Contract interiors specialist Gradus has supplied SureProtect Pure hygienic wall cladding and Specialist Bathroom Products to BMI The Somerfield Hospital, to improve cleanliness and accessibility.
Based
in Maidstone, Kent, BMI The Somerfield Hospital is part of BMI
Healthcare, a leading provider of independent healthcare with a
nationwide network of hospitals. The hospital is registered for 38
beds in total and features three operating theatres, three minor
procedure rooms and a range of specialist clinics.
To help improve the hygiene levels and ease of access for such a diverse range of patients, Gradus refurbished the main outpatient’s WC on the ground floor. Products specified included SureProtect Pure wall cladding and Maxima Specialist Bathroom Products, which were supplied and fitted by an experienced team from Gradus Contracts.
SureProtect
Pure, was specified to ensure the bathroom remained easy to clean and
maintain, helping to reduce the need for frequent replacement and
contribute towards a hygienic environment. The smooth surface is
impervious to moisture and bacteria making it ideal for applications
that must adhere to rigorous hygiene standards, such as hospital
environments.
Maxima
products in Blue, including a Grab Rail and two Adjustable Support
Arms, were chosen to contrast with the White SureProtect Pure wall
cladding and to help ensure inclusive access to the WC. The
Specialist Bathroom Products specified have been designed to meet
guidelines in Approved Document M of the Building Regulation 2010.
Connie
Stocker, Executive Director at BMI The Somerfield Hospital, said: “We
chose to specify Gradus because of its years of experience in the
contract interior industry, and proven track record in providing safe
and secure solutions to the healthcare sector.
“As
we have a large number of people using our facilities everyday, we
required a solution that made our WC accessible to everyone visiting,
working or staying in the hospital, and so Gradus provided us with a
comprehensive range of Specialist Bathroom Products to meet our
needs.”
Anna
Conrad-Smith, Marketing Product Manager at Gradus, commented: “In
addition to The Maxima Range, Gradus SureProtect Pure wall cladding
is an excellent choice for hospital environments. The smooth, easy to
clean surface is also extremely durable and resistant to impact
damage, which helps to maintain hygiene standards and reduce ongoing
repair and maintenance costs.
“This
project demonstrates our commitment to creating safe and accessible
buildings without compromising on the aesthetics of the building.”
