Engineered with Hygiene in Mind

Contour understands the vital role hygiene plays in settings such as healthcare and education. That’s why our radiator guards and anti-ligature products feature BioCote® anti-microbial protection as standard. This patented additive is proven to inhibit the growth of harmful microbes, helping to reduce infection risks and support cleaning protocols.

The result? Heating systems that actively contribute to infection control and safer clinical environments.

Designed for Compliance and Performance

All Contour solutions are designed to meet or exceed relevant standards in health and safety, anti-ligature protection, infection control, and heating performance. From HTM 64 and 69 to the latest NHS and Department for Education guidelines, specifiers can be confident in the compliance credentials of every Contour product.

We also provide detailed technical data, test results and BIM/CAD files to assist with specification and design planning.

Contour prides itself on its collaborative, solutions-led approach. We understand the technical and logistical complexities that specifiers and estates teams face, particularly on sensitive or operational sites.
