Nursing Homes
Nursing Homes
Nursing homes and residential care facilities require façades that create safe, welcoming, and durable environments. These buildings must prioritise fire safety, accessibility, and comfort for vulnerable residents, while also meeting strict regulatory standards. For main contractors, delivering a compliant building envelope is critical to reducing risk and ensuring long-term client satisfaction.
Advanced Glass glazing and façade services partners with contractors to deliver complete façade solutions for care environments, providing tested systems that meet both performance and safety demands.
Meeting the Needs of Nursing Homes
Fire Safety and Compartmentation
With vulnerable occupants, fire safety is paramount. Our façade packages integrate Siderise fire stops, fire-rated glazing, and aluminium systems from Technal, Senior Architectural Systems, and Aluprof. These align with Approved Document B requirements for compartmentation and safe evacuation.
Accessibility
Nursing homes must comply with Approved Document M, ensuring that entrances and circulation areas are fully accessible for residents, staff, and visitors. Our aluminium doors and glazing systems are designed with wide openings, low thresholds, and options for automation to support accessibility.
Thermal Comfort and Efficiency
Elderly residents are particularly sensitive to changes in temperature. Our glazing systems are specified for energy efficiency under Approved Document L, providing warm, comfortable interiors while controlling heating costs.
Acoustic Performance
Peace and quiet are essential in care settings. We specify glazing with tested acoustic ratings to protect residents from traffic and external noise, in line with healthcare and residential performance standards.
Security and Durability
Nursing homes require secure yet welcoming façades. We provide robust aluminium windows and doors with PAS24:2022 compliance where required, balancing security with ease of use for residents and staff.
