Door closers improve mental health
Powermatic controlled, concealed door closers from Samuel Heath have become the preferred choice of clinicians, health estate managers and designers when looking at the construction and improvement of mental health facilities. Designed, engineered and manufactured in the UK, Powermatic door closers meet all relevant fire and accessibility regulations. They are particularly suitable for mental health facilities because they are installed neatly between the door and frame, meaning that they are totally concealed when the door is closed. Powermatic is the perfect choice where anti-ligature and anti-barricade measures need to be taken, and is recommended for use on many proprietary door systems. The absence of surface mounted controls means that when the door is closed, the door closer is out of sight and cannot be used as a point of ligature. Powermatic’s concealment also reduces the risk of damage through vandalism and helps to improve the aesthetics of interiors, creating the less institutionalised, more therapeutic environments valued in psychiatric care.

www.concealeddoorclosers.com Bostik cures Hope Health Centre’s flooring requirements
A range of subfloor preparation and adhesive products from Bostik have been chosen by OSS Commercial Flooring Ltd for the development of a new health centre, which serves the communities of Hope and Caergwrle in Flintshire, North-West Wales. Following a technical survey by Bostik, OSS Commercial Flooring selected the company’s Screedmaster One Coat Membrane to protect the new floor coverings from subfloor moisture. Bostik’s Screedmaster Universal Primer was then applied to the surface membrane, before the Screedmaster Flow and Ultimate smoothing compounds were floated out to a 3mm thickness in various areas of the devel- opment. Bostik’s Laybond Pressure Sensitive adhesive was then used to adhere the vinyl floor coverings. Bostik’s wide product and service offering was therefore a key driver in winning the project. The company’s technical team conducted a site visit, including moisture testing, prior to the installation of the new floor. When the Screedmaster One Coat Membrane had cured, a uniform coating of Screedmaster Universal Primer was applied to enhance interaction between the subfloor and the smoothing compound.

When the Ulster Hospital announced its Phase B Redevelopment Programme, main contractors GRAHAM-Bam Healthcare Partnership (GBHP) appointed Tandragee Roofing to complete the waterproofing and insulation of roofs and podium decks using Icopal waterproofing products. The
Icopal’s products used resulted in a truly multi-system solution to the buildings’ waterproofing and insulation needs. The Ulster Hospital Phase B Redevelopment will provide a new Inpatient Ward Block and a new Acute Services Block. Icopal’s products were used throughout.

Stelrad’s leading range of low surface temperature radiators are proving themselves in projects across the UK – from universities, colleges, schools and nurseries, to care and nursing homes, hospitals, sheltered housing and public LSTs are specially designed to
provide comfortable heat, but in a radiator whose casing never exceeds 43 degrees centigrade. This makes them ‘safe to touch’. LST radiators are key where there is a need for special heat emitters that are ideal for safety critical environments – especially those that need to meet NHS Guidance for ‘Safe Hot Water and surface temperature’.
