Integra Anti Ligature Window Solutions

 

Integra Precision Engineering has changed much over the years. We have nurtured development and innovation from our team to constantly stay ahead of the competition and bring out the best in all members of our group by always looking at how we could meet the challenges most other precision engineering companies shy away from.

An example of our success in innovation can be seen by the manufacture of our special "Anti Ligature" windows solutions. These anti ligature windows are specially fabricated where, once opened, a grill covers the opening of the window, preventing any catch points, security risks related to absconding or the passing of any illicit substances through the window, while maintaining the flow of fresh air.

We have already successfully installed many anti ligature windows across the UK and have been met with 100% satisfaction from all customers.

Integra anti ligature windows are specially fabricated where, once opened, a grill covers the opening of the window, preventing any catch points, security risks related to absconding or the passing of any illicit substances through the window, while maintaining the flow of fresh air.

We have found that each hospital in every trust has a different design, shape and size of window. However, the most common type of window found in NHS mental health hospitals are the "top hung" as shown to the left.

As can be seen our solution (the white parts of the interior of the window) are fitted, guarding the opening. When we are designing the frame to fit each window we take into consideration factors such as size of sills and the reveal of the window, to make sure each frame fits perfectly to its allocated window.

As shown below we can adapt our solutions to windows either as single or double units, or as part of a fixed window and opening light system.

 

Our windows solutions are not just restricted to bedrooms. we have solutions available for rooms anywhere, including day rooms, internal walls, showers, kitchens and prison windows.

As shown here, our day room solutions are designed to have a double opening, from the top and bottom, increasing air flow further. It is also worth noting the windows on either side of the solution are fixed, yet unaffected by the installation of our solution even though the mullions are quite narrow.

Our anti ligature windows have been met with resounding approval from every single customer. We have installed units nationwide with units ready for viewing in a number of public institutions

The anti ligature windows are designed to be aesthetically pleasing yet have simple and durable designs. They can be fabricated from a wide number of materials and come in almost any colour. We design the windows individually to meet YOUR needs, not the other way round.

The anti ligature windows are retro fitted to be installed quickly and cleanly into most frames so there is no need to waste time (or money) on installing compatible new frames. The windows are truly anti ligature, providing a complete security solution, unlike other fabrications which still pose a potential hazard.

The anti ligature windows made by Integra Precision Engineering are designed to be retro fitted, so there is no hassle of installing lots of new frames etc, and can be manufactured to almost any design required and from most materials. They are able to fit into most frames, including metal, uPVC and wood

We at Integra Precision Engineering believe that any customer who installs these units will be completely satisfied with our product, we ensure this by offering to fit one of our solutions to a window of your choice, free of charge, for as long as you need to get as many people as possible to try it out and offer their opinion. If, after the trial period ends, you feel that the solution is unsuitable, we simply remove the solution (again at no cost to yourselves) and restore the window to its original condition.

However, if, during this period, you suggest any design changes we will accomodate them. We wil not install our solutions to any other window until you are completely satisfied that our solutions are the best for your particular facility.
