Ceiling Solutions for Healthcare buildings are probably the most demanding to meeting safety, quality and maintenance performances. In relation to hygiene, the control of bio contamination and disinfection are of utmost importance in preventing the spread of infectious agents by hands, equipment, water, food, surfaces and in particular by air.
BIOGUARD is a special treatment paint that is applied to Armstrong mineral and metal tiles. BIOGUARD has been especially designed for the healthcare sector, providing protection against bio-contamination. BIOGUARD paint has additional components that prevents the build-up of virulent strains of bacteria, moulds and yeasts. BIOGUARD paint has enhanced resistance to disinfectants and provides excellent water-repellence and so allows frequent cleaning.
The CLEAN ROOM Grid is a unique, factory applied gasket that ensures a better seal between the tile and grid reducing labour cost as opposed to the use of mastic or double sided tape. CLEAN ROOM Grid can be cleaned with diluted disinfectants and is corrosion resistant due to the aluminium construction.
The provision for the right acoustic performance from a suspended ceiling can help patient privacy through sound insulation and the control of reverberation times within spaces.
Natural daylight is a highly important factor for the health of patients and staff. The use of a shallow plan design and the continuous plane of a suspended ceiling with high light reflectance lets natural light reach far into the building.
