Purus’ Minimax specified in Romanian hospital
Rădăuți Municipal Hospital in Romania is the latest project on the international stage to specify Purus’ Minimax 50 floor gullies for use in a healthcare setting.
These compact gullies come complete and ready for installation into vinyl flooring; with a cleanliness and hygiene regime which is easy to follow and maintain, making them the ideal fit for the hospital environment. For the same reasons, these gullies and others in Purus’ range are installed in dozens of healthcare facilities, including hospitals and care homes, in the UK and worldwide each year.
Why do healthcare projects keep specifying Purus?
When selecting floor drains for healthcare environments; hygiene, quality and system compatibility are crucial. For this project, Purus’ Minimax 50 was the perfect solution:
1. System compatibility with vinyl flooring
The Minimax 50 is well suited for installation with vinyl flooring due to its integrated clamping ring, which sits below the grate and creates a watertight seal between the flooring and the drain. On this project, Tarkett’s ‘Tapiflex Platinum’ and ‘Granit Multisafe’ styles were clamped seamlessly into the gully.
2. Hygienic design
The gully is manufactured in polypropylene (PP) and has smooth surfaces throughout, making it easy to clean and meeting healthcare environments’ hygiene and maintenance requirements.
3. Proven quality in public environments
The Purus brand is well established in healthcare and hygiene-sensitive environments, where operational reliability and long service life are essential. The NOOD no-odour water trap, part of the Minimax 50, has become a critical feature for healthcare settings, acting as an air admittance valve and preventing smells from escaping the pipework, even when it is left to dry out.
4. Technical support and customer service
Technical support from product discovery and specification through to installation. Purus’ Export department provided expert guidance to the contractors of the Rădăuți Municipal Hospital; just as the UK office do for our domestic customers and projects.
