EMERGENCY SERVICE FROM


GRADUS Contract interiors specialists, Gradus, have supplied a comprehensive range of wall protection systems, stair edgings and carpet to the first purpose-built specialist emergency care hospital of its kind in England.


Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital cares for seriously ill or injured patients from across Northumberland and North Tyneside and has emergency care consultants on site 24/7.


Approximately 250 linear metres of Gradus stair edgings have been fitted on every main and escape staircase, while carpet tiles have also been installed throughout the offices.


Gradus’ Stratus II carpet tiles in Jet Stream (grey) have been installed in the offices at the hospital and Gradus’ RXT351 PVC-u hardnose stair edgings in granite (grey), with Xtra- grip inserts in rock (grey), have also been installed to help minimise the risk of slips, trips and falls on staircases in line with the guidelines in BS 8300:2009+A1:2010 and Approved Document M of The Building Regulations 2010.


PVC-u hardnose stair edgings comprise coloured PVC-u channels and matching slip-resistant pvc inserts. The hospital chose Xtra-grip inserts which offer slip resistance in environments where there is a risk of the stair edgings becoming wet from either spillage or tracked in moisture, for example steps close to entrances, near canteens or food/vending areas.


Combined, these specialist interior products are designed to offer guidance and support to both patients and staff, whilst also offering protection against damage caused by wheeled traffic such as trolleys and wheelchairs in corridors and walkways.


Paul Brayson, Project Director at Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, said: “The very nature of this facility means that the products installed need to withstand heavy wear and tear.


“Gradus have provided a range of high quality products to help us create a safe and inclusive environment for our patients, whilst also helping to reduce maintenance costs.”
