Mental Health and Healthcare

Mental Health and Healthcare facilities provide environments that offer a safe and secure place for mental health patients and staff. These facilities require bespoke solutions for patient and non-patient areas. To help achieve a medium secure facility anti-ligature and suicide prevention measures must be incorporated into the design of the window and door systems.

To meet complex requirements for strength, safety, light and ventilation, easy cleaning, patient operation and staff control - consideration should be given to the type of glass, frames, fixtures and fittings that will be used in the design and manufacture of these products. The fixtures and fittings should be able to withstand targeted abuse and should not pose a threat or a risk of self-harm if damaged.

In order to create a welcoming yet secure facility, windows can include features such as stainless-steel mesh which guard the open area offering secure ventilation, and internal sliding sashes made to open at fixed positions which can be controlled by staff.
