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.
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.
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. “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”.
Pete Trenchard, who specified and project managed the scheme
on behalf of Sheffield Teaching Hospitals added “When carrying
