SCR ceiling coating to Keep Clean after
Deep Clean

Coated ceiling will inhibit the growth of certain bacteria (including MRSA) by up to 99.9%

This newly launched technology ensures that your coated ceiling will inhibit the growth of certain bacteria (including MRSA) by up to 99.9%, 24 hours a day, for the life of the coated ceiling The Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, pledged at the Labour party conference in September that all hospitals in England would be deep-cleaned by the end of March

He said this would involve cleaning hospitals "a ward at a time", with "walls, ceilings, fittings and ventilation shafts ..".

"disinfected and scrubbed clean".

At least 13 NHS hospitals failed to meet the deadline for a deep clean to tackle superbugs such as MRSA.

Even if your local hospital met its deep clean target date, it may have been a futile exercise if the deep-cleaning programme is not followed up with a regular validated cleaning regime to assist with the ongoing fight against known superbugs such as MRSA.

A hospital ward or department can be recontaminated the moment people are allowed back into the previously cleaned area.

There is one area within the hospital that is almost impossible to clean on a regular basis without causing untold disruption to the ward or department........that being the suspended ceiling, hence the reason why approximately 75% of suspended ceilings have some form of visible discolouration, brought about by water staining, dust settlement and tradesmen's handprints.

SCR's ceiling coatings can be applied to a complete ceiling (SCR Service) or localized from the SO-10 spray can version to cover stains on individual tiles (SCR Safeguard).

All coatings incorporate Biocote antimicrobial Silver Ion Technology.

Not only will existing ceiling tiles be returned to their original "like-new" appearance, the existing grid will also be coated, providing the added security that the complete ceiling is a perpetual defence mechanism against bacterial contamination.

Applied with minimum disruption to the hospital ward, department and/or corridor, SCR coatings save approximately 75% of the costs when compared to replacement ceiling tiles.

In the past month SCR has increased its turnover within the UK hospital market tenfold due to the simplicity of application and the inherent antimicrobial capabilities of the system.

Mark Beighton, Managing Director of SCR comments: "To back up the work being performed under the compulsory Deep Clean Initiative we focussed on developing a product which is easy to apply, will minimise costs and critically, for environments where cross contamination must be avoided, we developed a coating that will assist in inhibiting the growth of bacteria for the lifetime of the coating" SCR are offering a free no obligation ceiling condition survey.
