Hospital and clinic buildings, for the most part, have been left to us as a legacy from builders of the past century who used the materials available at the time to furnish the premises. Today’s renovation and reconstruction of medical facilities involve the use of building materials that ensure their longevity, good operational properties, as well as the safety of doctors and patients.

REQUIREMENTS FOR CEILINGS IN HOSPITALS AND CLINICS

Ceilings in hospitals and clinics play an important role in creating a safe and comfortable environment for patients and medical staff. The requirements for such ceilings go beyond aesthetic aspects and include a range of functional and technical parameters aimed at ensuring the efficient operation of the medical facility. Some of the main requirements for ceilings in hospitals and clinics include:

• Hygiene: Sterility and ease of cleaning are extremely important requirements as they prevent the spread of infections and contaminants in medical premises.
• Acoustic efficiency: Ceilings should have high sound absorption to avoid echo and provide a comfortable acoustic environment for patients and staff.
• Fire resistance: Considering the large number of electronic devices and flammable materials in medical facilities, ceilings must have a high level of fire resistance.
• Ergonomics: Ceilings should be easy to install and maintain, simplifying the work of the staff and reducing maintenance costs.
• Energy efficiency: Using ceilings with energy-efficient lighting fixtures helps reduce electricity consumption and heating costs, which is important for reducing the operating costs of a medical facility.

All of these factors are taken into account by the specialists of the MEHBUD manufacturing enterprise when developing ceiling solutions for furnishing hospital and clinic premises:

1. Corridors – perforated metal rack and panel ceilings should be installed in hospital and clinic corridors. In addition to their very high operational qualities, the former are capable of reducing the “echo effect” and absorbing background noise, which is often created in places with a large number of visitors.

2. Hospital wards, procedure rooms, restrooms.

WHAT METAL SUSPENDED CEILINGS PROVIDE FOR MEDICAL FACILITIES?

1. Perfect cleanliness.

Metal panels and racks are made of aluminum and galvanized steel – this is an absolutely smooth surface, which is also resistant to the effects of cleaning agents, including those containing active components. Therefore, regular ceiling cleaning will not lead to a decrease in coating quality.

2. Prevention of the spread of harmful microorganisms and fungal infections.

The possibility of regular disinfection of metal suspended ceiling panels and the presence of an effective ventilation system in the room will prevent the entry of micro-particles into the ceiling space and their further movement in the premises.

3. Clean and fresh air.

The material from which the MEHBUD metal ceilings are made has antistatic properties and promotes free air circulation in the room.

4. Good illumination.

Thanks to the good light-reflecting qualities of metal cassettes and panels, the premises are well lit during the daytime. All metal ceilings from MEHBUD allow for easy installation of all types of luminaires, ensuring general lighting of at least 100 lux and workplace lighting of at least 300 lux.

The products used by the enterprise in the production of metal suspended ceilings have the necessary approvals from regulatory authorities.

DESIGN OPTIONS

Here are a few design options and colors for suspended ceilings in medical facilities:

Minimalistic style:
Color: white or light shade to ensure maximum illumination and visual space.
Design: simple, smooth surfaces without unnecessary decorative elements, promoting a sense of lightness and cleanliness.

Modern style:
Color: gray or anthracite, adding distinctiveness and style to the room.
Design: geometric shapes, the possibility of using glass inserts to add elegance and modernity.

Neutral style:
Color: beige or light brown, creating an atmosphere of calmness and comfort.
Design: natural textures and materials that provide warmth and naturalness to the room.

Contrast style:
Color: a combination of bright and dark shades, such as black and white, to create a striking interior.
Design: geometric patterns or visual effects that attract attention and create a dynamic image.

These options can be further adapted to the specific needs and styles of medical institutions, ensuring excellent aesthetics and functionality.

ADVANTAGES OF SUSPENDED CEILINGS IN MEDICAL FACILITIES

Suspended ceilings in medical institutions serve not only as an aesthetic element but also as an important functional component that plays a crucial role in creating a comfortable and safe environment for patients and medical staff. Specifically, highlighting the metal ceilings from the Mehbud factory, the following advantages can be noted:

1. Strength and reliability: Metal ceilings are characterized by high strength and durability, making them ideal for use in medical facilities. They withstand heavy loads and provide stability and reliability in any operating conditions.
2. Easy maintenance: Metal ceilings are easy to clean and disinfect, making them ideal for use in medical facilities where maintaining high hygiene standards is crucial.
3. Aesthetics and design: Mehbud’s metal ceilings have a modern appearance and elegant design that blends seamlessly with the interior of medical facilities. They create an atmosphere of comfort and safety, making patients’ stay more pleasant and convenient.
4. Acoustic properties: Metal ceilings can be equipped with special acoustic materials that improve sound insulation and reduce noise levels, allowing for a quiet and peaceful environment for patients.

Considering these advantages, the use of metal ceilings in medical facilities becomes an optimal choice to ensure the comfort and safety of all users of the premises.

CONCLUSION

Suspended ceilings play an important role in promoting health and comfort in medical facilities. They not only add aesthetics and modernity to the interior of the premises but also have a number of functional advantages that contribute to creating a favorable environment for patients and medical staff.
