ALTRO IS AT THE BIRTH OF A NEW REVOLUTION
An extensive Altro flooring
and walling solution
is helping to provide a
beautiful, safe, homely and
calm environment for new
mothers and their babies
at a revolutionary new
Maternity Delivery Suite at
the Royal Cornwall Hospital.
The facility, comprising
nine birthing rooms, has
been created to ensure
mothers, babies and families have a home-from-home experience, but in a
clinical and psychologically safe environment. A hospital setting, but without the
hospital feel.
The major transformation was a close collaboration between sta in the
Maternity Department, Altro and Eden Flooring. Zoe Nelson, Acute Maternity
Matron at the hospital, was at the forefront of the new venture. She said: “The old
Delivery Suite hadn’t been upgraded for at least 25 years, so we were delighted
when budget became available to bring it up to date with a refurbishment.”
A key part of the selection of Altro products were their proven clinical
credentials. Safety, hygiene and practicality were paramount. Zoe added: “As
well as visually stunning, and giving us some superb colour and style options,
it was recommended that Altro products would be ideal for this environment
because they are safe, robust and easy to keep clean — all vital factors.”
The Altro products used in the new Delivery Suite were: Altro Wood and Altro
Pisces flooring; Altro Fortis wall protection; Altro Whiterock Satins and Altro
Whiterock Digiclad wall sheet.

ASSA ABLOY DOOR GROUP RECOMMENDS
FIRE DOOR INSPECTIONS AHEAD OF THE
BUILDING SAFETY BILL
ASSA ABLOY Door Group, a unit of
ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions
UK & Ireland, is encouraging
landlords and building managers
to take a more proactive role
towards fire door inspections,
in support of the dra« Building
Safety Bill.
The new Bill will introduce
the concept of an “Accountable
Person” and a Building Safety Manager (BSM) for each residential building.
One of the largest roles of the BSM and “Accountable Person” will be to ensure
maintenance and repairs are always up to date and up to standard.
Fire doors are one of the most important safety features in a building, and
regular inspections are essential to fully ensure health and safety measures are
met in both residential and commercial properties.
As part of its commitment to fire door safety, Door Group provide a fully
comprehensive inspection which can be carried out every three, four, six or 12
months to suit specific requirements.
In response to the ongoing challenges and needs in the industry, ASSA ABLOY
has also continued with substantial testing and standardising of its door closers.
As a result, its door closers have demonstrated that use on metal fire doors is
not restricted by the side of the door to which it is required to be installed and
remains fully compliant with EN1634 on any uninsulated metal fire door.
