Hospitals

It’s well known that our surroundings have a huge impact on our health. Medical studies have shown that health outcomes are greatly improved when hospitals are specifically designed to support a patient’s wellbeing. The space must also be practically designed for medical staff to conduct their life-saving work and for visitors to feel calm, comfortable and safe. Easy navigation throughout the facility is vital.

Laboratories and research facilities

Lab designs are experiencing many new trends from flexible open laboratories that can keep up with ever-changing lab technologies to the use of new ‘in-between’ social spaces designed to encourage spontaneous interactions between research teams. Architects and designers undertaking new laboratory facilities projects need to identify solutions to build effective “Team Science” oriented communities.

Clinics, dental and out-patient facilities

The healthcare industry is embracing the trend of moving out-patient services from traditional, larger hospitals to more consumer-friendly environments. In some cases, this trend has been shown to create operational efficiencies and improve clinical outcomes, such as decreased re-admittance rates.

Hospital Furniture

The top priority in designing hospital furniture is cleanliness and infection control. Using high-performance materials with antibacterial protection is vital. Surfaces such as our Stratificato compact laminates do not absorb spills, retard the growth of bacteria and are easily wiped clean, making them ideal for use in high-risk areas.

As a high-traffic area

hospital furniture and benches needs to be durable, with low maintenance costs.

Did you know…

all of our timber grain HPL can be manufactured in a flat finish, making it easier to clean?

Nurse stations

should stand out and be easily identifiable. This can be achieved with our custom-designed digital print surfaces.

Lifts

A lift can be one of the most important elements in a hospital. It can literally save lives as well as move people and goods. It also usually serves as a source of information, with a directory of departments and floors. Whether you want your lift to make a statement or blend into its surroundings, our extensive range of finishes will meet your needs.

Way Finding

Using accent colours or custom designed surfaces that tie in with department corridors and reception desks is a great idea to aid wayfinding.

Labs

Laboratory counters are the lifeblood of a medical facility. They are used for education, inspection, research and development, technology and testing, as well as storing equipment and tools. For a medical lab bench, look for something that has high bacterial, chemical and fungal resistance, is durable, waterproof and scratch resistant. We recommend our lab range by ABET Laminati.

Did you know…

our colours and textures are plentiful to tie in with the overall scheme and come in a door sheet size.

Doors

need to be low maintenance, durable and antibacterial, to reduce the risk of infection transfer from the high amount of contact.
