Safety, Security & Fire Protection
Hospital Installs Yeoman Shield
to Help Maintain Fire Doors
Stockport NHS Trust runs both
community NHS services and Stepping
Hill Hospital, which serves people across
the areas of Stockport and the High Peak.
With the responsibility of the safety and
comfort of so many patients and staff,
it is important that the trust maintain a
high-quality standard within the built
environment.
When fire doors in the ground floor
corridor of the hospital were identified
as having minor damage to edges and
panels, the trust engaged with Yeoman
Shield to provide a solution to stop the
damage from becoming a major concern.
Left unchecked this type of impairment
can lead to the non-conformity and
malfunction of a fire door. Door faces were fitted with Yeoman Shield
2mm thick FalmouthEx protection panels,
to guard against impact damage mainly
caused by the movement of wheeled and
motorised trolleys.
Yeoman Shield supplied and installed
fire rated FD30 Door Edge Protectors to
the leading and hinged edges of double
swing door sets along the corridor. Now that the hospital’s fire doors have
Yeoman Shield protection fitted, the
life cycle of the doors will be extended,
avoiding the costly task of replacing them.
