Pilkington Pyrostop' glass has been used to give high performance fire resistance and aesthetic appeal to the construction of Swindon's new £100 million Private Finance Initiative hospital.
For use in fire doors, it is ideal for clean room areas and hospitals where privacy and hygiene are of paramount importance.
Slimblind is the first hermetically sealed Venetian blind system to achieve fire ratings on timber doors in the UK and Ireland.
The unit can be supplied with 7mm Pilkington Pyrodur Plus for fire-rated applications up to 30 minutes and will shortly be available with 10mm Pilkington Pyrodur for fire-rated applications up to 60 minutes.
The Pilkington Optifloat T toughened glass pane may be tinted in Grey, Green, Bronze or also be replaced by Pilkington Arctic Blue.
The blinds are encased within the glass to produce a hygienic, maintenance-free system that prevents the build up of moisture, condensation and dirt.
Operated by a magnetic knurled dial, the blinds provide privacy and preserve confidentiality or security in hospitals, clinics, clean room areas, research labs, offices, schools and banks.
Slimblind is a complete system which is quick and simple to install in all kinds of doors or side-panels.
The assembly for fire doors is supplied with a choice of steel or stainless steel frame trims and the appropriate intumescent glazing tape and aperture liner.
Stocked in eight popular sizes, Slimblind is available in a range of sizes from 406mm x 406mm to 762mm x 1829mm (width by height), frame colours to co-ordinate with decor or corporate branding.
