Request a Quote
Ortho Rhode Island needed to renovate its Providence office to improve the patient experience. The goal was to create a more spacious and efficient environment while maintaining its commitment to world-class orthopedic care. HDI Railings partnered to deliver a modern, minimalist railing system that matched the upgraded, patient-centered design.
Railing System: Optik™ Shoe & Boss
Location: Providence, RI.
Architect: 3Six0 Architecture
Contractor: H.V. Collins
HDI Railings installed the Optik Boss and Optik Shoe systems, adding a clean, contemporary look to the space. The Optik Boss system was side-mounted to steel on the stairs, creating a sleek “floating glass” effect. The system’s stainless steel bosses and minimal hardware kept the view open and unobstructed.
Boosting Durability and Safety
For the walkways, the Optik Shoe system was surface-mounted, with a stainless steel-covered channel supporting the glass panels. Both systems used 9/16” laminated tempered glass with an SGP (SentryGlas® Plus) interlayer. An SGP interlayer significantly increases the durability and safety of the railings.
SGP is 100 times more rigid and 5 times more tear-resistant than PVB, making it an ideal choice for high-traffic areas. Its weather-resistant properties also allow it to withstand moisture, a critical factor in frameless, laminated glass applications.
The stainless steel and glass railings enhanced safety while providing a minimalist, clean aesthetic that aligned with Ortho Rhode Island’s vision for a patient-centered environment.
Enhancing Flow and Functionality with HDI Railings
HDI Railings further enhanced the space’s flow, from seating areas to exam rooms, improving overall functionality. The renovation transformed Ortho Rhode Island’s Providence office into a more welcoming and efficient space, reinforcing its commitment to excellence in patient care.
