Both patient safety and infection control share equal importance when considering doors within high hygiene areas in healthcare projects, probably more so now than ever before. Which is why Dortek continue to develop our Healthcare door product range with these key factors in mind.

So, what do we mean by healthcare doors?

These are hospital doors which can include ICU doors, Isolation Room doors, X-Ray Theatre doors and Operating Theatre doors. Doors are used throughout a hospital by staff, patients and visitors, meaning they offer a much greater risk of spreading viruses and HAIs (hospital acquired infections) if incorrectly specified. We have a range of healthcare doors including hinged and sliding, fire rated and non-fire rated, timber-free and glass, standard and hermetic, all designed to minimise the spread of germs and HAIs. We can even offer antimicrobial ironmongery on our doors – after all, it is the handles and push plates that are often touched the most, so it could be argued that these present the greatest risk.

Our timber-free GRP doors are ideally suited to the tough cleaning regimes within healthcare facilities. They are:

• Resistant to water, chemicals, and fumigation agents
• Guaranteed not to swell, rot or warp
• Non-porous
• Easy to clean and keep clean, with a smooth non-textured surface finish
• Available in a wide range of standard and RAL colours
