Vistamatic, a specialist glazed secure vision panel manufacturer, says one of its biggest challenges in the past decade has been the speed and degree with which the ‘landscape’ and environment for caring for mentally unwell patients have evolved.
The company said: “The way the mentally unwell are cared for has changed drastically, and, consequently, both the needs and expectations of mental healthcare facilities, and, in turn, the Vistamatic products developed to address them, have changed accordingly. “By working closely with leading architects and independent research bodies, we have developed a durable, flexible range of products, all available with an anti-ligature operating system, and adjustable to the specific needs of the institution. We also offer a full range of bespoke products. Our patented operating mechanism has been tested to in excess 300,000 cycles, which means we can offer a full lifetime warranty on all our products.” Among products shown will be a specially designed Vistamatic antiligature vision panel complete with stainless steel frame, and a soft-closing VistaGlide damping system designed to be smooth and silent.
