Creating a safe and productive work environment
At Clansman Interiors Limited we work hard to support our clients and offer great service and solutions at all times and recent months have certainly presented new and testing challenges to us all.
One of the key challenges facing many businesses at this time is ensuring that staff can get back to work in a safe and productive environment as quickly as possible. With this in mind, Clansman has been working with our suppliers and sub-contractors to identify some products which can be applied to most, if not all, workplaces.

- Proven in the field to be 96.4% cleaner than standard door handles (independently tested)
- No chemicals or poisons – simply harmless silver ions
- Can help improve hygiene and reduce costly staff sickness & disruption – The annual cost of a handle is less than the cost of even a single days’ basic salary at the Minimum Wage Rate
- Lasts 6 months (based on average usage) once fitted, with timestrip indicator to prompt replacement when needed
- Extremely robust and sturdy, with no maintenance required
- Stylish look to complement your existing door handles

How it Works – It’s as simple as 1,2,3
- Microbes are deposited onto the door handle by users
- Silver ions (Ag) penetrate the cell membrane of the microbe
- The ions suffocate the microbe and attack it’s DNA to prevent reproduction of common microbes found on door furniture include E-coli, Salmonella, Camplylobacteur and Staph Aureus.
