One of the largest-ever Curvaglide   curved, sliding glass doors has been installed at a new £3.5 million visitor and education centre dedicated to the Battle of Britain overlooking the English Channel in Kent.

The cliff-top site at Capel-Le-Ferne near Folkestone is dedicated to Churchill's famous 'Few' who fought in the skies overhead to keep Britain from invasion.

​

Comprising ten curved panels and measuring 19 metres across by 2.55 metres high, the Curvaglide   door is a striking design element at the Battle of Britain Memorial Trust's new 'Wing building' where it provides commanding panoramic sea views from the first-floor Cockpit Café. The building's architectural designer and specifier, Nick Lawn, partner at Folkestone-based Godden Allen Lawn, commented: "The Curvaglide   door looks fantastic with 180-degree views of the sea; you couldn't ask for a better location for it. When the four sliding panels are fully open, the eight-metre opening really connects with the outside terrace, which is just what I wanted."
