Here at Contour, we have been blogging about the design features that we include in our LST radiators to meet these requirements.

Pencil Proof Grilles

Small items like pencils and crayons can often end up being dropped behind radiators or into radiator covers in schools and nurseries.

Contour LST radiators come pre-punched with pencil proof grilles that are designed to prevent stationary or small items from being pushed through the radiator covers where they can then get stuck and cause an issue for cleaning and heat outputs.

The grille design uses 5.5mm wide radius grilles. The radius grille design makes it easier to clean being a flat surface.

The Benefits Of Pencil Proof Grilles

A major benefit of a pencil proof grilles is that the holes are small enough that they stop children from poking their fingers through and getting caught.

There are several health and safety benefits of this because it reduces the number of accidents around LST radiators in schools and means that students are free to go about their learning without the risk of injury.

By punching the grille directly out of the casing rather than using a second proprietary grille, they are easier to clean in terms of accessibility and time. They are also stronger and have a reduced level of heat loss because the air isn’t being trapped by multiple layers of grille.

This means that pencils, crayons, pens and similar items cannot be inserted into Contour LST radiator covers.

Conclusion

With pencil proof grilles on Contour LST radiator covers, you can create a space that is safe for all.

Children will be less at risk of catching their fingers in the grilles and they will not be able to push pencils and stationary items through the grilles into the radiator covers.

The grilles are easier to clean and there is less heat loss as a result of the exclusion of a second proprietary grille.
