Leaderflush Shapland - Plasform Health

Hygieniform is available in a wide range of standard colours as depicted in facing options and can complement any interior design theme.

Hygienilac® is also being added to Leaderflush Shapland's powder-coated aluminium and stainless steel Architectural Hardware products to provide an extremely durable finish with long-lasting antibacterial properties.

Guidance in the NHS document HFN (Health Facilities Note) 30 - Infection Control in the Built Environment - calls for smooth, hard impervious surfaces which are easy to clean and durable. The 'softer' radiused edges of Plasform® contribute to user-safety whilst being low maintenance and tough enough to withstand the rough and tumble of the busiest hospital. Ledges, recesses and right angles, where dust particles can be trapped, are avoided to allow ease of cleaning. The value of the distinctive postformed profile of Plasform® is also recognised in the NHS guidance document HTM (Health Technical Memorandum) 69 - Protection - for its part in protecting door edges in healthcare environments.

This all adds up to a complete, hygienic solution covering all aspects of the doorset for all the areas that are important for infection control - door frame, door leaf, door handles and push plates.

The high performing Plasform® doorset solution is suitable for the most demanding situations including surgery suites, pathology labs and pharmacies and can also satisfy a wide range of technical requirements including X-ray protection, fire resistance, smoke containment and impressive sound reduction.

Providing a comfortable and therapeutic environment for patients which is both flexible and adaptable whilst meeting a range of complex technological requirements makes healthcare one of the most challenging areas for the building industry. The Plasform® range of doorsets with its unique combination of attributes is the ideal choice to meet the demands of today's health sector and Leaderflush Shapland boasts a long history of success in this area having manufactured nearly 40,000 doorsets for more than 300 healthcare projects in the last 12 months.
