Howe Green offers versatile access solutions

01 April 2007

owe Green, the UK’s leading developer and manufacturer of floor, ceiling and wall access solutions in aluminium and stainless steel, has been making huge inroads into the UAE market, especially with its 5000 Series.

This range, which comes in the clear opening sizes of 300 by 300 and 600 by 600 mm, has been gaining in popularity for applications such as shopping centres, palaces, villas and hotels.
“The range of access solutions allows quick, easy and safe access to mechanical and electrical services,” says a spokesman for Mac Al Gurg, the company that keeps a ready inventory of the Howe Green products and backs its sales with excellent customer service.
The Howe Green range includes standard and purpose-built floor access covers designed to suit any opening or module and for use with any type of flooring. Covers can be single unit, continuous runs or multi-part configurations.
The aesthetically-pleasing Showedge options in brass, aluminium, stainless steel or high-impact coloured PVC enable the covers to blend harmoniously with the surrounding environment, he says. Fitted quickly and unobtrusively, these tamper-resistant covers, with a fire rating of one hour, are double sealed to meet the highest standards of hygiene and security and resist the ingress of dirt, water and other contaminants, he adds.
“In addition to floor access covers, the Howe Green range includes floor edge trims, matwell frames, entrance matting, wall access hatches and ceiling access panels,” says the spokesman.
Specified worldwide, typical applications include airports, factories, hospitals, hotels, offices, railway stations, schools, shopping centres and universities. Some of the leading projects in the UAE where the Howe Green range has been used include Carrefour near the Shindagah Tunnel, Carrefour at City Centre, Deira, Carrefour at Mall of The Emirates, Al Ghurair City, Dubai Festival City, all in Dubai; and at the City Centre and Mega Mall, both in Sharjah.
Mac Al Gurg, which supplies this versatile range of products, is the most trusted name in supply of building materials in the UAE since 1974, the spokesman adds.
