At the new Van Heek production site of Vitens in Zeddam, the building had to blend into its natural surroundings while meeting strict functional and safety requirements for access and escape doors. Merford supplied steel doors with wooden cladding, allowing them to visually merge with the building’s wooden exterior while meeting high standards for security, acoustics and water resistance.
