the Grade 1 listed building in which 39 new galleries, an education centre, rooftop restaurant, conservation studios, and study rooms were added.

Leaderflush Shapland has consistently supplied to prestigious award winning projects year on year and it is no wonder with innovative products such as Hygienilac, Sentinel and EnduraCor and our wealth of experience why Leaderflush Shapland is the UK’s leading performance doorset manufacturer.
