A new anti-climb bullnose fascia system, designed to protect rooflines from unauthorised access and vandalism, and reportedly especially suitable for installation in hospitals, clinics and secure facilities, is now available from Contour, a manufacturer of safe surface heating systems and building fabrications.
The company said: “The anti-climb fascia delivers perfectly in terms of both form and function. An elegant design provides a contemporary finish to a building exterior, while fulfilling the core objective of providing a virtually unscaleable roofline.”
Key features include the fascia’s ability ‘to work in conjunction with almost any guttering system’, its suitability for both new-build and refurbishment and maintenance projects, a heavy duty integrated internal framework, and main bullnose panels manufactured from 3 mm thick pressed and rolled aluminium alloy. For environments at high risk of abuse or damage, Contour can supply the fascia in mild or stainless steel. An integrated box gutter and downpipe is also provided.
Contour recently installed an anti-climb fascia at Dorothy Pattison Hospital, Walsall (pictured), which provides inpatient services and health-based places of safety. To ensure that the hospital complied fully with its duty of care, an anti-climb solution was installed on a building overlooking an open air rest area, to ensure the roofline remained secure.
