During the late 1990s Gradus introduced wall protection systems to complement its broadening contract interior portfolio.

The business has demonstrated impressive growth and market presence in healthcare, education and commercial offi ce applications throughout the UK and Europe.

This success has been accomplished as a result of a strong partnership between Gradus and the InPro Corporation, a leading US manufacturer of door and wall protection, expansion joints, cubicle track and curtains.

This partnership has over 15 years experience of Gradus manufacturing & marketing InPro-designed wall protection products, and is now strengthened and expanded to cover a number of new markets including the entire continent of Europe.

The Gradus InPro range of wall protection utilises PVC-u to provide durable, impact resistant products in a wide range of colours and profile designs.

These are just some of the reasons why Gradus uses PVC in the production of many of its products. The following information gives an overview of the benefits of PVC and aims to answer some of the questions relating to the use of PVC.

The benefits of PVC

4

What is PVC?PVC, or Polyvinyl Chloride to give it its full title, is a thermoplastic.

It is made up from two starting materials – salt (57%) and natural gas or oil (43%).

Salt is one of the world’s most abundant resources. Over 50 quadrillion tonnes of salt exist dissolved in the oceans and over 200 billion tonnes are available underground. In addition, PVC uses less fossil fuels than all other commodity plastics.

Safe & TrustedPVC is a safe and versatile material. It is an inert, non-toxic polymer and as such is one of the few materials that is trusted for use in the storage of live human blood cells for products such as blood bags and blood tubing. It is also used for dry dosage blister packs and IV containers.

In the event of a fire, PVC is flame retardant due to the high chlorine content. If removed from the fire it will self-extinguish.

Numerous independent studies have concluded that PVC is an eco-efficient material when managed responsibly from cradle to grave and that it provides many sustainable benefits to society.

Durable & DiversePVC is easily processed and can be shaped and formed into a wide range of products. It is durable and lightweight in construction, making it ideal for long-life applications such as cabling, pipes, window frames, cladding, fascia boards and flooring.

The inherent properties of PVC make it valuable to many industries. It has a high strength to weight ratio, does not corrode and is extremely durable.

Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs)A major revision of the BRE Green Guide was undertaken in 2008 which led to a wide range of PVC products being awarded A and A+ ratings over and above traditional materials such as timber, supporting the fact that PVC is a sustainable product. Products with these ratings include window frames, cladding, flooring and roofing.

About 60% of PVC manufactured has a service life of between 15 and 100 years. Main applications are in construction as window frames, water and waste pipes, cable and wire insulation.

Energy ConsumptionPVC consumes less non-renewable primary energy resources (e.g. gas & oil) than ALL other commodity plastics including PCs (Polycarbonates), PEs (Polyethylene) and PETGs (Polyethylene Terephthalates Glycol-modified)

Carbon EmissionsPVC has a relatively low carbon footprint compared to other thermoplastics. To put this into context it is equivalent in weight to 1Kg of frosted cornflakes – both at 1.9Kg CO2.

Recycled PVC has an even lower carbon footprint with the production of 1Kg resulting in the equivalent of 0.3Kg CO2.

Some other examples are: 1kg Lamb = 14Kg CO2 1Kg Cheese = 11Kg CO2

RecyclablePVC is a material well suited to recycling and has the longest history of recycling amongst plastics without losing any of its performance properties. PVC can be recycled up to 7 times over a 200 year life span. As a thermoplastic it can be melted down and converted into new products.

Gradus wall protection PVC-u components contain up to 100% recycled content and all surplus Gradus rigid PVC waste is granulated and sold on to third parties for use in the manufacture of products such as traffic cones and coat hangers. Start-up scrap and contaminated scrap is taken for reprocessing to be used in the construction industry e.g. roadways.

Raw MaterialsGradus selects PVC compounds that have a low environmental footprint and meet the European Chemical Regulations known as REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and restriction of Chemicals) EC1907-2006.

All Gradus raw materials used in the manufacture of wall protection are responsibly sourced from suppliers who are either ISO 14001 accredited or in the process of being accredited.

The PVC IndustryThe European PVC industry has a 10 year Voluntary Commitment – VinylPlus - to tackle the sustainability challenges for PVC and to ensure the on-going sustainable development of the industry’s value chain.

VinylPlus was set up in 2011 to build on the achievements of the Vinyl 2010 programme and underlines the commitment to drive the PVC industry into a new era of a greener economy.

Light Reflectance ValuesAll Gradus InPro wall protection colours have been measured for Light Reflectance and the Value (LRV) is detailed above each colour (values have been measured using the CIE Y value in accordance with BS8493:2008 + A1:2010). LRVs allow tonal contrast to be achieved between different surfaces to highlight features (e.g. handrails or door furniture), identify hazards or provide wayfinding.

Important note: Due to the limitations of the printing process, colours within this catalogue should not be relied upon for colour matching. An accurate colour match can only be achieved by requesting the relevant product sample(s).

This is in line with the guidance in Approved Document M (2004) and Approved Document K (2013) of The Building Regulations 2010, BS8300:2009+A1 2010 and Colour, Contrast & Perception (Project Rainbow). For further information on how LRVs can be used to effectively specify Gradus wall protection see Specification Guidelines pages 70 to 75.

Door Face, Edge & Frame Protection

52

Sanparrel kickplates and pushplates provide protection to doors from damage such as scrapes and dents caused by wheeled and general traffic. Cut from Sanparrel sheet (2440mm x 1220mm), these products are 1.5mm thick, produced to individual size requirements and bevelled on the edges to provide a smooth and safe finish. Alternatively the protection panels can be cut into the base material whether that be contrasting Sanparrel or rebated into the timber by the door manufacturer.

Illustrated below are several installation methods, ranging from a surface mounted option to fully clad door sets. Sanparrel can be applied to new doors by the door manufacturer or by a contractor as part of building/refurbishment works (for stainless steel door and edge protection see page 64). The level of protection and specific site conditions will determine which method of installation is most appropriate, together with the provision of intumescent fire and smoke seals for fire rated doors (for fire rated door edge guards see page 56).

Typical examples shown, contact Gradus Technical Support on 01625 428922 to discuss bespoke options.

Fully cladding a door frame can be achieved by the door manufacturer in the factory or fabricated on-site by the use of thermoforming Sanparrel sheet material. ‘Off-site’ thermoforming can be produced from accurate site dimensions and / or oversized to be trimmed down on-site.

Plan view

Sanparrel™ sheet offers excellent flexibility through the versatility of forming into bespoke profiles, allowing functionality to be combined with aesthetics and offering an endless range of cladding possibilities, to protect as well as offering tonal contrast to aid the visually impaired (see pages 70 to 72 for guidance).

Door Frames are potentially subject to high levels of impact from the funnelling effect the door opening creates. With the infinite permutations of different sizes, shapes and position of door frames, door stops and architraves, each product solution will be project specific.

The primary function of door frame guards is for protection. However the opportunity can be taken to create tonal contrast to assist the visually impaired. To help specifiers and building owners meet their duties under the guidelines in BS8300:2009 + A1:2010 and Approved Document M (2004) see pages 70 to 72.

Specification GuidelinesThe Building Regulations, British Standards and Construction Guidelines for specifying the appropriate Gradus product

Building Regulations and British Standards are designed to ensure the optimum specification of products through a combination of legislative requirements and guidance. The following extracts have been taken from the Building Regulations 2010, British Standard BS8300 + A1:2010, Health Building Note 00-10 and Health Building Note 00-04 and show how Gradus products can be used to help satisfy these requirements, and help achieve an inclusive environment in line with the Equality Act 2010. For further details on this or any other aspect of Building Regulations and Standards contact Gradus Technical Services on 01625 428922.

Note: Details of standards and guidelines are correct at time of going to print, current standards should be checked prior to specifying.

Extracts from the Building Regulations

Building Regulations 2010 - Approved Document M “Access to and use of buildings”

(2004 Edition incorporating 2010 and 2013 amendments for use in England)

The latest version of Approved Document M 2004 is stated ‘for use in England’. Current building standards should be checked at time of specification for Wales, Scotland & Northern Ireland.

The Legal RequirementPart M Access to and use of buildings Access and Use

M1. Reasonable provision shall be made for people to -

a) gain access to : and b) use the building and its facilities

Gradus advice and recommendations for the Building Regulations - Approved Document M are detailed in blue text. For further details contact Gradus Technical Services on 01625 428922.

Approved Document MApproved documents are intended to provide guidance. Much of the guidance in the approved document is based on BS8300:2009+A1:2010. The guidance contained in Approved Document M is designed to indicate one way in which requirements may be met. There may be other equally satisfactory ways of meeting the requirements.

Entrance Lobbies2.29 Entrance lobbies will satisfy Requirement M1 or M2 if:

(h) Any columns, ducts and similar full height elements that project into the lobby by more than 100mm are protected by a visually contrasting guard rail.

(h): Protruding elements can be highlighted with products such as Sanparrel sheet, rubrails or Armaclad which can be formed around the element, additionally wall guards and corner guards can be used.

Internal Doors3.8 The presence of doors, whether open or closed, should be

apparent to visually impaired people through the careful choice of colour and material for the door and its surroundings. For example, when a door is open, people with impaired sight

should be able to identify the door opening within the wall, as well as the leading edge of the door.

3.10 Internal doors will satisfy Requirement M1 or M2 if:

(e) All door opening furniture contrasts visually with the surface of the door.

(f) The door frames contrast visually with the surrounding wall

(g) The surface of the leading edge of any door that is not self-closing, or is likely to be held open, contrasts visually with the other door surfaces and its surroundings.

Sanparrel kickplates, pushplates and door edge protectors, along with InPro door frame guards can be used to highlight and protect the door in a colour that contrasts to the door and wall.

Corridors and passageways3.14 Corridors and passageways will satisfy Requirement M1 or M2

if:

(a) Elements such as columns, radiators and fire hoses, do not project into the corridor, or where this is unavoidable, a means of directing people around them, such as a visually contrasting guard rail, is provided.

(a): Protruding elements, such as columns, can be highlighted with products such as Sanparrel sheet, rubrails, Armaclad, wall guards, handrails and corner guards.

Handrails to external stepped and ramped accessNote: Gradus handrails are not suitable for stepped and ramped

access, however these guidelines are considered best practice guidelines for all types of handrails. Similar guidelines can also be found in BS8300:2009 + A1:2010 under 5.10 Handrail Design (see page 72).

Design considerations 1.34 People who have physical difficulty in negotiating changes of

level need the help of a handrail that can be gripped easily, is comfortable to touch and, preferably, provides good forearm support.

Made from PVC-u or timber, Gradus handrails have a comfortable grip with a smooth, safe finish which is not cold to the touch.

1.35 Handrails should be spaced away from the wall and rigidly supported in a way that avoids impeding finger grip.

Gradus InPro 940 Handrail and Gradus 450 Timber Handrail are designed to meet the guidelines in BS8300:2009 + A1:2010 and Approved Document M (2004) with dimensions as stated (see diagram 7 opposite).

1.37 Handrailing to external ramped and stepped access will satisfy Requirement M1 or M2 if:

(e) It contrasts visually with the background against which it is seen, without being highly reflective.

(e): A wide range of colours is available, allowing a handrail to be selected in a colour that contrasts to the background.

(f) Its surface is slip resistant and not cold to the touch.

(f): Gradus handrails are either made from timber or have a textured PVC-u cover which makes them slip resistant and not cold to the touch.

(g) It terminates in a way that reduces the risk of clothes being caught.

(g): All Gradus handrails return to the wall, minimising the risk of snagging.

(h) Its profile is either circular with a diameter of between 32 and 50mm, or non-circular, 50mm wide and 39mm deep having rounded edges with a radius a minimum of 15mm (see diagram 7).

70

(j) There is a clearance of between 50 and 75mm between the handrail and any adjacent wall surface.

(k) There is a clearance of at least 50mm between a cranked support and the underside of the handrail.

(h), (j) Gradus InPro 940 Handrail and Gradus 450 Timber Handrail are & (k): designed to meet the guidelines in BS8300:2009 + A1:2010 and Approved Document M (2004) with dimensions as stated (see diagram 7 below).

Relationship with guidance in Approved Document K (Protection from falling collision and impact)

Where applicable, parts of this Approved Document state that the requirements of Part M will be satisfied by compliance with the applicable parts of the guidance with Approved Document K (Protections from falling, collision and impact). Compliance with these applicable requirements set out in Approved Document K in these circumstances will be regarded as compliance with a relevant design standard for the purposes of regulation 9 and the Schedule to the Regulations.

Handrails to internal steps, stairs and ramps

Design considerations3.54 The design considerations for handrails are as those for

‘Handrails to external stepped and ramped access’ in 1.34 to 1.37.

3.55 Handrails to internal steps. Stairs and ramps will satisfy Requirement M1 or M2 if they comply with Approved Document K, sections 1-3.

For buildings other than dwellings

1.36 Provide handrails in accordance with all of the following.

(d) Ensure that the handrail will contrast visually with the background against which it is seen, without being highly reflective

(d) Gradus handrails are available in a wide range of colours allowing a handrail to be selected in a colour that contrasts with the background. All Gradus handrail colours have been measured to provide Light Reflectance Values* (LRVs)in order to provide the specifier with information to ensure that suitable contrast is achieved.

*These values have been measured using the CIE Y value in accordance with BS8493:2008 + A1:2010.

(e) Use a surface for the handrail that is slip-resistant and which, in locations subject to extremely cold or hot temperatures, does not become excessively cold or hot to touch. In areas where resistance to vandalism or low maintenance are key factors, use of metals with relatively low thermal conductivity may be appropriate.

(e) Made from PVC-u or timber, Gradus handrails have a comfortable grip with a safe, slip-resistant finish that is neither hot nor cold to the touch. The materials used will not cool or heat excessively in extremes of temperature.

BS8300:2009+A1:2010Incorporating amendment number 1

Design and Buildings and their approaches to meet the needs of disabled people - Code of Practice.

This standard provides guidance or good practice in the design of domestic and non-domestic buildings and their approaches so that they are convenient to use by disabled people. Gradus advice and recommendations for BS8300 : 2009 +A1: 2010 are detailed in blue text. For further details contact Gradus Technical Services on 01625 428922.

5.10 Handrails5.10.2 Handrail Design

A handrail should be:

(a) Easy and comfortable to grip with no sharp edges, but able to provide adequate resistance to hand slippage;

(a): Made from PVC-u or timber, Gradus handrails have a comfortable grip with a safe finish.

(b) Continuously graspable along its entire length without obstruction;

(b): Gradus handrails are designed to provide a continuous uninterrupted grip, with accessories such as internal and external corners, allowing the handrail to navigate changes in direction.

(c) Finished so as to provide visual contrast with the surroundings against which it is seen;

(c): The wide range of colours available allows a handrail to be selected in a colour that contrasts with the wall finish.

All Gradus handrail colours have been measured to provide Light Reflectance Values* (LRVs) in order to provide the specifier with information to ensure that suitable contrast is achieved.

*These values have been measured using the CIE Y value in accordance with BS8493:2008 + A1:2010

5.10.3 Handrail dimensions and spacings

Any circular handrail should have a diameter of between 32mm and 50mm.

There should be a clearance of between 50mm and 75mm between a handrail and any adjacent wall surface, and any handrail support should meet the handrail, centrally, on its underside. The clearance between the bottom of the rail and any cranked support, or any continuous balustrade, should be at least 50mm to minimise the risk of the handrail supports interrupting the smooth running of a person’s hand along the rail.

Gradus InPro 940 handrail and 450 Timber handrail are designed to meet the dimensions stated (see pages 20 to 21 & 22 to 23).

Note: Similar guidelines can also be found in The Building Regulations Approved Document M under ‘Handrails to external stepped and ramped access’ (see page 71). Gradus handrails are not suitable for stepped and ramped access, however, these guidelines are considered best practice guidelines for all types of handrail.

9 Surfaces and communication aids9.1 Surface finishes

The extent to which floor, wall, door and ceiling surfaces enable disabled people to find their bearings and maintain their independent use of a building is influenced by:

• Thecolour,pattern,lightreflectancevalue(LRV)andtextureofthe surfaces;

All Gradus products have an LRV to ensure that a suitable choice can be made to contrast between surfaces. For instance, kickplates and pushplates can be used to highlight the door. In addition, handrails that contrast to the background can provide support and direction.

• Thetreatmentofcomponentsandfinishingelements,suchasdoors, architraves, skirtings, handrails, etc. which define, or are contained within, these surfaces;

Through the use of colour, Gradus products can be used to colour code different floors or departments, create wayfinding or highlight protruding elements such as columns.

9.1.1 Visual Characteristics

Differences in LRV should be used to assess the degree of visual contrast between surfaces such as floors, walls, doors and ceilings and between key fittings/fixtures and surrounding surfaces.

All Gradus products have an LRV to ensure that a suitable choice can be made to contrast between surfaces. For instance, kickplates and pushplates can be selected to highlight the door, and handrails can be selected to contrast with the background.

9.1.4 Wall Surfaces

Large, repeating patterns that incorporate bold, contrasting colours should not be used for the wall surfaces in parts of a building where visual acuity is critical.

Service outlets, light switches, and other functional elements on the surface of walls should be distinguishable from the wall, using visual and textural contrast.

Gradus Sanparrel protective PVC-u sheet is available in 30 solid colours in order for visual contrast and clarity to be achieved. This allows other functional elements on the wall surface to be highlighted using Light Reflectance Values to ensure suitable visual contrast.

Extracts from HBN 00-10 Performance requirements for building elements used in healthcare facilities

HBN 00-10 (supersedes HTM 69)

This document outlines the policy and performance requirements for building elements used in healthcare facilities. These requirements are a set of essential standards of quality and safety that building elements must comply with. It supersedes Health Technical Memoranda 56, 60, 61, 64, 68 and 69. Gradus advice and recommendations for HBN 00-10 are detailed in blue text. For further details contact Gradus Technical Services on 01625 428922.

Performance Requirements: • Smooth,hard,seamlessandimpervioussurfacesarerequired

in clinical areas as they are easier to clean.

• Wallfinishesshouldnotcomprisematerialsthatpromoteorsustain the growth of fungi and micro organisms.

• Wallfinishesaretobedurableandabletowithstandminorimpacts without the need for additional wall protection.

• Wallfinishesaretobeimpermeableandeasilywipedoverif necessary and not be physically affected or degraded by detergents and disinfectants.

Gradus Sanparrel offers an impermeable surface finish which is easy to clean and does not support the growth of bacteria or fungus. It is 1.5mm thick and through coloured in order to resist and conceal the effects of impact and abrasion.

Requirements for impact protection: Impact protection is intended to help reduce the incidence

and severity of damage to walls and partitions in healthcare buildings so that their performance is maintained.

Protection fittings include: • Handrails • Crashrails • Bufferrails • ChairRails • CornerGuards • SplayedSkirtings • ProtectivePlatesandsheeting • Bedbuffers

Gradus wall protection products are tested for impact resistance and are designed to absorb impact without damage to the substrate. The majority of profiles are modular in design, allowing damaged covers to be easily replaced without disruption.

Note: This section does not cover the need for handrails as part of a protection system, as this is covered by the client’s project-specific needs and the Equality Act 2010 (see also Health Building Note 00-04 – ‘Circulation and communication spaces’). Nevertheless, this does not preclude the use of handrails as part of a protection system.

Performance Requirements: Materials and colours should comply with the requirements of

the Equality Act 2010, where appropriate.

Gradus InPro wall protection profiles are available in 30 solid colours, all of which are measured for Light Reflectance Values, in order to ensure profiles can be selected to provide suitable visual contrast where required.

Materials for handrails are PVC-u or timber and offer a comfortable grip with a smooth, safe finish which is not cold to the touch.

Extracts from HBN 00-04 – ‘Circulation and communication spaces’

HBN 00-04Health Building Note 00-04 provides guidance on the design of circulation and communication spaces in hospitals and other healthcare buildings, including corridors, internal lobbies and stairs, and lifts. It also provides supporting information on doors and handrails. Gradus advice and recommendations for HBN 00-04 are detailed in blue text. For further details contact Gradus Technical Services on 01625 428922.

2 General design and functional requirements Visual and colour contrast

2.9 Contrasting handrails/crash rails may be fitted to act as navigation tools

The wide range of colours available allows a handrail to be selected in a colour that contrasts with the wall finish. All Gradus handrail colours have been measured to provide Light Reflectance Values* (LRV) in order to provide the specifier with information to ensure that suitable contrast is achieved.

*These values have been measured using the CIE Y value in accordance with BS8493:2008+A1:2010.

3 Corridors Handrails

3.29 Handrails should be fitted in main communication routes (that is, main corridors between departments) and in departmental departments as required. See specific departmental guidance for further information.

See Gradus InPro handrails and combi-rails (pages 18 to 21) and Gradus InPro 3400/3500W Dual Rail (pages 22 to 25)

7 Handrails Shape and size

7.3 Handrails should be easy to grasp; the size and shape should allow a firm but comfortable grip with the whole hand.

7.4 Handrails that are too small are uncomfortable and provide an unsatisfactory grip, whereas handrails that are too large are difficult to grip for people with weak or arthritic hands

7.5 A handrail that is round in cross section with a diameter of 40-45mm is recommended. Oval handrails with dimensions of 38mm x 50mm wide are acceptable. In both cases the longer dimension should be horizontal.

7.6 Handrails with large square or rectangular cross-section should be avoided.

All Gradus InPro handrails feature a round or oval grip. The Gradus InPro 940 handrail, 450 handrail and 3400/3500W Dual Rail feature grip diameters in line with the recommendations and the guidelines in BS8300:2009 + A1:2010 and Approved Document M (2004).

Shape and size

7.7 Handrails should allow enough space between the rail and the adjacent wall (or any other obstacle) for hands to pass without scraping knuckles and to aid those who want to use the rail as a support for the whole forearm.

7.8 A clearance of 60-75mm is recommended, as this allows the forearm to be rested on the rail without any danger of it getting trapped.

Gradus InPro 940 handrail, 450 handrail and 3400/3500W Dual Rail meet the recommended clearance dimension. Similar guidelines can also be found in BS8300:2009 + A1:2010 and Approved Document M (2004).

Provision in corridors

7.19 Handrails should return into recessed doorways and openings, but otherwise be continuous to aid navigation.

All Gradus InPro handrails are offered with a complete range of accessories to allow continuous runs around both internal and external corners and for safe returns to walls to take into account doorways and openings (see pages 18 to 25).

Handrails in association with wall protection

7.20 Where handrails and wall protectors are provided:

• aminimumverticalclearanceof50mmmustbemaintainedbetween the handrail and wall protector (see Figures 30 and 31 opposite);

Gradus InPro 3400/3500W Dual rail is designed to meet the dimensions stated (see pages 22 to 25), incorporating a 50mm clearance between the handrail and wall guard element of the profile. All other Gradus handrails and wall guards are designed to work together and can be installed to the dimensions stated.

7.22 Handrails should be:

• easilyvisible,thatis,contrastvisuallywiththesurfacetowhichthey are fixed;

The wide range of colours available allows a handrail to be selected in a colour which contrasts with the wall finish (see opposite – Visual and colour contrast)

• smoothandfreefromanyabrasiveelements;

• neithertoocoldnortoohottothetouch.

Made from PVC-u or timber, Gradus handrails have a comfortable grip with a smooth, safe finish that is not cold or hot to the touch

Mat (Material) 05 Designing for robustness

No. of credits available: 1

Minimum standards: No

AimTo recognise and encourage adequate protection of exposed elements of the building and landscape, therefore minimising the frequency of replacement and maximising materials optimisation.

Assessment CriteriaThe following is required to demonstrate compliance for:

One credit 1. Areas of the building have been identified (both internal and

external) where vehicular, trolley and pedestrian movement occur.

2. The design incorporates suitable durability and protection measures or design features/solutions to prevent damage to the vulnerable parts of the building. This must include, but is not necessarily limited to:

a. Protection from the effects of high pedestrian traffic in main entrances, public areas and thoroughfares (corridors, lifts, stairs, doors etc).

b. Protection against any internal vehicular/trolley movement within 1m of the internal building fabric in storage, delivery, corridor and kitchen areas.

c. Protection against, or prevention from, any potential vehicular collision where vehicular parking and manoeuvring occurs within 1m of the external building façade for all car parking areas and within 2m for all delivery areas.

Compliance notes

Suitable durability measures

Suitable durability and protection measures to vulnerable parts of the building can include: 1.

Bollards/barriers/raised kerbs to delivery and vehicle drop-off areas 2.

Robust external wall construction, up to 2m high 3.

Corridor walls specified to Severe Duty (SD) as per BS 5234-21 and, for healthcare buildings, Health Technical Memorandum 56 – Partitions2

4. Protection rails to walls of corridors

5. Kick plates/impact protection (from trolleys etc) on doors

6. Hard-wearing and easily washable floor finishes in heavily used circulation areas (i.e. main entrance, corridors, public areas etc)

7. Designing out the risk without the need for additional materials specification to protect vulnerable areas.

Vehicle impact protectionAny vehicle impact protection measures specified must be positioned at an adequate distance from the building to protect the fabric from impact from any vehicle with a measurable overhang of the body from the wheel track, in particular for any goods delivery areas.

Compliance notesConstruction is specified to comply with the credit, additional protection must be provided to ensure against potential damage to the robust façade from vehicle movement, i.e. specifying bollards or protection rails.

Preventing excessive material useThe specification or design measures chosen should reflect the need to balance the additional specification of materials with the need to protect building elements to minimise their replacement, insuring against

excessive material use and promoting materials optimisation.

Public / Common AreasConsideration should be given to materials specification in public/common areas (especially public waiting areas and toilet areas) to provide protection against potential malicious or physical abuse in as far as it is possible.

Sales areas (retail)

In any sales areas, where customer goods trolleys will be used, protection must be provided to vulnerable parts of the building (such as glass curtain walling etc.) within 1m of trolley movement.
