Anti-bacterial solution provides extra protection
SAS International anti-bacterial coating for metal ceilings and architectural products is suitable for a variety of public and commercial buildings.
SAS contributed to the new design with a solution that while meeting stringent standards such as acoustics and cleanability also reflected the ethos of the client, patients, staff and design team.
In the 20-bed intensive care unit a linear plank systems with large ceiling panels highlighted the size of the open plan space.
Using large ceiling panels meant that scale was maximised and the number of joints minimised contributing to ease of cleaning.
In the larger circulation zones and corridors clip in hinge down tiles improved accessibility to services and non-perforated metal tiles were used to improve ambient acoustics creating comfortable noise free surroundings.
The design of the building reflects comfort and space, providing patients every opportunity to recover quickly.
The finished building of 16,000 m2 means that the project bypassed the normal NHS procurement process.
