Radiators in schools can pose a threat to a child’s safety with non-LST radiators heat as high as 75⁰C, Contour Heating Products offers a safer alternative with its Covora high-quality, low-cost LST radiators.
The Education (School Premises) Regulations 1996 state that SEN schools, nurseries and teaching accommodation must furnish buildings with radiators that don’t exceed 43⁰C to ensure safety for staff and children.
With Contour’s Covora LST radiators, you can refurbish your classrooms with affordable, safe surface temperature heating solutions.
Contour’s LST designs are pivotal to safety in educational environments; it’s vital that children do not come into contact with hazardous surface temperatures in schools.
Covora LST radiators ensure safe surface temperatures. These radiators are the ideal heating solution for classroom and student accommodation refurbishments: safe, robust and affordable.
Manufactured from 1.2mm mild steel, Covora LST radiators have strong, durable casings that are resilient towards the knocks and bumps of school life.
Ventilation grilles are easy to clean. The narrow width of the grilles prevents the insertion of pencils, pens and other classroom equipment.
For extra safety, the radiator covers have bullnose corners and rounded edges to strengthen the units and reduce the risk of injury should a child fall against the radiator.
Contour’s LST range is coated with BioCote® infused polyester powder to an average thickness of 60 microns, internally and externally. BioCote® anti-microbial additives reduce up to 99.5% of microbial colonies on the surface of radiator casings within 2 hours. A substantial reduction of up to 86% is clear in just fifteen minutes.
BioCote® constantly inhibits the growth of bacteria over the full expected lifetime of the radiator cover. Bacteria commonly found on radiators includes the H1N1 Influenza virus, Salmonella and Streptococcus faecalis.
Controlled tests conducted by BioCote® and supported by Contour revealed that children’s absenteeism was 20% lower in a classroom environment where fixtures and fittings were protected with BioCote® than in a classroom with no anti-microbial protection.
