FAQ
Yes, Knauf solutions can be tailored to accommodate the unique needs of various healthcare environments, including hospitals, clinics and care homes. These solutions are adaptable, offering custom designs, colours, perforations, sizes, and specifications that align with specific acoustic, safety and aesthetic requirements, vital for healthcare operations.
Hospitals commonly use specialised ceiling solutions that prioritise both hygiene and acoustics. Acoustic ceilings are essential for creating a peaceful environment by reducing noise, which is crucial for patient comfort and clear communication among staff.
To address stringent hygiene requirements, ceiling tiles like the BIOGUARD® and HYGENA ranges can be used. BIOGUARD® is designed for areas demanding intensive cleaning and superior hygiene, preventing the growth of numerous bacteria and fungi. HYGENA offers excellent acoustic and light reflectance properties, achieves a CP5 particle decontamination rating according to NF S 90-351:2013, and limits bacterial growth. These specialised ceiling tiles also offer practical benefits, such as easy access to utilities, supporting efficient maintenance and adaptability to evolving healthcare needs.
Mineral wool insulation is a safe product to work and live with. It has been in use for over 100 years and is one of the most well documented and tested of all building materials.
Mineral wool and health: The Facts
- Mineral wool does not pose a hazard to human health for people who work with it or live with it.
- Mineral wool fibres are bio-soluble, which means they are harmlessly cleared by the body should they be inhaled or ingested.
- Mineral wool products do not emit fibres or particles in their intended use. Tests have shown that levels of mineral wool fibres in the air of insulated buildings are often so small as to be undetectable.
Knauf Insulation’s products are low-VOC. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are emitted by construction products throughout their life – during manufacture, while being installed, and afterwards in the building. Research shows these VOCs can pose serious risks to human health. In some countries, managing VOC emissions is now mandatory. Even where it’s not yet, voluntary standards are increasing in popularity, as building owners and designers become aware of the harmful impacts of VOCs and seek to create better buildings with improved indoor environments. Progressive employers too are increasingly mindful of the risks of workplace exposure for installers.
