A new anti-climb bullnose fascia system – ‘particularly suitable for hospitals, clinics, and secure facility environments’ – and designed to protect rooflines from unauthorised access and vandalism, is now available from Contour.
The company said: “The anti-climb bullnose fascia delivers perfectly in both form and function. An elegant design provides a contemporary finish to a building exterior, while fulfilling the core objective of providing a virtually unscaleable roofline.”
Key features include the fascia’s ability ‘to work in conjunction with almost any guttering system’, its suitability for both new build and renovation projects, a heavy duty integrated internal framework, and main bullnose panels manufactured from 3 mm thick pressed and rolled aluminium alloy. For environments at high risk of abuse or damage, mild steel or stainless steel versions are available. An integrated box gutter and downpipe complete the system.
The photo shows an anti-climb fascia at Dorothy Pattison Hospital, Walsall, which provides inpatient services and healthbased places of safety. To ensure that it complied fully with its duty of care, the hospital installed an anti-climb solution on a building overlooking an open air rest area to ensure that the roofline remained secure.
