Specialist Door Solutions has released a guide for healthcare estate managers, architects and contractors that positions Post-formed Doorsets as a strategic investment for creating safer, more efficient, and sustainable healthcare facilities.
SDS Strategic Partnership Director, Russell James said: “Doors are an unseen protector in our hospitals. Thousands of patients, staff and visitors pass through them each day without a second thought, yet the right choice of doorset has an impact on infection prevention and control, fire safety and healthcare efficiency.
“The challenge for those working in the design, construction and maintenance of healthcare facilities is understanding the long term implications and potential benefits the right doorset can have.”
This white paper serves as a comprehensive guide for healthcare professionals involved in selecting doorsets, combining analysis, expert insight and invaluable best practice guidance.
Readers can benefit from:
- Expert insights into how doorset selection impacts healthcare efficiency, hygiene and safety.
- An in-depth comparison of Post-formed Doorsets with alternative timber-based options.
- Guidance on real-world cost savings born from lifecycle cost analysis.
- A breakdown of best practices for successful healthcare facility installations.
- A selection of case studies that show the benefits of post formed doorsets in practice.
As well as discussing the benefits of Post-formed Doorsets, the guide explores the risks of making an uninformed choice of door in a hospital environment. An independent survey by the Fire Door Inspection Scheme in 2022 suggests that three quarters of fire doors in public buildings didn’t meet their required standard.
Russell continued: “The impact of a doorset in a healthcare setting is significant and wide reaching. We have published this paper to help clarify the many considerations in choosing doorsets that ensure confidence in performance while meeting stringent UK healthcare standards and fire safety regulations.
“We believe this is an essential resource for those working in the healthcare sector and seeking to improve operational efficiencies without compromising safety or compliance.”
