Record 4500 Laidlaw Doorsets for St Helens and Whiston Hospitals

Laidlaw Solutions’ position as the UK’s leading supplier of doorsets to the healthcare sector has been emphasised by the specification of 4500 Orbis Timber Doorsets to two new PFI hospitals at St Helens and Whiston. In addition to a 30-year maintenance and replacement contract, specialist requirements included 50 postformed 'Acroyn' PVC-faced sterile doorsets for level 1 theatres, 80 Radiological performance doorsets for X-Ray departments and 180 Easi-fold doorsets for disabled POD bathrooms. Orbis Commercial ironmongery in Silk Anodised Aluminium was supplied for the ’Bio Oak’ laminated doorsets, with solid nylon Normbau levers and pull handles used for the ’Corfu’ Formica® psm laminate doors.

Laidlaw Managing Director John Jefferies commented, “This is a huge project that Laidlaw has been proud to support. We have worked in partnership with the Taylor Woodrow teams, at both St Helens and Whiston, to deliver a world class hospital for the client and local community. There could be no better illustration of Laidlaw’s ability to meet the specialised needs of healthcare projects in the UK."
