Lower risk heating solution installed

HCP has supplied and installed 230 linear metres of its Dutch fold anti-ligature radiant heating panels to a new-build ProCure21 mental health unit at Barnet Hospital.

A gasket was installed between the slightly undulating plasterboard ceiling and the precision-engineered aluminum radiant heating panels to alleviate the differences in tolerances between the two surfaces.

The panels are thus mounted flush with the ceiling plane, significantly reducing opportunities to locate a ligature point. The panels’ installation at high level frees up wall and floor space, leads to greater flexibility in terms of room layouts, and maximises the use of available space. Their flat polyester powder-coated surface is durable and easy to clean, while an optional antibacterial finish is also available.

HCP says radiant heating panels are among the most comfortable and energyefficient forms of heating available, with outputs in the region of 480 to 500 W/m2.

Manufactured from aluminium and copper, they are quick to install, spacesaving, low maintenance and fully recyclable.
