Create Safe Spaces
to Heal, Work, Learn, Live & Play
People First
Professionals can feel confident in their working environments, knowing that we have designed and manufactured our ceiling solutions to create Safe Spaces that support them as they work.
While patients on their journey to recovery, residents in care homes, and children in nurseries benefit from bright and inspiring Safe Spaces that put wellbeing first.
Challenges
Applications
The Healthcare & Hygiene range offers performances that meet the challenges and requirements of safety-first environments while contributing to the wellbeing of end-users.
Hospitals
In hospitals, it's crucial to focus on antimicrobial performance. Keeping the building as hygienic as possible is fundamental to prevent the spread of diseases and infectious agents to vulnerable patients.
In addition, natural daylight and excellent acoustic performances are paramount to improve staff comfort and reduce patient in-time.
Care Homes
Care homes are responsible for vulnerable people with complex health and social care needs. They need to deliver person-centred care tailored to each individual. Safe and clean spaces balanced with great acoustic performances and flooded with natural light do wonders to improve the quality of care and the wellbeing of both elderly and staff.
Nurseries
Young minds need a friendly and warm atmosphere to forge new experiences. Parents will only find peace of mind if they know their little pioneers are safe to roam in an adventure-bound space. Therefore all surfaces, including ceilings, must be spotless and allow natural light to flow in. In addition, high sound absorption is vital for naptime and rest from the day's excitement.
Clean Rooms
Clean rooms are dedicated spaces to control contaminants' introduction, generation, and retention and measure the concentration of airborne particles in the air. The strictest hygiene levels and adherence to the ISO 14644 norm are required. Our ceiling ranges play a crucial role in achieving clean rooms level for companies producing electronics, semiconductors, micromechanics, optics, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals or medical devices.
Food Processing Industry
In the food industry, hygiene and safety are as stringent as in healthcare. Knauf Ceiling Solutions can provide a range of products with specific coating which limits the growth of bacteria and fungi on surfaces. Add to that great acoustics and light reflectance levels, and you can ensure these workplaces are safe and participate in the workers' wellbeing.
Performances
Performance Benefits
Products within the portfolio boast the best microbiological cleanliness class (M1) according to NF S 90-351:2013, excellent antimicrobial performances that are tested up to 8 bacteria and fungi, and versatile cleanability, from dry to steam cleaning, and resistance to disinfectants.
Well-being Benefits
Natural light improves wellness, performance, and recovery. The high light reflectance of our ceiling solutions optimises the natural light that enters a space, creating settings that favour positive physical and mental health.
Acoustic control provides an answer to unwanted noise pollution and the transfer of sounds between spaces, improving comfort, privacy, and communication when people need it most.
Design Benefits
The Healthcare and Hygiene range meets the exacting standards of hygiene-critical environments, providing a simplified portfolio of high-performing ceiling solutions with a modern white aesthetic that have been proven in the real world.
