K2500

Benefits

• Designed with safety in mind, the K2500 fixed curtain track prevents service users from removing it and using it inappropriately, making it well-suited for mental health environments.
• Can be face-fixed to a wall or top-fixed within a window recess.
• The K2500 is supplied with two types of patented anti-ligature gliders as standard: K2504 heavy-weight gliders (grey) and K2501 low-weight gliders (white). The standard installation uses a mixture of the two gliders, achieving a 15kg release weight. When the track is fitted using only the K2504 heavy-duty gliders (grey), it can support a load up to 20kg, whereas using only the K2501 low-weight gliders (white) supports a weight up to 10kg.
• The smooth operation of the anti-ligature gliders ensures ease of use and reduces the chance of the curtain being pulled down due to heavy manual handling.
• The load release gliders stay within the track making the curtain easy to re-install if removed. Alternative systems on the market don’t benefit from this, meaning their gliders must be reattached to the track one by one.
• Our design also ensures there is less plastic in the curtain when it is separated from the track, making it safer for high-risk settings.
• Our reduced-ligature curtain track doesn’t provide the service user with any hooks to swallow or use on other tracks. With other tracks, there’s a risk that gliders can be swapped to increase the release weight.
• There are no large gaps between the gliders keeping the appearance of the curtain consistent. No large plastic parts can be removed from the curtain or the track.
• The reduced ligature curtain track is easy to install, wipe-clean and requires little maintenance.
• The premium aluminium track comes as standard in white with rounded end brackets.  Pin hex anti-tamper security screws are secured into countersunk fixing holes at 150mm intervals to provide a tight fit to the wall or ceiling. Supplied with 16 anti-ligature gliders per meter for a smooth curtain pull.

*Load release safety tests were conducted with 3mm wide curtain hooks. Curtains are not supplied.

Specification

The reduced ligature Kestrel® K2500 safety window curtain track as manufactured by Just Fabrics from powder-coated white aluminium, installed using tamper-proof screws and comes as standard with anti-ligature plastic curtain gliders.

O+M Guidance

It is an NHS requirement that items suspended on load-release support systems should be maintained and load-tested in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions on an annual basis. The Kestrel^® system’s performance remains constant even after repeated use. It is a requirement, however, to carry out a physical inspection and testing of Kestrel^® fittings to identify any possible damage or evidence of tampering and undertake an annual load test.

Safety Note

Sensitive electronic equipment may be damaged by proximity to a magnetic field and should not come within 150mm of the underside of the brackets. Any load-release device, by its nature, may cause damage when operated. Articles suspended from the Kestrel^® magnetic anti-ligature system will come down when pulled.

Kestrel^® products are designed as standalone products only. Care should be taken when assessing or arranging a room to ensure that Kestrel^® products cannot be misused in conjunction with any other item, furniture or fixings in the room. It is the responsibility of the end-user or client to ensure the product is suitable for the environment it is being installed in. Kestrel^® products must be fitted by a qualified professional following the manufacturer’s instructions. Failure to do so could jeopardise the product’s effectiveness as an anti-ligature system.
