A complete wall protection package from Gradus has been installed at the 3Ts development (Trauma, Teaching and Tertiary care) for the Royal Sussex County Hospital. The project, planned in three stages, comprises of the replacement of the buildings to the front half of the Royal Sussex County Hospital. In their place will be two brand new clinical buildings and a much-needed service and logistics yard.
Gradus SureProtect Endure® wall cladding in Chalk was installed in circulation corridors and equipment bays, to help reduce the need to repair and re-paint wall surfaces, as well as minimising the overall long term maintenance requirements and optimising the appearance retention of the building interior. It is commonly specified in environments exposed to high levels of pedestrian traffic such as corridors and circulation areas, canteens, classrooms and waiting areas. It is the ideal solution for healthcare environments as its easy-to-clean surface makes it perfect for areas that require both a hard wearing and hygienic solution.
Timber Handrails were installed in the stairway and corridors in Oak. Gradus Timber Handrails are designed to offer pedestrian guidance and support whilst providing a comfortable, safe grip that is not cold to the touch. Furthermore, the Oak handrails are produced from verified, legal and sustainable sources in line with Approved Document M, BS8300:2009 and HBN00-04 guidelines, helping the RSCH to meet its duties under the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA).
In addition, SureProtect Endure® Wall and Corner Guards in colour Chalk were also used to protect various areas within the hospital against damage from wheeled equipment.
