CONSTRUCTION SPECIALITIES PROVIDE BESPOKE WALL PROTECTION BY THE KILOMETRE... WALLCOVERINGS
C onstruction Specialities’ Acrovyn Wall Protection is renowned for its quality, durability and wide range of uses. That versatility and quality is highlighted at the new wards at Altnagelvin Hospital where Acrovyn is now protecting interior walls from pedestrian and wheeled traffic damage, whilst offering an attractive look and feel for patients and staff. Farrans Construction required Construction Specialties to supply and install a vast quantity of internal wall protection, via their in-house installation team, Conspec Contracts. The installation included 1.2km of bespoke stainless-steel crash rail, 600 metres of Acrovyn wood effect handrails and countless Acrovyn crashrails, corner guards and sheets - creating a total protection package
for the hospital. The Acrovyn wood- effect handrails tied in perfectly with the wooden doors and door frames, offering the warm, non-institutional appearance of wood with the added durability of Acrovyn. “This was a huge job spread over three floors, says Project Manager, Gavin Scott. “The Stainless-Steel Crash Rail was fitted bespoke and, given stainless steel’s unforgiving nature, was a mammoth task for our team. “For each stainless-steel section, we had to measure and fold it to form an end cap that returns to the wall, making it look almost like a low-level handrail. There’s no changing it once it’s measured, folded and drilled so if anything goes wrong or is slightly out you have to remake it – so a very high degree of accuracy and precision was required from the team.”
With a highly experienced installation team and an expansive range of products to choose from, Construction Specialities was perfectly positioned to meet the unique protection requirements of Altnagelvin Hospital’s new wards.
