We were commissioned to supply the doors for the new building for assisted living with day care facilities at the Suhrhard Retirement Home in Buchs, Aargau. This included all doors from the ground floor to the 4th floor, comprising apartment entrance doors, entrance doors and doors for the reception area. The following were used:
interior doors, fire protection and escape route doors, and soundproof doors

Particular highlights include the technically sophisticated, counter-rotating frame solution, ceiling-high elements and doors with a beautiful oak veneer.

The new building complements the complex comprising the care centre, retirement estate and hospital, and offers people with mild care needs a self-determined home characterised by structure, community and a sense of security.
