Patient safety key as Harrogate Hospital turns to Crittall Fendor

Cygnet Hospital Harrogate is a longestablished mental health hospital that provides support and treatment for both NHS and privately funded patients.

A recent decision to replace and upgrade the windows led to the specification of specialist units by Crittall Fendor, experts in high security fenestration. The CleanVent is designed to maintain security while being cleaned and also provides no projection to which a ligature can be fixed, a particular consideration where patients being cared for may have a predilection to self-harm.

The robust window is available in steel, aluminium or a hybrid of both materials. Aluminium CleanVents were specified except for the front elevation of the building where taller, narrower steelaluminium SwingVents were used.
