Door handle 115

The importance of the subject of hygiene is becoming more and more important in the fields of architecture and construction. Architects and planners are increasingly focusing on this aspect, particularly when designing highly frequented buildings and rooms in the public sector.

One of the most common ways in which bacteria and viruses are transmitted to humans is via the door handle. Germs get on your hand when you cough and sneeze, and many people leave them on door handles when they touch them.
Germs spread rapidly, particularly in highly frequented buildings such as offices, educational and healthcare facilities as well as shopping centres or sports facilities.

For HEWI, design and function are closely linked. This design philosophy is also reflected in solutions and products when it comes to hygiene.
With the clever design of lever handle 115 and a special surface, HEWI enables optimum hygiene at the door.

The lever handle 115 can be easily operated with the elbow thanks to its clever ergonomic design. The user opens the door by the elbow handle without touching the door handle with the hand.
The learned look of the lever handle allows intuitive operation with the elbow when closing and opening doors.

Good to know: The rounded shape of the lever handle is easy to grip even when operated by hand and prevents slipping. The U-shape also prevents clothes from getting caught in passing.

 

Optimum hygiene thanks to antimicrobial surface

The lever handle 115 is also available in the active+ variant on request and enables a further plus in hygiene.

It is not always possible to operate a lever handle with the elbow. In this case, the antimicrobial surface of active+ provides additional hygiene at the door.

The active+ process has already been used successfully for years in buildings with strict hygiene requirements such as hospitals and nursing homes. Especially in these facilities, optimal hygiene is important for patients and residents with a weakened immune system
