We hope the information provided here is of some use to you. If you require any
further information or advice please do not hesitate to contact us. Cleaning &
Maintenance Due to the SafeVent windows unique and simple design it requires
very little maintenance. The rollers can benefit from a squirt of lube every few
months and the frames drainage holes should be checked to make sure they are all
clear. That’s it!! There are no locks or fiddly moving parts, no hinges or
complicated handles and none of the springs and pulleys you get from a vertical
slider. SafeVent has less maintenance therefore less expense. It is that simple.
Cleaning Advice. We provide a full fitting service for any project size. From a
single window, to a full Hospital complex, we will provide the management and
fitting crews to carry out your installation with as little disruption as
possible. Our workforce has experience of working in live secure hospitals. They
are all aware of their responsibilities with regards to tool safety, waste
materials and final checks on every window and room. You will find our staff
pleasant, helpful and willing to accommodate any special requirements you may
have. We plan every job thoroughly with all interested parties to make sure the
staff and patients are not unnecessarily inconvenienced. Various Options
Although by far the most affordable frame option for the SafeVent window is
UPVC, it is also available in aluminium and wood. In UPVC it is available in any
colour you require. It can also have a different inside colour from the outside
e.g. white inside / blue outside. This is also true of our aluminium frames. The
wooden frames are installed primed for painting or stained. We can also provide
a Non-mesh SafeVent with restricted openings if required. The restrictors may be
removed by staff to provide wide open windows onto a ground floor secured area
if appropriate. The same restrictor blocks can be fitted by staff at any time to
a meshed SafeVent to fix it closed, fix it open or to restrict the opening
should the need arise to stop a patient from controlling their window. If you
require it, any SafeVent window can be fitted with solar control glass. This may
be appropriate for south facing elevations, and does not affect the original
make up of the glass unit (it is still self-cleaning). The SafeVent window can
be incorporated into curtain walling. Integrated blinds can be installed with a
different glass specification. The stainless steel mesh can be supplied in two
main options. These are 2mm holes on a 3mm matrix (giving 40% open area) or 3mm
holes on a 4mm matrix (giving a 51% open area). Using 1.5mm thick stainless
steel (a table knife blade) they are both equally strong. The stainless steel
mesh is powder coated black as standard, but can be coated any colour required.
The SafeVent Window has no maximum size. The patient, as you may imagine, gets a
truer sense of freedom and control from being able to push a window wide open
allowing the fresh air and sound into their room. This contrasts starkly with
100mm restricted openings, trickle vents or worst of all mechanical ventilation.
The mesh has another big benefit, it is a very effective fly screen. On a
summers day your patients can push the window fully open and remain unmolested
by gnats, flies, bees or wasps. In short, with the BRITplas SafeVent window, you
get an anti-ligature window that prevents escape, prevents the passing of
contraband, prevents the littering of outside areas, allows high levels of
natural light and ventilation and does not require keys or staff supervision for
the patient to operate it.
Features and Benefits The BRITplas SafeVent window
has an in line horizontal sliding action allowing up to 50% of the window area
to open without the need for hinges, locking points, levers or handles that can
create ligature points. It has an easy sliding action so that the vast majority
of patients, even the very frail, can use it. This also helps if anyone should
try to close the window to trap a ligature (front or back), once pressure is
applied, the window pulls open. (This was tested and found to be the case by
Gloucestershire NHS Trust). The SafeVent’s open area is covered with a sheet of
stainless steel punched with holes to make a mesh. Although, in description,
this sounds austere it is actually surprisingly discrete. The mesh obviously
prevents escape, but also stops the passing of contraband while allowing fresh
air along with natural sound and light to enter the room. Since fitting the
SafeVent into working hospitals we have been told that the mesh also prevents
the dropping of objects and waste onto the grounds of the hospital, saving hours
of cleaning up every week (not to mention expense). The SafeVents standard
glazing comprises of a 10mm toughened sheet to the inside of the room, a 10mm
air gap (Argon filled for insulation) and an 8.4mm laminated section to the
outside. The 10mm toughened glass can withstand a great deal of punishment
without breaking. The 8.4 laminated would also take a lot of punishment but
would break before the 10mm. However once broken the 8.4mm holds together on a
sheet of poly bonding (much like a car windscreen), this helps to prevent
escape. With this in mind we chose to position the 10mm toughened glass inside
for extra strength, reducing the amount of broken units. Then, for the
determined and persistent patient that manages to break the 10mm, the 8.4mm
laminated (although it may crack) will prove a daunting impediment to escape.
All of our SafeVent units have self-cleaning glass as standard. This glazing
unit complies with the Document ‘L’ guidelines with regards to ‘U’ values. If
you have a preferred Glazing option or any specific requirements, we will be
able to accommodate your needs. The SafeVent Window was developed after BRITplas
was approached by Laing O’Rourke to provide a window solution for a project they
were contracted to build. This was Rathbone LSU for Merseycare NHS Trust.Laing
O’Rourke had approached in excess of twenty other window companies. None of them
could provide a window that could cope with the range of difficulties faced by
such an important fixture of a secure mental health hospital. After a meeting
with their project manager and design manager Kevin Gorman came up with the
SafeVent window. Within a few weeks we had a prototype made up and delivered to
Ashworth Hospital for a meeting that was to take place with patients and staff.
The window was demonstrated to them and received praise from all quarters. It
was then agreed that a window should be installed at Ashworth, and a rigorous
test should take place witnessed by all interested parties. The window was
attacked vigorously by patients and staff. They kicked, barged, pushed and
pulled every component of the window. They then used various objects that may be
found around the hospital. Snooker balls, snooker cues, knives, televisions,
chairs etc… The SafeVent window passed with flying colours and an order was
placed for Rathbone hospital. In the few months since the SafeVent system has
been installed at Rathbone LSU (2006) we have received orders from all over the
country. The SafeVent window has now been installed by five different NHS Trusts
and two private mental care hospitals.* SafeVent has the unique ability to
provide maximum levels of natural light and ventilation without the need for
staff supervision. * Situation as at February 2007. Home | Windows | Doors |
