In response to the growing demand for door assemblies that are specifically tailored to meet the needs of specialist heath sector projects, Vicaima have introduced a new brochure offering solutions in both new build and refurbishment applications. The Vicaima Performance Doors – Hospital Range brochure contains products, which have been developed through extensive research and development to make them ideal for areas where compromise is not an option. Combining both appealing aesthetics and technical enhancements, these door assemblies are suited to hospitals, medical centres and many other heath sector environments. Doors within the Hospital Range include a wide selection of configurations including single and double leaf, with or without over panels and even sliding options thereby providing answers for rooms and corridors throughout the building. Naturally as medical establishments are subjected to high levels of people traffic, the Viciama hospital range of products has been developed with durability and easy maintenance in mind. A wide choice of both frame and door finishes allow specifiers to match or compliment interior designs, especially important where refurbishment is taking place.
