SHEFFIELD CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL
Trust: Sheffield Children's NHS Foundation Trust
Project type: Major refurbishment / New build
Architect: Avanti Architects
Products supplied: Integral finger guards (Alumax)
Seamlessly blending in with the environment
With children and their families arriving at the hospital through a light-filled atrium, the architects continued this homely and friendly feel throughout the rest of the hospital. Our finger guards helped to achieve this.
- Designed to blend seamlessly into any environment, they are almost invisible to the eye, helping to create a normal environment for children
- Meeting the Trust’s requirements to create bright and colourful areas for children, they powder coated our integral finger guards in a range of RAL colours
Offering superior safety and practicality
Designed specifically with children in mind, the Trust needed to ensure safety and practicality on a day-to-day basis.
Designing out the problem of trapped fingers by removing the dangerous gap between door and frame, our integral finger guards made it almost impossible for a child to trap their fingers in the door
Lasting the lifetime of the door, they provide practicality for this high traffic environment, removing the need for regular replacements and saving the Trust £500-£1,000 over the door’s life.
