CORRIDORS REFRESHED
WITH YEOMAN SHIELD
WALL & DOOR PROTECTION
Following in the footsteps of a string of successful installations at
the Northern General Hospital, Sheffield, Yeoman Shield products
were again chosen as part of the refurbishment of the hospital’s
Firth C & D floor corridors.
With the need to refresh the interior walls and doors, as well as
future proof them from further damage and marking, a variety of
products from Yeoman Shield’s range were employed.
Corridor doors, which are on the frontline when it comes to impact
damage, were fitted out with Yeoman Shield Door Edge Protectors
and PVCu clad glazing beads, both in a graphite colour. Contrasting
Mid Grey Door Protection Panels were installed to both sides of the
doors with vulnerable architrave and framework also protected by
Yeoman Shield products.
This comprehensive, fire rated, door protection system will extend
the life cycle of expensive fire doors helping to keep them in good
working order.
Yeoman Shield Guardian Handrails in the same colour scheme were
fitted along the hospital passageways. Bespoke metal brackets
were manufactured by Yeoman Shield to implement the spanning
of the rail over pillars through out a glazed corridor.
Beneath the handrail 2mm thick FalmouthEx Wall Protection Panels
were fixed to offer low level protection. A cream colour was chosen
for the panels accompanied by Mid Grey Corner Protection Angles
to keep a light and airy feel to the scheme.
Pete Trenchard, who specified and project managed the scheme
on behalf of Sheffield Teaching Hospitals added “When carrying
out improvements and refurbishment of the corridors, in line with
the STH standard colour scheme and standard fit out, I was keen
to incorporate the Yeoman Shield range of products to achieve a
long-term solution.
“The specification of Yeoman Shield products on corridor walls,
vulnerable corners, doors, frames & architraves, protects the fabric
of the corridors without detracting from the visible aesthetic
appearance expected of a hospital environment.
“I worked closely with the Yeoman Shield team through the design
and specification phase, drawing on their expertise to find a cost-
effective fit for purpose solution. The site survey and installation
offered a start to finish package which has been contributory to the
successful and well received outcome of the project”.
