- Installation quote
- "Hospitals have high quality - often heavy - fixtures but as the use of a room changes you're often limited to certain areas on the wall to install them. LaDura is strong enough to negate the need to go back and reinforce with plywood - meaning you can easily change the use and fittings of a room."
- Installation Text
- Identifying specialised best-in-class solutions was key to the success of this bid. Having worked closely with our technical team on two previous healthcare builds - Leighton Hospital, Crewe and The Christie Hospital, Manchester - Interserve were able to demonstrate key examples of product innovation and installation efficiencies. By using GTEC LaDura the need for using plywood pattresses was removed from the partitions, which in turn sped up the time taken to install, delivering the build 6 weeks ahead of schedule.
