At an NHS Foundation Trust hospital in central London, ASSA ABLOY Security Doors, part of ASSA ABLOY UK has supplied cleanroom doors.
The door arm of ASSA ABLOY says that it worked with the hospital to specify doors, which would contribute towards hygiene, as well as providing security and access control. Powershield cleanroom steel doorsets were specified to reduce the development of surface bacteria and combat spread of infections at the hospital.
ASSA ABLOY Security Doors installed the doors in the new Central Sterile Services Department in the hospital over a period of two weeks. ASSA ABLOY cleanroom doors provide superior quality to meet the stringent requirements of cleanrooms, in accordance with ISO14644 cGMP and are fire certified for up to 60 minutes. ASSA ABLOY also installed ABLOY standard hardware and cleanroom glazed screens, with up to 60 minutes fire integrity.
Aaron Moffett, Quantity Surveyor at ASSA ABLOY Security Doors, said: “Cleanliness and hygiene within a hospital are usually only associated with practices, processes and apparatus, consequently the importance of doors can be overlooked. However, specifying the right door can be essential in providing protection against the build-up and transfer of dirt and contaminants. We installed Powershield steel cleanroom doors for St. Thomas’ Hospital, as the seamless finish to all leaf edges will ensure that the doors can be easily cleaned, so that they do not have areas where dirt can accumulate and bacteria can grow.”
And Rob Doubtfire, Managing Director at CFES Ltd said: “We worked with ASSA ABLOY Security Doors on another hospital project, so we knew that they would provide us with cost effective, high quality security solutions that would satisfy our eye for detail.”
