Why Gradus
During the late 1990s Gradus introduced wall protection systems to complement its broadening contract interior portfolio. The business has demonstrated impressive growth and market presence in healthcare, education and commercial office applications throughout the UK and Europe. This success has been accomplished as a result of a strong partnership between Gradus and the InPro Corporation, a leading US manufacturer of door and wall protection, expansion joints, cubicle track and curtains. This partnership has over 15 years experience of Gradus manufacturing & marketing InPro-designed wall protection products, and is now strengthened and expanded to cover a number of new markets including the entire continent of Europe.

The benefits of PVC

The Gradus InPro range of wall protection utilises PVC-u to provide durable, impact resistant products in a wide range of colours and profile designs. These are just some of the reasons why Gradus uses PVC in the production of many of its products. The following information gives an overview of the benefits of PVC and aims to answer some of the questions relating to the use of PVC.
What is PVC?
PVC, or Polyvinyl Chloride to give it its full title, is a thermoplastic. It is made up from two starting materials salt (57%) and natural gas or oil (43%). Salt is one of the worlds most abundant resources. Over 50 quadrillion tonnes of salt exist dissolved in the oceans and over 200 billion tonnes are available underground. In addition, PVC uses less fossil fuels than all other commodity plastics.
Energy Consumption
PVC consumes less non-renewable primary energy resources (e.g. gas & oil) than ALL other commodity plastics including PCs (Polycarbonates), PEs (Polyethylene) and PETGs (Polyethylene Terephthalates Glycol-modified)
Carbon Emissions
PVC has a relatively low carbon footprint compared to other thermoplastics. To put this into context it is equivalent in weight to 1Kg of frosted cornflakes both at 1.9Kg CO2. Recycled PVC has an even lower carbon footprint with the production of 1Kg resulting in the equivalent of 0.3Kg CO2. Some other examples are: 1kg Lamb = 14Kg CO2 1Kg Cheese= 11Kg CO2
Safe & Trusted

PVC is a safe and versatile material. It is an inert, non-toxic polymer and as such is one of the few materials that is trusted for use in the storage of live human blood cells for products such as blood bags and blood tubing. It is also used for dry dosage blister packs and IV containers. In the event of a fire, PVC is flame retardant due to the high chlorine content. If removed from the fire it will self-extinguish. Numerous independent studies have concluded that PVC is an eco-efficient material when managed responsibly from cradle to grave and that it provides many sustainable benefits to society.
Recyclable
PVC is a material well suited to recycling and has the longest history of recycling amongst plastics without losing any of its performance properties. PVC can be recycled up to 7 times over a 200 year life span. As a thermoplastic it can be melted down and converted into new products. Gradus wall protection PVC-u components contain up to 100% recycled content and all surplus Gradus rigid PVC waste is granulated and sold on to third parties for use in the manufacture of products such as traffic cones and coat hangers. Start-up scrap and contaminated scrap is taken for reprocessing to be used in the construction industry e.g. roadways.
Durable & Diverse

PVC is easily processed and can be shaped and formed into a wide range of products. It is durable and lightweight in construction, making it ideal for long-life applications such as cabling, pipes, window frames, cladding, fascia boards and flooring. The inherent properties of PVC make it valuable to many industries. It has a high strength to weight ratio, does not corrode and is extremely durable.
Raw Materials
Gradus selects PVC compounds that have a low environmental footprint and meet the European Chemical Regulations known as REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and restriction of Chemicals) EC1907-2006. All Gradus raw materials used in the manufacture of wall protection are responsibly sourced from suppliers who are either ISO 14001 accredited or in the process of being accredited.
Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs)

A major revision of the BRE Green Guide was undertaken in 2008 which led to a wide range of PVC products being awarded A and A+ ratings over and above traditional materials such as timber, supporting the fact that PVC is a sustainable product. Products with these ratings include window frames, cladding, flooring and roofing. About 60% of PVC manufactured has a service life of between 15 and 100 years. Main applications are in construction as window frames, water and waste pipes, cable and wire insulation.
The PVC Industry

The European PVC industry has a 10 year Voluntary Commitment VinylPlus - to tackle the sustainability challenges for PVC and to ensure the on-going sustainable development of the industrys value chain. VinylPlus was set up in 2011 to build on the achievements of the Vinyl 2010 programme and underlines the commitment to drive the PVC industry into a new era of a greener economy.

Light Reflectance Values

All Gradus InPro wall protection colours have been measured for Light Reflectance and the Value (LRV) is detailed above each colour (values have been measured using the CIE Y value in accordance with BS8493:2008 + A1:2010). LRVs allow tonal contrast to be achieved between different surfaces to highlight features (e.g. handrails or door furniture), identify hazards or provide wayfinding. This is in line with the guidance in Approved Document M (2004) and Approved Document K (2013) of The Building Regulations 2010, BS8300:2009+A1 2010 and Colour, Contrast & Perception (Project Rainbow).

Sanparrel PVC-u sheet offers total protective covering to walls and is installed as a full cladding (floor to ceiling) or to dado height to protect against damage caused by wheeled and pedestrian traffic. A range of trims is available to provide a neat finish and to allow for minor expansion and contraction. The range includes top caps, divider bars and inside corners (as illustrated below). Outside corners can be finished using corner guards from the InPro range and should be selected dependent on the severity of impact damage expected (see pages 38 to 43 for details). As an alternative to the finishing trims, colour matched silicone sealant can be used in order to form an impervious seal and can be used in areas where Sanparrel is likely to come into direct contact with water.

Door Face Protection - typical examples

Sanparrel kickplates and pushplates provide protection to doors from damage such as scrapes and dents caused by wheeled and general traffic. Cut from Sanparrel sheet (2440mm x 1220mm), these products are 1.5mm thick, produced to individual size requirements and bevelled on the edges to provide a smooth and safe finish. Alternatively the protection panels can be cut into the base material whether that be contrasting Sanparrel or rebated into the timber by the door manufacturer.
Typical examples shown, contact Gradus Technical Support on 01625 428922 to discuss bespoke options.
Door Face & Edge Installation Options

Illustrated below are several installation methods, ranging from a surface mounted option to fully clad door sets. Sanparrel can be applied to new doors by the door manufacturer or by a contractor as part of building/refurbishment works (for stainless steel door and edge protection see page 64). The level of protection and specific site conditions will determine which method of installation is most appropriate, together with the provision of intumescent fire and smoke seals for fire rated doors (for fire rated door edge guards see page 56).

Door Frame Protection (Fully Clad)

Sanparrel sheet offers excellent flexibility through the versatility of forming into bespoke profiles, allowing functionality to be combined with aesthetics and offering an endless range of cladding possibilities, to protect as well as offering tonal contrast to aid the visually impaired (see pages 70 to 72 for guidance).
Sanparrel can be formed into a variety of profiles, with the most frequently used profiles being L and U shapes. These profiles can be used to clad a door frame by the door manufacturer, or on site with the use of thermoformed sections For lead times and quotations for bespoke forming, contact Gradus Technical Services on 01625 428922

Door Frames are potentially subject to high levels of impact from the funnelling effect the door opening creates. With the infinite permutations of different sizes, shapes and position of door frames, door stops and architraves, each product solution will be project specific. The primary function of door frame guards is for protection. However the opportunity can be taken to create tonal contrast to assist the visually impaired. To help specifiers and building owners meet their duties under the guidelines in BS8300:2009 + A1:2010 and Approved Document M (2004) see pages 70 to 72.

Handrails to external stepped and ramped access

Note: Gradus handrails are not suitable for stepped and ramped access, however these guidelines are considered best practice guidelines for all types of handrails. Similar guidelines can also be found in BS8300:2009 + A1:2010 under 5.10 Handrail Design (see page 72).
The Legal Requirement

Part M Access to and use of buildings Access and Use M1. Reasonable provision shall be made for people to a) b) gain access to : and use the building and its facilities
Design considerations
1.34 People who have physical difficulty in negotiating changes of level need the help of a handrail that can be gripped easily, is comfortable to touch and, preferably, provides good forearm support. Made from PVC-u or timber, Gradus handrails have a comfortable grip with a smooth, safe finish which is not cold to the touch. 1.35 Handrails should be spaced away from the wall and rigidly supported in a way that avoids impeding finger grip. Gradus InPro 940 Handrail and Gradus 450 Timber Handrail are designed to meet the guidelines in BS8300:2009 + A1:2010 and Approved Document M (2004) with dimensions as stated (see diagram 7 opposite). 1.37 Handrailing to external ramped and stepped access will satisfy Requirement M1 or M2 if: (e) It contrasts visually with the background against which it is seen, without being highly reflective. (e): A wide range of colours is available, allowing a handrail to be selected in a colour that contrasts to the background. (f) Its surface is slip resistant and not cold to the touch. (f): Gradus handrails are either made from timber or have a textured PVC-u cover which makes them slip resistant and not cold to the touch. (g) It terminates in a way that reduces the risk of clothes being caught. (g): All Gradus handrails return to the wall, minimising the risk of snagging. (h) Its profile is either circular with a diameter of between 32 and 50mm, or non-circular, 50mm wide and 39mm deep having rounded edges with a radius a minimum of 15mm (see diagram 7).
Gradus advice and recommendations for the Building Regulations Approved Document M are detailed in blue text. For further details contact Gradus Technical Services on 01625 428922.
Approved Document M
Approved documents are intended to provide guidance. Much of the guidance in the approved document is based on BS8300:2009+A1:2010. The guidance contained in Approved Document M is designed to indicate one way in which requirements may be met. There may be other equally satisfactory ways of meeting the requirements.
Entrance Lobbies
2.29 Entrance lobbies will satisfy Requirement M1 or M2 if: (h) Any columns, ducts and similar full height elements that project into the lobby by more than 100mm are protected by a visually contrasting guard rail. (h): Protruding elements can be highlighted with products such as Sanparrel sheet, rubrails or Armaclad which can be formed around the element, additionally wall guards and corner guards can be used.
Internal Doors

(Effective April 2013 for use in England)
Note: Approved Document K (April 2013) is stated for use in England only. Current building standards should be checked at time of specification for Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Relationship with guidance in Approved Document K (Protection from falling collision and impact)
Where applicable, parts of this Approved Document state that the requirements of Part M will be satisfied by compliance with the applicable parts of the guidance with Approved Document K (Protections from falling, collision and impact). Compliance with these applicable requirements set out in Approved Document K in these circumstances will be regarded as compliance with a relevant design standard for the purposes of regulation 9 and the Schedule to the Regulations.
Handrail for stairs

Note: Gradus handrails are not suitable for use on stepped or ramped access, however these guidelines are considered best practice guidelines for all types of handrail. Similar guidelines can also be found in BS8300:2009 + A1:2010 under 5.10 Handrail Design (see page 72). 1.36 For buildings other than dwellings Provide handrails in accordance with all of the following.
Handrails to internal steps, stairs and ramps Design considerations

3.54 The design considerations for handrails are as those for Handrails to external stepped and ramped access in 1.34 to 1.37. 3.55 Handrails to internal steps. Stairs and ramps will satisfy Requirement M1 or M2 if they comply with Approved Document K, sections 1-3.

(d) Ensure that the handrail will contrast visually with the background against which it is seen, without being highly reflective (d) Gradus handrails are available in a wide range of colours allowing a handrail to be selected in a colour that contrasts with the background. All Gradus handrail colours have been measured to provide Light Reflectance Values* (LRVs)in order to provide the specifier with information to ensure that suitable contrast is achieved.
*These values have been measured using the CIE Y value in accordance with BS8493:2008 + A1:2010. (e) Use a surface for the handrail that is slip-resistant and which, in locations subject to extremely cold or hot temperatures, does not become excessively cold or hot to touch. In areas where resistance to vandalism or low maintenance are key factors, use of metals with relatively low thermal conductivity may be appropriate. (e) Made from PVC-u or timber, Gradus handrails have a comfortable grip with a safe, slip-resistant finish that is neither hot nor cold to the touch. The materials used will not cool or heat excessively in extremes of temperature. (g) Use the handrail profile shown in Diagram 1.13 (g) Gradus InPro 940 handrail, Gradus Timber 450 handrails and Gradus Dual-Rail are designed to meet the guidance in BS8300:2009 + A1:2010 plus Approved Document M and Approved Document K of The Building Regulations 2010 with dimensions stated (see diagram 1.13 to left).

T hrough the use of colour, Gradus products can be used to colour code different floors or departments, create wayfinding or highlight protruding elements such as columns. 9.1.1 Visual Characteristics Differences in LRV should be used to assess the degree of visual contrast between surfaces such as floors, walls, doors and ceilings and between key fittings/fixtures and surrounding surfaces. All Gradus products have an LRV to ensure that a suitable choice can be made to contrast between surfaces. For instance, kickplates and pushplates can be selected to highlight the door, and handrails can be selected to contrast with the background. 9.1.4 Wall Surfaces Large, repeating patterns that incorporate bold, contrasting colours should not be used for the wall surfaces in parts of a building where visual acuity is critical. Service outlets, light switches, and other functional elements on the surface of walls should be distinguishable from the wall, using visual and textural contrast. Gradus Sanparrel protective PVC-u sheet is available in 30 solid colours in order for visual contrast and clarity to be achieved. This allows other functional elements on the wall surface to be highlighted using Light Reflectance Values to ensure suitable visual contrast.

5.10 Handrails
5.10.2 Handrail Design A handrail should be:
(a) Easy and comfortable to grip with no sharp edges, but able to provide adequate resistance to hand slippage; (a): Made from PVC-u or timber, Gradus handrails have a comfortable grip with a safe finish. (b) Continuously graspable along its entire length without obstruction; (b): Gradus handrails are designed to provide a continuous uninterrupted grip, with accessories such as internal and external corners, allowing the handrail to navigate changes in direction. (c) Finished so as to provide visual contrast with the surroundings against which it is seen; (c): The wide range of colours available allows a handrail to be selected in a colour that contrasts with the wall finish.
All Gradus handrail colours have been measured to provide Light Reflectance Values* (LRVs) in order to provide the specifier with information to ensure that suitable contrast is achieved. *These values have been measured using the CIE Y value in accordance with BS8493:2008 + A1:2010 5.10.3 Handrail dimensions and spacings Any circular handrail should have a diameter of between 32mm and 50mm. There should be a clearance of between 50mm and 75mm between a handrail and any adjacent wall surface, and any handrail support should meet the handrail, centrally, on its underside. The clearance between the bottom of the rail and any cranked support, or any continuous balustrade, should be at least 50mm to minimise the risk of the handrail supports interrupting the smooth running of a persons hand along the rail. Gradus InPro 940 handrail and 450 Timber handrail are designed to meet the dimensions stated (see pages 20 to 21 & 22 to 23). Note: Similar guidelines can also be found in The Building Regulations Approved Document M under Handrails to external stepped and ramped access (see page 71). Gradus handrails are not suitable for stepped and ramped access, however, these guidelines are considered best practice guidelines for all types of handrail.

Extracts from HBN 00-10 Performance requirements for building elements used in healthcare facilities
HBN 00-10
(supersedes HTM 69)
This document outlines the policy and performance requirements for building elements used in healthcare facilities. These requirements are a set of essential standards of quality and safety that building elements must comply with. It supersedes Health Technical Memoranda 56, 60, 61, 64, 68 and 69. Gradus advice and recommendations for HBN 00-10 are detailed in blue text. For further details contact Gradus Technical Services on 01625 428922.
Performance Requirements:
mooth, hard, seamless and impervious surfaces are required S in clinical areas as they are easier to clean. all finishes should not comprise materials that promote or W sustain the growth of fungi and micro organisms. all finishes are to be durable and able to withstand minor W impacts without the need for additional wall protection. all finishes are to be impermeable and easily wiped over W if necessary and not be physically affected or degraded by detergents and disinfectants.
Gradus Sanparrel offers an impermeable surface finish which is easy to clean and does not support the growth of bacteria or fungus. It is 1.5mm thick and through coloured in order to resist and conceal the effects of impact and abrasion.
Requirements for impact protection:

Impact protection is intended to help reduce the incidence and severity of damage to walls and partitions in healthcare buildings so that their performance is maintained. Protection fittings include: Handrails Crash rails Buffer rails Chair Rails Corner Guards Splayed Skirtings Protective Plates and sheeting Bed buffers
Gradus wall protection products are tested for impact resistance and are designed to absorb impact without damage to the substrate. The majority of profiles are modular in design, allowing damaged covers to be easily replaced without disruption. Note: This section does not cover the need for handrails as part of a protection system, as this is covered by the clients projectspecific needs and the Equality Act 2010 (see also Health Building Note 00-04 Circulation and communication spaces). Nevertheless, this does not preclude the use of handrails as part of a protection system.
Performance Requirements:
Materials and colours should comply with the requirements of the Equality Act 2010, where appropriate. Gradus InPro wall protection profiles are available in 30 solid colours, all of which are measured for Light Reflectance Values, in order to ensure profiles can be selected to provide suitable visual contrast where required. Materials for handrails are PVC-u or timber and offer a comfortable grip with a smooth, safe finish which is not cold to the touch.

Extracts from HBN 00-04 Circulation and communication spaces
HBN 00-04
Health Building Note 00-04 provides guidance on the design of circulation and communication spaces in hospitals and other healthcare buildings, including corridors, internal lobbies and stairs, and lifts. It also provides supporting information on doors and handrails. Gradus advice and recommendations for HBN 00-04 are detailed in blue text. For further details contact Gradus Technical Services on 01625 428922.
All Gradus InPro handrails are offered with a complete range of accessories to allow continuous runs around both internal and external corners and for safe returns to walls to take into account doorways and openings (see pages 18 to 25). Handrails in association with wall protection 7.20 Where handrails and wall protectors are provided: a minimum vertical clearance of 50mm must be maintained between the handrail and wall protector (see Figures 30 and 31 opposite);
2 General design and functional requirements

Visual and colour contrast 2.9 Contrasting handrails/crash rails may be fitted to act as navigation tools The wide range of colours available allows a handrail to be selected in a colour that contrasts with the wall finish. All Gradus handrail colours have been measured to provide Light Reflectance Values* (LRV) in order to provide the specifier with information to ensure that suitable contrast is achieved. *These values have been measured using the CIE Y value in accordance with BS8493:2008+A1:2010.
Gradus InPro 3400/3500W Dual rail is designed to meet the dimensions stated (see pages 22 to 25), incorporating a 50mm clearance between the handrail and wall guard element of the profile. All other Gradus handrails and wall guards are designed to work together and can be installed to the dimensions stated. 7.22 Handrails should be: e asily visible, that is, contrast visually with the surface to which they are fixed;
The wide range of colours available allows a handrail to be selected in a colour which contrasts with the wall finish (see opposite Visual and colour contrast) smooth and free from any abrasive elements; neither too cold nor too hot to the touch.
3 Corridors
Handrails 3.29 Handrails should be fitted in main communication routes (that is, main corridors between departments) and in departmental departments as required. See specific departmental guidance for further information. See Gradus InPro handrails and combi-rails (pages 18 to 21) and Gradus InPro 3400/3500W Dual Rail (pages 22 to 25)

7 Handrails
Shape and size 7.3 Handrails should be easy to grasp; the size and shape should allow a firm but comfortable grip with the whole hand. 7.4 Handrails that are too small are uncomfortable and provide an unsatisfactory grip, whereas handrails that are too large are difficult to grip for people with weak or arthritic hands 7.5 A handrail that is round in cross section with a diameter of 40-45mm is recommended. Oval handrails with dimensions of 38mm x 50mm wide are acceptable. In both cases the longer dimension should be horizontal. 7.6 Handrails with large square or rectangular cross-section should be avoided. All Gradus InPro handrails feature a round or oval grip. The Gradus InPro 940 handrail, 450 handrail and 3400/3500W Dual Rail feature grip diameters in line with the recommendations and the guidelines in BS8300:2009 + A1:2010 and Approved Document M (2004). Shape and size 7.7 Handrails should allow enough space between the rail and the adjacent wall (or any other obstacle) for hands to pass without scraping knuckles and to aid those who want to use the rail as a support for the whole forearm. 7.8 A clearance of 60-75mm is recommended, as this allows the forearm to be rested on the rail without any danger of it getting trapped. Gradus InPro 940 handrail, 450 handrail and 3400/3500W Dual Rail meet the recommended clearance dimension. Similar guidelines can also be found in BS8300:2009 + A1:2010 and Approved Document M (2004). Provision in corridors 7.19 Handrails should return into recessed doorways and openings, but otherwise be continuous to aid navigation.

Specification & Ordering Guidelines
Handrails / Combi-rails / Dual Rail

B rackets should be placed at centres to suit the substrate (maximum 800mm), however the number of brackets should be increased if the quality and type of substrate deem it necessary. T wo additional brackets are required for every handrail / Dual Rail joint - they should be placed 100mm to either side of the join to ensure a secure finish. One extra bracket is required for every other return accessory used. One additional bracket is required for every inside/outside corner. I nPro 940 Handrail, InPro 3400 / 3500W Dual Rail, 450 Timber Handrail, SSHR45 Stainless Steel Handrail and projected Bedhead protection systems - if fixed to a dry wall / stud partition, provision should be made for a plywood patress. O utside corner accessories are recommended to continue the handrail around a corner, with the option of using a corner guard for additional protection (see illustration below). I n the event of encountering non-regular angles it may be necessary to finish at a corner using return accessories. S plices should always be used when joining multiple pieces to ensure secure, even and safe joins. (InPro only) Aluminium retainers and PVC-u covers are supplied in standard lengths to be cut on-site as required. (InPro only) I nPro Handrails / Dual Rail / Timber Handrails are supplied with all fixings to secure accessories. Guidelines for substrate fixings (not supplied) can be obtained from the Gradus Technical Services department. Note: InPro Handrails / InPro Combi-rails / InPro Dual Rail / Timber Handrails are designed for use in horizontal circulation areas and should not be specified for use on stairs, ramps or changes in level.
Wall Guards
Wall guards can be used at specific points of impact to provide direct protection or can be used at alternative levels on the wall to provide indirect protection. The use of splices to join multiple lengths of wall guard is optional. However, they are recommended for use where joins occur in areas of specific heavy impact. I t is recommended to use end caps to finish at every corner (rather than inside/outside corner accessories), with the option of using a corner guard for additional protection (see illustration below). S pacers are optional and can be used to add extra depth of protection and to take up minor undulations in the substrate. Note: Wall guards placed on spacers should not be specified as a handrail. The spacer option is not suitable for infinity systems. I nPro wall guards are supplied with all fixings to secure accessories. Guidelines for substrate fixings (not supplied) can be obtained from the Gradus Technical Services Department.
Outside / inside corner accessories are recommended to continue the handrail around corners (with the option of using a corner guard for additional protection on outside corners). For wall guards it is recommended to use end caps to nish either side of the corners (with a corner guard for extra protection on outside corners).
