Modular Casework in the Healthcare Environment

December 9, 2010

Does your healthcare facility have exam rooms, procedure rooms, reception stations, pharmacies, or laboratories? Hubs of all things important that need to be safely and efficiently stored? A place where points-of-need collide with points-of-care? There are few things more direly important than an organized and efficient healthcare facility.

Concert Architectural Interiors is a provider of modular medical caseworks by Hamilton Sorter, of which efficient, functional and organized healthcare facilities are our specialty.

The best part about the healthcare storage solutions we offer other than the uncompromisable quality? Each installation carries a limited lifetime warranty. The modularity of the storage system (which allows you to transform your solution into virtually any type of application) isn’t such a bad feature either.

BONUS: You can choose from powder-coated steel, laminate, thermofoil and stainless steel. Worksurfaces are available in practically any resilient material you can think up – so your environment is custom. We also offer modular casework solutions with antimicrobial finishes for extra protection.

You may be thinking, “Why would I choose modular casework for my healthcare facility over millwork?” Here’s 6 answers to that question from the blog “Stuff Matters” by Patterson Pope to consider for your next project, big or small:

It’s factory produced – The manufacturing of modular casework takes place in a controlled environment with computer generated machinery that can make precision cuts and guarantee measurements.
It’s quickly installed – Modular casework ships in modules that are ready to install, cutting the installation time to about half that of millwork.
It’s reconfigurable – Unless there are seismic concerns, modular casework is not actually bolted to the wall or floors. The base cabinets are leveled and ganged together. The upper wall cabinets are fastened to a zip rail. The modules do not have to be damaged or disassembled in order to reconfigure or relocate – making it very easy to reuse when needs change.
It’s repairable – Doors, drawers, hinges, and end panels are much easier to repair than traditional millwork, because modular casework components are engineered to disassemble and reattach.
It’s depreciable – Modular casework is treated like furniture and depreciates on a seven year schedule (as opposed to millwork, which is classified as permanent construction and requires 39 years to depreciate.)
It’s specifiable – Drawing millwork is a tedious, time consuming task. But modular casework can be drawn in software by a local representative. Or, with BIM software, it is simple to drag and drop your options into a space with ease, assuring that you get the design you intend.

Modular Casework for Your Next Mailroom Center

June 28, 2010

Does your office have a mail center, a copy center, or an area where documents are processed? A hub of all things documented? A place where paper flow meets a need for organized circulation? There are few things in the workplace environment more frightening than a messy and inefficient mailroom center through which all your important active documents can and do flow.

Concert Architectural Interiors is a provider of modular caseworks by Hamilton Sorter, of which efficient, functional and organized mailrooms are our specialty.

The best part about the mailroom storage solutions we offer other than the uncompromisable quality? Each installation carries a limited lifetime warranty. The modularity of the storage system (which allows you to transform your solution to virtually any type of need you may have) isn’t such a bad feature either.

TIP: Color-coding enhances sorting accuracy. Choose from 10 assorted color index strips for your active document stations.

You may be thinking, “Why would I choose modular casework for my active document areas over millwork?” Here’s 6 answers to that question from the blog “Stuff Matters” by Patterson Pope to consider for your next project:

It’s factory produced – The manufacturing of Modular Casework takes place in a controlled environment with computer generated machinery that can make precision cuts and guarantee measurements.

Available on Concert’s GSA SDVOSB Contract

Concert Architectural Interiors has two new Revit models available today to make drawing and specifying easier for Architects and Designers; the Universal Weapons Rack and 4-Post Shelving! Now incorporating sustainable interior solutions for your environment is easier. For more of Concert’s models, check out the new ”Resources” page :: http://www.concertai.com/resources.php. See below for new models:

UNIVERSAL WEAPONS RACK

Rigidity. Security. The Spacesaver UWR weapons rack storage system exceeds military requirements for the secure storage of conventional arms, explosives, and ammunitions by utilizing a heavy-gauge steel, perforated cabinet frame. With the ability to store multiple weapons in one system, you do not need to zero or disassemble weapons, whether you are storing rifles, side arms, gear bags, optics, or otherwise. Smart.

4-POST SHELVING

Versatile & Adaptive. You can store virtually anything in Spacesaver 4-Post Shelving by the simple customizable and functional utility options. Individual shelving units are equipped with the ability to have lockable doors, bins or pull-out reference shelves as well as storage and file drawers for a multitude of any media format requirements you may have. Spacesaver 4-Post Shelving can also be enhanced for extra system stability and safety with anti-tip devices that help with seismic requirements – even in earthquake prone areas.
