THE SOLUTION


 

The Allegion solution for Garbí Building at Pere Virgili Sanitary Park:

INVISIBLE TECHNOLOGY

The atmosphere inside the hospital is designed to instill a sense of peace and tranquility. The predominant colors of the walls, doors and accessories are white and grey combined with stainless steel. The main entrances have a warm, open and welcoming effect on visitors thanks to the use of wood and glass elements.

 

The safety solutions provided by Allegion blend seamlessly with the interior design, matching the color palette. Even more so, in order to disappear from sight, they project as little as possible from the surfaces where they are installed, to facilitate the passing through of stretchers, wheelchairs, food trolleys and people in general.

INTEGRATED SOLUTIONS

The solution adopted by Pere Virgili Hospital consists of an integrated system for door safety and security. The door locks provide high resistance to fire while the panic exit devices combine fast and easy opening of the doors even by elderly people and children and maximum security in closing. The panic exit devices are also protected by a special antibacterial finish that prevents the spread of microorganisms and the growth of bacteria and dangerous fungi.

 

Door stops and closers are designed for maximum versatility and safety, enabling to control door opening, to hold doors open in certain positions and to open both inwards and outwards, in complete harmony with the aesthetics of the layout, thanks to the clean design and elegant finishes.

TOTAL RELIABILITY

After a cospicuous investment, one would expect to count on a state-of-the-art solution that works flowlessly through time, with the constant availability of replacements and spare parts through a chain of distributors.

 

Allegion has a long-standing experience in healthcare solutions and is familiar with the need for complete reliability in terms of quality and availability. Our products are distributed worldwide and certified in accordance with European Union Directives and are CE-marked. Although our research and development teams are constantly working to upgrade our products, we strive to maintain maximum interchangeability and integration with previous generation products, so we can continue supplying spare parts over time.
