Healthcare facilities are obliged to ensure maximum hygiene and safety of the environments. Continuous surfaces are a material of primary importance.
Construction materials play an increasingly important role in the fight against the dreaded pathogens.
This is because they have a highly significant impact on the hygiene rules found in hospitals or other medical facilities.
Among these, the flooring certainly plays a leading role.
If we try to analyze a project for a hospital or a health facility, we can immediately see that there are numerous elements that make everything a complex unit:
– Entrances and corridors are subject to high traffic;
– Waiting rooms or spaces dedicated to visitors must have a comfortable atmosphere;
– The operating blocks must ensure maximum hygiene and, at the same time, must be easy to clean;
– Patient rooms must be welcoming as well as frequently subject to cleaning.
For these reasons the resin floor is the best solution for these structures, surpassing the limits offered by old flooring.
Classic floors, those with tiles that include sharp edges and joints, lend themselves to being at risk for hygiene and cleaning.
Medical diagnostic machinery may be present in operating theaters or hospital rooms which is important to protect from electrostatic discharges.
This is guaranteed by a continuous surface floor which, in some cases, continues as a coating on the walls.
The characteristics of the resin floors allow cleaning, sterilization, disinfection and decontamination cycles with great frequency.
Finally, the pleasant appearance of an environment certainly helps the stay and work inside.
This is possible thanks to the choice of a well-definied color.
Oltremateria has always aimed to improve the quality of life in private, public or commercial spaces and environments.
All through their own eco-resins.
On the basis of numerous studies, the Oltremateria laboratories have created Ecopur, an eco-resin certified by the major world bodies.
Ecopur releases negative ions that purify the air in the rooms, 24 hours a day, in both light and dark conditions, without energy consumption, unlike sanitizing appliances that require electricity.
The application can take place on walls, floors, furniture, parquet, natural stone, metals, wallpaper and furnishing accessories, giving the rooms a plus of well-being.
It also creates a physical barrier against bacterial and viral proliferation: a fundamental aspect in healthcare facilities.
Ecopur: protects, purifies and paints.
