Specially developed for mental health unit
3rd December 2019

Morley Glass & Glazing has completed a £500,000 installation of integral blinds specially developed for the project at Belfast City Hospital’s new Acute Mental Health Inpatient Unit.

The £20m building now benefits from its SL20 MB system, featuring one mechanism for the patient to control inside their room and a key operated override system for staff to operate externally.

The hospital was also able to save thousands of poundsby using its Uni-Blind sealed units with warm edge spacer bars, rather than units with a ceramic frit to cover spacer bars, as originally specified.

Managing director Ian Short said: “This project is a great example of some of the added benefits our Uni-Blind sealed units can offer to projects such as this. Once we’d spoken to the architect for the project, he was confident that not only did Uni-Blinds look better than the other systems he’d seen on the market, but this decision would save the hospital around £150 per unit.”
