The Challenge
ASK Italian’s challenge was finding a solution that didn’t detract from their carefully crafted interiors. They needed a product to prevent finger injuries and fit discreetly within their modern, design-led spaces. Traditional, bulky safety products would disrupt the aesthetic, and ASK Italian wanted a solution that would be both practical and elegant.
The key challenges included:
Ensuring Safety: Protecting customers from hand and finger injuries in high-traffic areas like doors.
Maintaining Aesthetics: Ensuring the product didn’t interrupt the stylish, contemporary interior design.
Longevity and Durability: Finding a solution that would withstand daily use in a busy restaurant environment.
ASK Italian’s goal was to enhance the customer experience and reduce the risk of finger trapping by providing safety without compromising design.
The Solution
Alumax Integral Finger Guards were the ideal solution for finger protection, providing both safety and design integrity. The key features include:
Invisible Protection: The sleek, rounded design integrates effortlessly into the restaurant’s interiors, offering protection without being noticed.
Enhanced Safety: The Alumax design features a rounded heel and a consistent 2mm hinge-reveal gap, preventing the risk of finger trapping.
Long-lasting Durability: Alumax’s robust construction means it lasts for the lifetime of the door, eliminating the need for frequent replacements.
Cost Savings: Over 25 years, Alumax finger guards saves between £500 and £1,000 per door compared to plastic alternatives, offering a significant return on investment.
We worked closely with Greig & Stephenson Architects to establish a standard specification for ASK Italian’s new builds and refurbishments, ensuring consistent safety across all restaurant locations.
