                    Healthcare

                    There is increased understanding and evidence that hospital design impacts significantly on patient recovery, as well as staff wellbeing and retention. Good light, air quality and acoustic environment are key internal elements and the type of ceiling installed can have a significant impact.

                    High levels of noise inhibit patient recovery and reduce staff productivity levels. Consequently, HTM (Health and Technical Memorandum) 2045 set out acoustic performance criteria for sound insulation and absorption within hospitals.

                    Metal ceilings offer a sophisticated contemporary look, enhancing the perceived value of a building and the internal environment by staff, patients and visitors. Metal does not suffer from pattern staining or air movement defect.

                    Anti-bacterial coatings (SAS AB), applied during manufacture effectively prevents the growth of micro-organisms and control potential risk when used in conjunction with routine cleaning procedures. Ease of cleaning is an important factor in the control of infection.

                    Hospitals require seven times more mechanical and electrical services than office buildings. Metal ceiling systems allow services to be housed in the ceiling void; offering a range of different access options ceiling tiles can be easily and frequently removed without damage.
