Comments Off on Handwash Basin & Taps For Schools

Designed  specifically for school and educational use, we have launched a range of School Hand Washing Packs that are complete ready to fit washing stations which are both water saving through the timed flow taps and anti-flooding  by combining an overflow basin with a free draining waste (something school pupils are keen to try for all the wrong reasons).
The new ‘Junior School’ packs feature special joystick operated taps which are very easily operated just by pushing or pulling the lever in any direction which makes them particularly ideal for the washrooms in nursery and infant schools where the pupils do not have the strength to operate normal taps.

 

 

NHS Estate Guidelines – Update To HTM64

Comments Off on NHS Estate Guidelines – Update To HTM64

To help cut through the mass of information, waffle and confusing jargon that seems to abound, we have written a number of articles that explains both the key issues involved in meeting hand hygiene compliance and the requirements for the correct equipment  (sanitary installations).

The latest article this month (November 2015) explains the  requirements for sanitary assemblies as set out by NHS Estates/Department of Health. It not only summarises key points but also has links to a number of useful government publications as further reference points:

GP Handwash Packs

Comments Off on GP Handwash Packs

Notjusttaps has just launched a range of  ‘GP handwash packs‘ .
Similar in concept to the dental sink packs, they are complete, ready to fit hand washing stations designed to suit the demands of GP practices whilst meeting the relevant standards (CQC &HTM64).
Each pack contains the ceramic basin, tap, waste fitting and spacesaving ‘anti-backflow’ trap and even comes with the correct strength wall fixings to ensure the basin is securely fitted.
The packs offer a choice of basin or wall fitted taps and each one offers the option of upgrading with the addition of Nofer wall mounted soap and paper towel dispensers.
Hopefully this means that there is one less thing for practice managers to worry about when undertaking a new build or refurbishment .

 

 

DDA Compliant Taps

Comments Off on DDA Compliant Taps

alp-MR67273CR

We are increasingly asked whether the healthcare taps that we supply are DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) compliant.
The requirement states that sanitary accommodation will satisfy requirements M1 or M3 of the act if ” any bath or washbasin tap is either controlled automatically or is capable of being operated using a closed fist eg by lever action”
The options are therefore to install infra red sensor taps or extended/elbow lever taps.
The introduction of  our new  Ability Lever Taps fully satisfies the acts requirements.
it is also stated that the needs of people with visual impairment should be considered and as such the use of high visibility graphics and the contrast between the lever colour and tap body provides useful visual contrast.
The Italian designed range which includes basin, bath & sink taps will be suitable for any public building looking to ensure their chosen brassware complies with the requirements of the disabilty discrimination act.

The use of copper finishes on bathroom products is very limited yet for the healthcare sector is particularly relevant as extensive research has shown that copper surfaces are the most effective surface for eliminating germs.
Tests show that not only is it far superior to chrome or steel, it is much more effective than Triclosan treated plastic with an ongoing efficacy of 99.9% bacterial elimination within 2 hours of exposure.
As the fight against bacterial infection becomes harder , any material that can aid the fight should be seriously considered.
To this end we now offer both copper medical handwashing taps and copper bathroom/shower grab bars for public washrooms and patient bathrooms.
Technical datasheets are available on request.
