Ceiling Fitters Near My Blackpool Hospital
JCS are the local specialist
suspended ceiling installation people for Blackpool hospitals and healthcare
facilities.
There are many benefits to replacing
or installing a suspended ceiling in your Blackpool health facility. It can cut
energy costs. It can create a brighter space by reflecting more natural light.
It can dampen echo and support soundproofing.
But in Blackpool’s hospitals,
surgeries and clinics, no benefit is quite so vital as its ability to protect patients
and staff from fire.
And for almost 50 years, JCS have been
the Fylde Coast’s local suspended ceiling fitters and specialists in fire compliance.
Is your suspended ceiling fire compliant?
Suspended ceilings are used widely
across healthcare facilities in Blackpool. Many may have been in place for
years, sometimes decades. And many tiles will have become stained, cracked or otherwise
damaged following years of performance.
But fire regulations have changed. Here’s
just one example: if you’re installing a suspended ceiling below timber or a
mezzanine, you’ll now need to use a thicker (19mm) ceiling tile, giving you 60
minutes’ fire resistance with the tile unclipped.
What’s more, a damaged tile will not
deliver the protection of a new, pristine tile. And where the ceiling contains
lights, insulation or anything else, each component will also have to meet fire
resistance standards.
Fortunately at JCS, we make it easy to
meet your suspended ceiling compliance requirements. Our experts can not only
install your ceiling; they can advise you on the latest requirements and the
products and installation processes to ensure you meet them.

More safety for your Blackpool
hospital, clinic or surgery’s suspended ceiling
Remember, the
fire safety of your Blackpool healthcare facility’s ceiling is only as good as
its weakest element. That’s why every element needs careful selection and
fitting:
- Flame retardant insulation pads: Insulation pads can reduce heat loss, cut energy
bills and create a warmer space – handy in draughty hospital buildings -
but pads need to offer the same or better fire retardancy as the ceiling
tile.
- TP(a) rated LED lighting panels: TP(a) rated lights are manufactured from a material
which, when subjected to flame, must self-extinguish and not still be
glowing or flaming for more than five seconds after the flame has been
removed.
- Suspended ceiling light fire hood: Fire hoods sit above the lights within your
suspended ceiling, giving 60 minutes’ protection against the spread of
fire in the event of the light overheating.
- TP(a) rated prismatic diffuser panels: Diffusers are plastic screens
covering ceiling light units which help scatter the light and reduce glare.
They are particularly beneficial for staff working on screens. TP(a) rated
diffusers, as with the lights themselves, inhibit the spread of fire.
