Specialist Door Solutions launches healthcare-focused Clariglide sliding doorset

Published: 1-Jul-2024

The specialist healthcare doorset manufacturer SDS has released Clariglide, a fully glazed sliding door specifically designed to meet the unique needs of the UK healthcare sector

Specialist Door Solutions, a manufacturer of doorsets for healthcare and clinical environments, has added to its range of doors specifically for the UK healthcare sector with its new Clariglide (trademarked).

Clariglide is a fully glazed sliding door, developed in line with feedback from healthcare architects and contractors, who wanted a sliding door to save space and improve accessibility.

The sliding action of the new Clariglide doorset produces minimal air disturbance and the durable powder-coated finish makes it easy to clean and does not harbour bacteria, making them ideal for areas where infection control is critical.

With the launch of Clariglide, Specialist Door Solutions is now the only supplier of both timber-based and aluminium doors for healthcare settings

Moreover, the sliding doors are extremely strong and durable yet light and easy to operate, ensuring they meet the demanding needs of healthcare facilities.

Another feature of Clariglide is the low-friction running gear, which is fully concealed behind a sloping pelmet for improved aesthetics and infection control.

Additionally, no floor track is required and doors can be specified with soft-close devices in the fully-opened, and fully-closed positions and the unique frame design is adjustable in depth to suit the wall thickness and features built-in architraves.

All frame fixings are fully concealed within the frame system meaning that there are no visible fixings and Clariglide is available in a variety of sizes and finishes and can be customised to suit the specific needs of each healthcare facility.

Clariglide also complies with the strict hygiene standards of the healthcare industry and is rigorously tested to meet all relevant safety standards and regulations.

Further, with the launch of Clariglide, Specialist Door Solutions is now the only supplier of both timber-based and aluminium doors for healthcare settings, making the company a one-stop shop for NHS and private healthcare providers.

Laurie Ware, Technical Manager for SDS, said: "We are thrilled to introduce Clariglide to the market. Each element of this doorset has been carefully considered and designed with input from healthcare architects, so we know they meet the standards of the healthcare industry while providing a reliable and practical solution for NHS trusts, private healthcare facilities, healthcare architects, and contractors."
