Cycling continues to be the fastest way of moving around our biggest cities making cycle stands an essential part of any urban construction project.
Whatever the location, any cycle stands installed in a busy public area must be able to withstand the rigours of daily use without needing constant maintenance. The VELOPA Transport Cycle Stand range was designed with city life in mind and meets these requirements perfectly. Manufactured from mild steel and galvanised as standard to ensure their longevity, each of the stands within the range has been created to fully comply with the cycle parking recommendations in force in their namesake cities.

London 1 version 2m field 3 version 2London

There are two preferred cycle stands in use on the London transport network; the London Cycle Stand and the ‘M’ Cycle Stand. Both are designed to offer cyclists the maximum security possible when leaving their bicycles unattended. Whilst the London Cycle Stand uses a wider diameter steel tube to boost its defensive properties, the M stand’s design gives cyclists variable locking heights to provide a higher level of security than traditional cycle stands.

Be aware! Certain areas of London require all their street furniture items to be coated black. All of our cycle stands can be coated in any RAL or BS colour; please specify the colour at time of ordering. AUTOPA’s standard black is RAL 9005.

The Manchester Cycle Stand is the widest cycle stand of the range; at 1000mm, it provides secure cycle storage for all styles of bicycle. This stand is supplied with contrasting reflective banding as standard to ensure that is can see by all pedestrians in all weather conditions. Additional signage plates and tapping rails can be added if required.

 

Birmingham 3Birmingham

The Birmingham Cycle Stand features an integrated tapping rail and signage plate making it fully compliant with all DDA regulations and the recommendations in place on the Birmingham transport network. The signage plate can also be used by cyclists as an additional locking point for their bicycles.

The final stand within the range is the Transport Cycle Stand. This stand is designed to meet the recommendations set by the majority of UK councils and is perfect for use in high footfall areas. The integrated low-level signage plate doubles as a functional tapping rail making the stand easily identifiable for visually impaired pedestrians.

The VELOPA brand has been synonymous with the manufacture of high-quality cycle storage products for over 60 years, so whatever project you are working on, we will be able to help.

GEC-Anderson-Series A Sinks IB Series A sinks from GEC Anderson, the stainless steel specialists, are now available individually.

UntitledSeries A sinks are available in an unrivalled range of standard sizes and are suitable for all installation types, including for inset, undermount and flushmount fixing. Their distinctive 15mm corner radius and 20mm flat flange provides a neat and contemporary appearance whilst ensuring they are easy to clean and maintain. This makes them ideal for all situations where high quality and practical sinks are required.

There are eight single sizes, ranging from 180mm to 700mm as well as nine double and combination sizes. Therefore, there are, currently, 17 models in the range. Plans exist already to further enhance the range through the introduction of models with drainers and others with tap holes.

With their superb aesthetics and practicality, Series A sinks are of the very finest quality and finish and are made using EN 1.4301 grade bright satin stainless steel.

The Series A sinks are very competitively priced. For example, the A50 (500x400x200mm), sells at £450, including VAT.

Managing Director of GEC Anderson, Martin Tye, says: “The introduction of the Series A sinks, for inset, undermount and flushmount applications is a really exciting development. Series A sinks provide a great combination of unmatched quality, beautiful appearance, a tremendous range of sizes and real value for money.”

As well as being available individually, Series A bowls can, of course, also be included within GEC Anderson stainless steel worktops.

Tye again: “We have actually been waiting a long time for this series, which provides a number of true benefits to specifiers and users. The fact that Series A sinks are available with the full range of fixing options – integrated within custom stainless steel worktops, undermounted, inset or flushmounted offers real versatility. They have proved extremely popular with our stainless steel worktop customers but will now appeal to a broader range of customers who may be considering various other worktop materials such as stone, granite, laminate, composite etc.”

Series A bowls are manufactured to the highest standards, with a superb bright satin finish and clean, linear, appearance. They are available in an impressive range of single sizes: 180, 230, 340, 400, 450, 500, 550 and 700mm, plus a further nine double and combination options.

Series A bowls feature the 15mm corner radius to maximise useable bowl volume and have a front-to-back dimension of 400mm. The 15mm corner radius gives the sinks a clean and modern appearance whilst at the same time being highly practical.

Individual bowls from the Series A range are available now. Visit www.gecanderson.co.uk for more information. Alternatively, call GEC Anderson on 01442 826999.
