Whilst Vertical radiators offer the space-saving advantages that standard LSTs perhaps do not, the standard grilles do pose a ligature risk. This is particularly important to note when working in mental health, challenging and secure environments where service users are vulnerable to self-harming tendencies.
With its 2mm holes at 4mm centres punched directly into the radiator guard, the risk of users securing rope or cord around an anchor point is greatly reduced.
Contour’s Vertical Anti-ligature radiator incorporates BioCote® Antimicrobial Protection to ensure safety standards for hygiene are met. The presence of the Antimicrobial Protection offers a 99.99% reduction in bacteria levels in under 2 hours.
Contour have developed two designs of casing for the vertical range:
Sloping Top
The sloping top design allows for a vertical radiator to be installed where there is not enough width for a conventional radiator. The sloping top design utilises all of the features of the DeepClean Extra design, with additional strengthening struts on the cover's front face to help cope with demanding environments.
This design is best suited where the pipework is entering from below the radiator or at low level.
