ALUMAX – The Finger Safe Fire Door From Safehinge
The Problem
The inspiration behind the ALUmax range of products from Safehinge was very simple. In the UK alone, some 30,000 children injure their fingers in doors every year. That adds up to a lot of trapped fingers.
The end result of this is not only a great deal of pain and distress, to children and parents alike, but also the estimated cost of £200 million to the NHS, which has to deal with such accidents. With a culture increasingly focused on litigation, then building owners and specifiers have a responsibility to ensure such accidents are reduced by improving door safety.
The Safehinge Doors Solution
The answer to this problem is ALUmax, from Safehinge which is an integral finger door guard which is ideal for new builds and reduces the risk of fingers getting trapped. This clever door hinge design offers a stylish solution as it integrates perfectly with the door, whilst ensuring it is impossible for fingers to be caught. As an attractive addition to any door, it blends in seamlessly with any environment and is perfect for all sorts of surroundings. Avoid trapped hands or finger with our finger safe fire doors.
