A Shropshire domestic safety product supplier is celebrating a contract win with the US division of a worldwide company, which fabricates and installs architectural, aluminium facade systems.

Telford-based Jackloc Company has seen its Jackloc window restrictor installed at the Dream Hotel in Manhattan, in a contract with SchŸco USA LP delivered for the New York Health Department.

Describing the project details Patrick O’Connors, aluminium project co-ordinator at SchŸco USA LP, said: “The Dream Hotel is a 1950s-style building that’s been renovated and modernised and our brief was to maintain the design and artistic appearance from the era.

“A sloped facade with large five-foot circular windows required a standard solution to what otherwise would have been an expensive customised alternative. In fact, the windows would not have adapted well to a concealed device.

“The NYHD planning team readily accepted Jackloc’s surface-mounted, simplistic, stylish design, with the all-important safety requirement. The chrome finish option also added a very hi-tech appearance to the product, a feature that has also impressed the architectural community in which we operate.

“SchŸco USA LP has a number of potential projects that the Jackloc would work well on – it is a simple and effective solution to a sometimes complex problem.”

Deborah Allbutt, managing director at the Jackloc Company Ltd, said: “Jackloc has proved popular with top-class hotels in the UK such as the Ritz and Claridge’s in London.

“Therefore, selection for such a prestigious project in the US reinforces its uniqueness and is a continuing show of faith in the product. We relish the association with such a well respected worldwide brand name such as SchŸco and look forward to working together in the future.”
