- Specialist replacement doorsets
The unit needed its doors replaced following significant flood damage.
These weren’t standard openings. Doors around the X-ray areas had to provide radiation protection as well as the required fire performance, and patient privacy still had to be maintained.
Define a doorset that does more than one job.
Before anything could be ordered, each opening’s requirement had to be clear: fire performance, radiation protection and privacy, together.
- Clinical requirement
- Radiation protection
- Doorset response
- Lead-lined core
- Privacy requirement
- Integrated blinds
Specialist replacement doorsets installed.
JFD supplied and installed specialist PVC-wrapped doorsets, some incorporating lead-lined frames, architraves and associated components around the X-ray areas.
Specialist doorsets meeting radiation-protection and privacy requirements.
Installed while maintaining the required fire performance — the right doorset for the room, the building and the people using it.
