PROJECT REPORT: HEALTHCARE BUILDINGS
Protecting Healthcare Environments H
ealthcare facilities are among the most demanding buildings to maintain. High levels of foot
traffi c, the constant movement of beds, trolleys and medical equipment, combined with rigorous cleaning routines, place huge pressure on interior walls and doors. Without adequate protection, surfaces quickly become damaged, creating unnecessary repair costs and disruption. Yeoman Shield provides durable wall and door protection systems specifi cally developed to meet these challenges. From impact-resistant wall protection, handrails,
bed heads and corner guards to robust door protection panels, our products are designed to reduce damage, extend the life cycle of building fabric and support hygiene standards. This not only helps control maintenance budgets but also ensures hospital and care environments remain safe and welcoming.
Fire safety is another critical consideration. Fire doors play a vital role in containing fi re and smoke, giving staff and patients the time needed to evacuate safely. Through our accredited Fire Door Services, Yeoman Shield delivers inspection, maintenance and remedial work to keep doors compliant and fully operational, avoiding costly replacements while ensuring legal obligations are met. To complement our protection and fi re safety solutions, Yeoman Shield also offers a complete installation service, delivered by our experienced in-house team. This ensures every project is fi tted to the highest standards, with
minimal disruption to healthcare
operations. Our full turn-key service means clients benefi t from a seamless process – from consultation and specifi cation through
to installation, inspection and aftercare – providing confi dence that every detail is taken care of. With decades of experience working alongside NHS Trusts and private healthcare providers, Yeoman Shield is trusted to deliver long-lasting,
practical solutions
that protect both buildings and budgets, allowing healthcare organisations to focus on providing exceptional patient care.

Family Hub chooses Style again for folding partitioning wall
Christchurch Family Hub provides essential, early support for local families. In 2003, Style installed a folding wall with pass-door to enable the Hub to divide its main activity and family room into two separate areas, as and when needed. 22 years on and Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP) Council again contacted Style, this time to replace the old wall with a modern system with enhanced operation and improved acoustics. Finished in a beech laminate, the new Dorma Huppe Varifl ex moveable wall is smooth and lightweight to manoeuvre, allowing the space to be easily opened up, or divided into two rooms, many times a day. If preferred, the dividing wall can be left in place for extended periods thanks to an integrated pass-door and, with a 49 dB acoustic rating, activities can comfortably take place either side of the wall undisturbed. The Varifl ex system installed the Christchurch Family Hub brings improved acoustics and the latest operational features. One such benefi t that is particularly relevant for this busy activity centre, is that the Varifl ex panels are manufactured separately to frame.
