As the industry evolves, so too must the products that serve it. Recognising this need for innovation, Brickhouse are excited to announce the updated Broadstel range. While the product name remains unchanged, the innovations and enhancements are setting a new standard in the market.

The new designs bring a host of enhancements that make them more versatile and easier to use than ever before, bringing our customers the best in British manufacturing, whilst also streamlining the manufacturing process, allowing for quicker production without sacrificing quality.

Tailored Design for Versatile Applications

A key feature of the updated Broadstel range is the introduction of two options for frame depths. This flexibility allows the product to accommodate a variety of finished floor levels, making it easier for contractors and designers to select the right cover for their projects. Additionally, the tray depth, tie bar depth, and vertical sides of the tray have been optimised to suit a wide range of infills. This means that customers can now stock a single cover type that meets the needs of most of their clients, streamlining inventory management and reducing costs.

The updated Broadstel range also eliminated the need for welding on the top face of the covers. This design change results in a seamless, smooth top and corner profile, providing a superior finish that complements the most aesthetically demanding projects. For installations where visual appeal is crucial, the new Broadstel covers offer a polished look that enhances the overall quality of the project.

The range also features an arrower frame design, which simplifies the installation process, particularly when replacing older products. This refined design reduces the need for extensive remedial work, such as cutting larger rebates or replacing surrounding tiles. By minimising these additional steps, the Broadstel range helps to lower over all project costs and expedite the installation process—an important benefit in today's fast-paced construction environment.

Enhanced Safety and Ease of Use

The Broadstel range continues to offer full compliance with FACTA loadings, ensuring that each cover meets the necessary load-bearing requirements for a wide range of applications. Whether for heavy-duty industrial settings or areas with high pedestrian traffic, Broadstel covers provide the strength and durability needed to perform reliably under pressure.

The updated Broadstel design also prioritises safety and ease of use. The covers are designed to be easily slid out in line with manual handling requirements, addressing the challenge of lifting recessed covers that can become extremely heavy when filled. Additionally, the covers are equipped with allen head screw capped-off threaded lifting points, making them ideal for use in areas with high pedestrian traffic, such as inside buildings or near entrances.

Comprehensive Special Features and Sizes

The Broadstel range is designed to cater to a wide variety of project requirements, offering an extensive list of special features. These include options such as triple sealing, security screws, and square-to-round conversions for PPICs, as well as fully stainless steel options in grades 304 or 316. This adaptability makes the range suitable for a diverse array of applications, ensuring that every project can benefit from a cover that matches its specific needs.

To accommodate the varied demands of the industry, Broadstel also carries all industry-standard sizes in stock. These include sizes such as 300x300, 300 dia, 450x450, 450 dia, 600x450,600x600, 750x600, 675x675, 900x600, 750x750, 900x900, and 1220x675. With such a comprehensive selection readily available, Broadstel ensures that customers can find the right solution quickly and efficiently.
