Durable doorsets that withstand the rigours of healthcare
buildings
Hygieniform is available in a wide range of standard colours
as depicted in facing options and can complement any interior
design theme.
Hygienilac® is also being added to Leaderflush Shapland’s
powder-coated aluminium and stainless steel Architectural
Hardware products to provide an extremely durable finish
with long-lasting antibacterial properties.
Guidance in the NHS document HFN (Health Facilities
Note) 30 – Infection Control in the Built Environment – calls
for smooth, hard impervious surfaces which are easy to
clean and durable. The ‘softer’ radiused edges of Plasform® contribute to user-safety whilst being low maintenance and
tough enough to withstand the rough and tumble of the
busiest hospital. Ledges, recesses and right angles, where
dust particles can be trapped, are avoided to allow ease
of cleaning. The value of the distinctive postformed
profile of Plasform® is also recognised in the NHS guidance
document HTM (Health Technical Memorandum) 69 –
Protection – for its part in protecting door edges in healthcare
environments.
This all adds up to a complete, hygienic solution covering all
aspects of the doorset for all the areas that are important for
infection control – door frame, door leaf, door handles and
push plates.
The high performing Plasform® doorset solution is suitable
for the most demanding situations including surgery suites,
pathology labs and pharmacies and can also satisfy a wide
range of technical requirements including X-ray protection,
fire resistance, smoke containment and impressive sound
reduction.
Providing a comfortable and therapeutic environment for
patients which is both flexible and adaptable whilst meeting
a range of complex technological requirements makes
healthcare one of the most challenging areas for the
building industry. The Plasform® range of doorsets with its
unique combination of attributes is the ideal choice to meet
the demands of today’s health sector and Leaderflush
Shapland boasts a long history of success in this area having
manufactured nearly 40,000 doorsets for more than 300
healthcare projects in the last 12 months.
