Round-the-clock protection


Pointing out that healthcare- associated infections (HCAIs) resulting from medical care or treatment in hospitals, nursing homes, or even patients’ own homes, are estimated to cost the NHS approximately £1 billion, Biomaster will exhibit its ‘antimicrobial additive technology for hygiene-critical environments’. The company added: “In March


2012, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) estimated that 300,000 patients a year in England alone acquired an HCAI as a result of care within the NHS.” Biomaster is a range of silver-based


antimicrobial technologies, built in during manufacture, that ‘prevent the growth of bacteria for its lifetime’. Using Biomaster-protected products in healthcare settings reportedly provides ‘round-the-clock protection’ against build-up of harmful bacteria, such as MRSA, E. coli, and Legionella. The technology is used globally in products ranging from beds, cubicle curtains, wall and ceiling paints, to floors and door handles.

Shedding light on carbon-cutting


Thorlux Lighting says customers can potentially reduce their energy costs by 75 per cent by using its luminaires and lighting control systems. The British-owned lighting company,


which has produced luminaires in the WestMidlands for 77 years, will showcase examples fromits ‘Healthcare- specific’ fittings range, including new products ‘designed explicitly’ for mental healthcare environments. The company claims to be ‘at the


forefront of LED technology’, with ‘market-leading luminaire efficiencies’, enabling those organisations it supplies to achieve ‘maximumenergy savings, withminimumongoingmaintenance’, and ‘a proven return on investment’. At BirminghamCity Hospital, for example, it provided the design for, and oversaw the correct selection of, luminaires and controls to enable an 87% reduction in energy and associated carbon emissions.

103 Standard to specialist fenestration


Fendor claims to have firmly established itself as the ‘go-to market leader’ in specialist fenestration products, having secured work in the refurbishment of all four UK high secure mental health hospitals, and ‘countless’ medium and low secure units. With a large portfolio of bespoke


window solutions, and secure curtain walling and doors, the company is, it acknowledges, ‘perhaps less well known within healthcare’ for its standard commercial and fire glazing businesses. Director, Sue Fortune-Duffy, explained:


“The successful launch of our SlideVent and CleanVent windows for high and medium secure applications, and our unique Home Office-approved custodial range, has meant that we are largely


perceived as a specialist manufacturer, but most of our business is actually in standard commercial glazing systems, comprising ‘ordinary’ windows, doors, and screens. For estates teams seeking a quality solution for a general hospital project, Fendor offers Europe’s most thermally efficient, cost-effective systems.”
