ironmongery for the health sector

Laidlaw is an award winning supplier to the healthcare sector and ideally placed in supplying components to this environment. Our ironmongery displays a number of key features and boasts an extensive choice specifically suited to your application.

Performance
We have a comprehensive range of WC and washroom fittings and these are designed specifically to support a disabled user, meeting building regulations but also accommodating patient needs within the healthcare environment. Our ranges of ironmongery have been designed to satisfy all the latest European Standards and legislation including BS 8300. We have a range of lever and pull handle furniture designed to conform to the regulations outlined in the BS 8300 recommendations. Our choice of solid nylon ironmongery enables high levels of colour contrast on doors for ease of visibility. At Laidlaw, we can provide full technical support on all accessibility issues including LRV measurements for colour contrast.

Anti-ligature
For applications in the mental health environment, our more specialist anti-ligature hardware is available. Laidlaw sympathetic designs include soft, rounded shapes that reduce ligature points in a room. The purpose of anti-ligature ironmongery is to deny individuals the opportunity to use the hardware as a means of attaching a ligature for the purpose of inflicting harm to themselves or others.

Antibacterial
We have a wide range of robust stainless steel, aluminium and nylon hardware that can be fitted to doorsets with an option of anti-bacterial treatments applied to components. This anti-bacterial treatment provides long term protection against the spread of infections, ideally suited to healthcare settings where a high level of cleanliness is vitally important.  

Signage
We can supply all internal and external signage to a healthcare building to provide easy navigation between departments and wards in the hospital environment. Our braille and tactile signage service can cater to the needs of disabled users within a healthcare setting.

Access Solutions
As part of our offering we also provide a wide range of access solutions – these can provide security, safety and convenience in a healthcare setting. The product guidance BS 8300 is based on ease of access including full or partial automatic door solutions, mechanical and electronic access control including the integration of building management such as CCTV monitoring. We also have a number of solutions that include full automatic and power assisted door controls available for new or existing doorways. The proximity of hands-free access control is particularly beneficial to blind or partially sighted users.
