As part of Chessington World of Adventures’ new Aztec themed hotel, The Chessington Azteca Hotel, Richard Burbidge’s commercial pine stop chamfer stairparts have been fitted to provide a secure exit to the hotel.
The Chessington Azteca Hotel is part of the Chessington World of Adventures Resort, which features over 40 rides and attractions, as well as a Zoo and a SEALIFE centre with over 1,000 animals. Each bedroom in the hotel has an Aztec adventure theme, as well as an impressive view over the Wanayma reserve with grazing giraffe, zebras and antelopes.
Richard Burbidge’s commercial pine stairparts have been installed on the hotel’s escape staircase to provide a safe and secure exit for staff and hotel guests. The system’s stop chamfer design softens the edge of the balustrades and newels, creating a visually appealing look and feel; as well as a robust and durable structure to withstand knocks and dents.
The commercial pine stop chamfer stairparts are rigorously tested to meet all commercial regulations, providing a secure and reliable escape exit.
Leigh Sperring, Specification Support Manager for Richard Burbidge said: “We are very proud that our commercial pine stairparts have been chosen as a valuable edition to the hotel.
“Our off-the-shelf availability makes us ideal for one-off projects such as this, as we’re able to supply a quality product, on a quick turnaround at a more competitive price than many bespoke systems.
“As part of our tailor made service we provided Chessington World of Adventures with a thorough site visit, followed up with a CAD drawing to assist them during installation, making the project as quick and seamless as possible.”
Robert Wright, Hotel Operations Director at Chessington World of Adventures Resort said: “The balustrade from Richard Burbidge not only delivers on aesthetics but its superior quality means it’s able to cope with the everyday wear and tear that can be expected in a busy hotel like ours.
“Functionality is key and mustn’t be overlooked; the system provides an important safety barrier for customers and staff and we’re very pleased with the finished result.”
Paul Mitchell from Kay Elliott Architects, said: “We specified Richard Burbidge stairparts due to the company’s proven track record in successfully supplying products for commercial applications. The products are not only aesthetically pleasing but robust and durable, providing unbeatable quality.”
