Nursing homes, hospitals, nurseries and schools are amongst a number of environments where safety is paramount, due to the often vulnerable members of the community that occupy them.
NOBO heating leads the field in providing comprehensive and appropriate heating solutions for these safety-critical interiors. Widely recognised for its low surface temperature (LST) heater concept, NOBO’s Series 8 range of LST heaters has been designed to ensure an even and safe temperature for those most vulnerable to scalding and skin burns, the elderly and young.
Meeting the NHS Estates Health Guidance Notes on ‘Safe Hot Water and Surface Temperatures’, the LST heaters have been developed not to exceed 43ºC, the maximum surface temperature recommended in the guidelines. Available in outputs of 500 Watt, 800 Watt and 1000 Watt, NOBO’s LST heaters incorporate safety cut-out, silent electronic thermostats and importantly create no hot spots, which can be a major weakness of other systems.
While safety critical, the convector heaters are also stylish, enabling the heating specification of a room to be integrated seamlessly as part of the interior scheme. The LST heaters use the proven Series 8 electronic plug-in proportional thermostats with temperature scales, designed to achieve optimum warmth and comfort with maximum safety. Typically the range will be 5ºC to 24ºC and where control is required the NOBO Orion 700 wireless RF controller or the cable remote control GCH System can be used for the management of economy and safety levels.
Martin Shepherd, Creda NOBO’s Sales Director, said: “Placing great emphasis on delivering safe products, our LST heaters are perfectly suited for the requirements of all safety-conscious interiors.
“Ideal for nursing homes and doctors’ surgeries, the convector heaters are also suitable for public buildings, such as local community or church halls, that may be used by certain sectors of the community most at risk if the surface temperature of a heater exceeds 43ºC.
“Requiring only minimal maintenance, the stylish design of our LST heaters, ensures safe heating solutions are provided while not detracting from the well-being factor we expect our nurseries and residential units to promote.”
