Contour Casings has recently supplied 115 DeepClean LST Radiator Guards as part of a major BIM designed refurbishment project at Hinchingbrooke Hospital in Cambridgeshire.

Ease of cleaning, hygienic radiator cover designs and access to BIM models made Contour DeepClean radiator covers the perfect choice for this prestigious contract. The DeepClean LST radiator covers were fitted across the ground and first floors including the main corridor areas. Each unit was bespoke-designed and detailed to cover existing radiators. The guards were installed quickly and without disruption to building users thanks to the one-piece design of the casing and pre-fabricated cut-outs for pipework, flooring and skirting.

Incorporating BioCote® anti-microbial technology, Contour radiator guards are proven to significantly reduce bacteria compared to untreated alternatives. This natural silver-based additive reduces levels of harmful bacteria and infection such as E.coli, MRSA and H1N1 by up to 99.99% over a 2hr period.

The designing architect, Ian Morrison from Martindales Architects said “We are using BIM workflows throughout our healthcare portfolio with particular reference to Hinchingbrooke Hospital, Huntingdon. BIM gives us the ability to have a central information model containing not only the drawn information, but also all the schedules and data necessary for the complexities of the healthcare environment".
