SELECTAGLAZE SECONDARY GLAZING FOR HEALTHCARE
Controlling the environment within hospitals to stop the spread of disease and infection is very important . Selectaglaze secondary glazing creates an excellent barrier to help prevent this and has a wide range of healthcare products ; from switchable glass , anti-ligature furniture and units that are Secured by Design accredited .
Many hospital buildings of traditional construction have ill-fitting windows which are not only draughty and poorly insulating but admit dirt and dust from outside leading to problems of cleanliness and discomfort .
Secondary glazing with high performance seals can block the dirt and draughts and when glazed with a thermally efficient low emissivity glass will reduce U-values across the window to less than 1.9 , a reduction of up to 65 % against a single glazed metal window . This will create cleaner , warmer surroundings for recuperation , as well as help reduce energy consumption .
Selectaglaze secondary glazing not only creates a warmer environment but achieves very high levels of sound insulation . The speed of patient rehabilitation is important , with sleep playing a major part in the healing process .
Selectaglaze secondary glazing systems can reduce noise levels by 42-45dB with standard glass and even higher levels achieved with thicker glass .
Besides environmental improvements , Selectaglaze secondary glazing also helps with secure environments such as mental health units where there is a need to protect patients from self-harm . Also , pharmacies and laboratories where sensitive or dangerous materials are stored and used can benefit from secondary glazing , as well as data centres where patient information is kept . A range of products tested to PAS 24 and Loss Prevention Standard LPS1175 are available .
