Securistyle, the well established manufacturer of quality, innovative hardware for the window and door industries, was specified for the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital development in Birmingham, among other prestigious projects including Peterborough Hospital and Exeter University’s MDRC building.
The company’s Parallel Hinge System was chosen for its ventilation properties but also because it allows the aesthetics of the reflective design to be maintained, even when the windows are open.
Ken Evans, National Specification Manager at Securistyle explains: “Our Parallel Hinge System is proving popular in many different applications but schools and hospitals particularly favour them because they allow natural ventilation through an open window, without the risk of any occupants of the building falling. The hinge is manufactured from high grade 304 austenitic stainless steel for strength and excellent corrosion resistance.
“We’re thrilled our Parallel Hinge is being used in so many projects like the state of the art Queen Elizabeth University Hospital building. This particular project took 8 years to plan and complete at a total cost of £545m and included 30 operating theatres and 1,213 beds spread across smaller wards and single rooms to help reduce or even eliminate superbug infections.
“Securistyle is a name synonymous with expert knowledge, quality design and outstanding performance and we offer unique and innovative products that deliver exactly what the end user needs. For hospitals and schools this often means a safer and greener solution, which is precisely what the Parallel Hinge provides.”
