Designing better mental healthcare facilities

Hidden activation and steel construction

Designed to contribute to a therapeutic environment ‘with safety, security, and recovery in mind’, the Skytech Lite healthcare window from Pensher Skytech incorporates a frameless sliding vent, increasing access to natural light without compromising its anti-ligature attributes.

The Skytech Lite is of robust steel construction with thermally insulated thinner steel profiles and a stainless steel mesh panel. Hidden activation locking and a smooth gliding control system allow the window vent locks to be secured in any position. Derek Quinn, technical manager, said: “Incorporating steel rather than aluminium profiles, the window is produced using a welding process which sees the finished product have no mechanical joints.”

Pensher Skytech has traditionally specialised in designing and manufacturing bespoke, high specification blast-resistant doors and windows, but recently entered the healthcare sector with two anti-ligature windows, the Skytech Blue and Skytech Lite. The Skytech Lite is reportedly suitable for inpatient mental healthcare use in low, medium, and high security facilities, CAMHS units, complex care and dementia services, and young offender establishments.
