Knightsbridge sees Part M in anthracite and white

KNIGHTSBRIDGE – one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of wiring accessories and lighting – has recently compiled a collection of wiring accessories ideally suited to environments where meeting Part M of the Building Regulations is a concern.

The collection covers safety, ease of use and hygiene, encompassing anti-bacterial switches and sockets and accessories dedicated for those with disabilities.

At the heart of the Part M range is colourcontrasted, outboard rocker sockets, and high contrast and wide-rockered switches for both lighting and appliances.

To assist people with visual impairments, socket chassis come in a striking anthracite finish with white rockers for contrast. This range satisfies recommendations that switches contrast with front plates, which in turn contrast with walls.

By mounting the rockers on the sockets’ outboard edges, the risk of an accidental disconnection or contact with live pins is greatly reduced. Both one and two-gang sockets are available.

Two-way light switches – again anthracite and white – come with single or two-gang wide rockers, or in traditional narrow format in one, two or three-gangs. Other switches are available for fan isolation, hobs, ovens and 13A fused spurs, with and without neons.

Other products in Knightsbridge’s range that lend themselves to Part M applications include pull-cord operated switches to assist the less able; and an extensive series of data and media modules. of the Humber. We have a highly experienced team here at Primrose House, and supporting our residents in leading meaningful and comfortable lives is always our priority.

At a time of enhanced awareness of personal and environmental hygiene, whether in the home or workplace, the moulded range of Part M products from Knightsbridge also possess inherent anti-bacterial properties that can help in the fight against disease and infection.

Tested to ISO 22196: 2011, the range is produced using Urea Formaldehyde, a highgrade thermoset material which has properties that inhibit the growth of bacteria and makes a positive contribution to reducing instances of common bacteria such as Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Klebsiella Pneumoniae and E-Coli and Salmonella.

In addition, Knightsbridge’s precision manufacturing methods result in fine, scratch free faces – avoiding dirt traps in which harmful microscopic organisms might lodge.

The range’s high gloss, high quality materials’ resistance to scratching helps maintain product appearance over the longer term too.

Backed by Knightsbridge’s unrivalled quality, reliability and service; the collection – outlined in a new five-page publication The Complete Part M Range – is guaranteed for an impressive 25 years (two years on electronic products).

“We take a person-centred approach to care, which means our residents are recognised as individuals, and their care is delivered in a personalised way, meaning dignity and respect is always upheld.

“We offer residency for people who simply need extra support and security, as well as offering the highest level of support for residents with dementia.”

In addition, the home has been built with the environment in mind, with several environmentally friendly initiatives throughout.

It comes with an A energy-rating and a carbon-free status, meaning it operates without gas.

Instead, ground source heating technology has been built under the site for underfloor and water heating, as well as air-cooling systems, and 80 per cent of the roof of the home is covered in solar panels for electricity generation, with an on-site battery to store excess energy for use at another time. The next home from Danforth Care Home Group, Barton Manor, will open in August in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire.
