Architectural Aluminium for Healthcare Applications
Polar has recently been successfully growing its services in the design and installation of aluminium doors (including automatic doors), windows and curtain walling in hospitals and health centres alongside major contractors such as Laing O’Rourke.
The major projects completed to date have involved successful refurbishment work and new build schemes for sites including the Royal Victoria Infirmary and world famous Freeman Hospital in Newcastle and a number of health centres in Northern England.
Further examples of our tailored approach to projects and the ability to provide an innovative solution for our healthcare clients include the development of a unique type of ‘anti-ligature’ window for St. Lukes Hospital, Middlesbrough that can be installed in a number of options.
Healthcare projects benefit from Polar’s specific experience of the requirements of the healthcare industry and ability to complete projects on time and on budget. They also benefit from our business development, production and installation staff working together as one team. Business development staff are careful not to overcommit in order to minimise the likelihood of any delays to construction. The production and planning teams never stop looking for ways to improve the quality and efficiency of the installation.
As John Wilson, MD of Polar confirms ‘There will always be new ways of working to continually improve the production process. We never stop learning. The secret to efficient on-site achievement in hospitals and health centres is getting things right first time through planning and being aware of what happens at every stage of the installation process’.
