How ADSF UK LTD helped Upham Medical Centre provide easy access which complies with the regulations set out by the DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) to bring more natural lighting into the medical centre, create a welcoming entrance for the users and reduce maintenance costs and energy bills.
Automatic Doors Situation:
Upham Medical Centre is home to approximately 16,200 registered patients and is located in the town centre. With ever increasing patients using the medical centre on a daily basis and its capacity to hold additional classes and group meetings in the evenings, Upham Medical centre was looking to update the aluminium entrance doors as part of a planned renovation. They wanted the medical teams, administrators and patients to have more confidence and pride in the centre and also to create an entrance that would bring more natural lighting into the centre.
The medical centre has a duty to ensure the employees, patients and visitors are as safe as possible and wanted a system of swing doors, automatic doors and screens that would cope with the heavy footfall into the medical centre on a daily basis.
Upham Medical Centre had strict protocols for having contractors working on the premises including hours of work, health and safety and noise levels. It is therefore extremely important that these rules were adhered to.
Automatic Doors Solution:
In order to fully meet the requirements of Upham Medical Centre ADSF UK LTD supplied and installed various aluminium entrance screens and doors. The entrance screens were designed to look modern and were manufactured to be highly durable to withstand the knocks and daily punishment of many hundreds of patients and visitors passing through the automatic doors every day.
By using toughened glass in the frames around the automatic doors and other non-automatic door entrances within the premises, the Medical Centre was able to be well lit creating a comfortable environment from the natural light penetrating the building. The toughened glass ensured that accidents were prevented and the patients, visitors and medical staff were kept safe at all times. The highly experienced installation crew employed by ADSF UK LTD followed the protocol set out by the Medical Centre at all times and managed to get the work completed with the minimum of fuss.
Upham Medical Centre Outcome:
By utilizing as much of the space with clear toughened glass as possible, the entrance way also became a huge elegant window and enabled the medical centre to be a much brighter friendlier place. This also helped to significantly reduce its lighting bills as the lights did not have to be turned on in many rooms of the medical centre until much later in the day. The tough durable materials used means that there is a greatly reduced chance of damage to the doors and entrance screens as they are designed for heavy daily pedestrian use. This also meant that the medical centre saw a reduction in maintenance costs due to the long lasting and robust system.
The swing doors will automatically swing closed behind themselves directly after an individual has passed through them, ensuring that noise and dust pollution are kept at bay and the awful rain and wind that we experience in this country cannot penetrate the tight seals on the automatic doors. This will significantly reduce the heating bills within the medical centre as the expensive and precious heat is retained inside the premises. The sun will still be able to get into the building and help to keep it bright and warm.
