Find the Perfect blind for Your GP\u2019s Surgery or Hospital<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

DotcomBlinds<\/a> are proud to supply medical and healthcare services across the nation, traditionally most of our work in healthcare revolved around our HTM-66 compliant Cubicle Track systems<\/a> which are used extensively by the NHS across the UK, as well as our range of medical privacy curtains<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But recently we have launched a new range of commercial window blinds<\/a>, which are ideal for use in healthcare and medical settings, whether it be a pharmacy, GP\u2019s surgery or even large NHS hospitals.<\/p>\n

All of our commercial blinds will meet requirements at the NHS level, as well as fully compliant to any UK-based regulations or legislation surrounding the use of window shades in medical environments.<\/p>\n

While you can rest easy knowing that any commercial blinds you buy from us will suit your needs, we\u2019ll dive into the features that make our commercial range ideal for use in your healthcare setting.<\/p>\n

Biosafe Anti-Bacterial Coating<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Hospitals, GP Surgeries and Pharmacies are usually filled with ill people, it\u2019s a fact of life when you work in the medical industry, but good shades should actively help to limit the spread of these germs in the area. Therefore, it is recommended that any window shades you use in a medical setting should have a Biosafe Anti-Bacterial coating.<\/p>\n

All of the blinds in our commercial range<\/a> come with a Biosafe Anti-Bacterial coating as standard, to help reduce the spread of illness as well as keeping your staff and patients safe. This inherent Biosafe coating will neutralise any bacteria it comes into contact with, keeping your wards or surgery safe.<\/p>\n

Fire Retardant Fabrics<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In any professional healthcare setting in the UK, be it a private setting or within the NHS it is legally required that any window shades used are made with Fire Retardant fabrics in order to comply with the UK government’s fire safety legislation and regulations.<\/p>\n

All of the blinds offered in our commercial blinds range<\/a> will be made with Fire Retardant fabric as standard to ensure that they fully comply with all UK-based fire safety legislation and regulations, allowing you to rest easy knowing your new shades are compliant.<\/p>\n

Wipe Clean Fabrics<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As any seasoned medical professional will tell you, healthcare settings can be messy places. From nauseous patients walking the wards or a GP draining an infected boil, all the way to regular day-to-day messes like spilt drinks, you need a blind in your medical setting that can deal with whatever mess gets thrown at it.<\/p>\n

This is why all of DotcomBlinds\u2019 commercial blinds<\/a> come with wipe-clean fabrics as standard, this means that the blind can easily be cleaned with nothing more than a damp towel, making the life of cleaners in your medical setting much easier.<\/p>\n

High-Quality Parts<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re buying a blind for a busy hospital ward or another healthcare setting with a high volume of patients, you will want to ensure that whatever blinds you buy are ready to deal with the rough and tumble of a busy medical setting.<\/p>\n

Here at DotcomBlinds<\/a>, we only ever use top-shelf materials, fabrics and components in our commercial blinds<\/a>, so whatever blind you choose you\u2019ll know it\u2019s capable of surviving wear and tear that could damage an inferior set of window blinds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
