Why Metal Ceilings for Healthcare May Be A Better Option

When designing spaces within healthcare facilities there are a wide range of criteria that should be taken into account, including the materials used. While hygiene, fire, and acoustic performance are essential standards to be met, fundamental elements of design can deliver the sought-after sense of wellbeing, for both patients, family and healthcare workers. The big question is, have you considered how metal could provide a greater sense of wellbeing?

From proprietary modular lay-in systems to more configurable solutions, a metal ceiling can provide value-driven options at either end of the spectrum:

Durability – It is not a surprise to many that metal is far more durable than traditional ACT ceiling systems. Metal will easily provide a 25 year lifespan without concerns of material breakdown.

Hygiene & Maintenance – Due to its strength, metal can be vigorously cleaned, sanitized and maintained with continual access without degradation or damage. Anti-microbial finishes can also be applied, yet further enhancing the hygienic performance.

Acoustics – You will not have to sacrifice acoustical control with a metal option (counter to some perceptions). Ensure clarity of communication and an optimal environment for patient recovery with up to 1.0 NRC performance.

Integration – Metal systems will integrate cleanly and efficiently and meet the wide range of services a modern healthcare facility demands. From mechanical and electrical equipment, through to curtain tracks and privacy modules.

By utilizing metal suspended ceilings in your building, you can provide the optimal environment for patient recovery and staff satisfaction. Easily accommodating the commercial constraints within the construction of modern healthcare facilities, metal ceilings ensure the space will remain as easy to operate and maintain as the day it opened.
