The benefits of KrionÂ® KÂ·Life in hospital atmospheres

Although any space, which is in contact with people has to have certain hygiene and safety conditions, there are some places where health standards have to be extremely high indeed. We are talking about sanitary spaces, where every single detail which may affect the hygiene of the space is taken... into account. Whether they are clinics, hospitals, medical consultations or beauty salons; healthcare atmospheres need to bank on materials, tools and protocols which ensure bacteria-free spaces with no contaminants. The ease of contagion, along with the susceptibility of the people that go to a medical centre, results in stronger measures being taken. Thus, businessmen, architects and interior designers are increasingly banking on those solutions which enhance safety for people. Because of the need of becoming familiarised with the materials which benefit the atmospheres related to health, Hospitecnia, the prestigious architecture, engineering and hospital management website has published an article about Krion® K·Life 1100 and how the material creates better hospital atmospheres. The benefits of Krion® K·Life in Healthcare spaces The main requirement for a material to be used in public spaces is that of having been given a number of certifications by independent organizations which ensure the safety of the facilities and people alike. Krion counts on the EPD (Environmental Product Declaration): with the ecolabel type III which focuses on the impact studies during the whole service life of the material, detailing the impact which is produced in each stage of the service life. Among the huge number of benefits of Krion® K·Life 1100 for the health sector, professionals highlight the following: Bacteriostatic surface: Krion® does not allow bacteria to spread, something which is extremely important in an environment where the infection probabilities are very high. Easy-to-clean properties: Its almost zero porosity means Krion® stops dirt and contaminants getting into the material. The lack of joints is also helpful for easy cleaning since there are no hard-to-reach areas where dirt can build up. Resistance to chemicals: Health spaces have to ensure that the hygiene in the place is absolute by all means.This is the reason why materials with aggressive compounds which disinfect and kill bacteria are generally used. Krion® is resistant to these types of materials, therefore, the integrity of the surface and the durability are guaranteed. The ability to customise: In hospital centres, covering the needs which ensure the wellbeing of people is paramount. The thermoforming properties by our solid surface help with its adaption to the environment, based on the established professional requirements. The Krion® solid surface brings together the most important properties from our clients point of view, but, Krion® K·LIFE 1100, these benefits have significantly increased, up to the point where they make the environment better for people, something which is essential in any atmosphere.

Krionâ„¢ Solid Surface: the safe, hygienic surface for sanitary use

Medical centres, surgeries and hospitals are areas where it is imperative to maintain strict safety and hygiene standards. In the health sector, besides washing hands and cleaning surfaces and rooms, it is essential to choose materials that are effective in maintaining health and hygiene. Their... composition and characteristics and the design of the spaces in which they are used must help to prevent the proliferation of bacteria, fungi and pathogenic agents. The properties of the mineral compound Krion™ make it suitable for sanitary environments. The composition of this new-generation solid surface, made up of two-thirds natural minerals (ATH: Alumina Trihydrate) and a low proportion of highly resistant resin, gives it some unique characteristics: it is non-porous, bacteriostatic, durable, easy to clean and repair, and requires little maintenance. Benefits of using Krion™ Solid Surface in health centres There are multiple advantages to using Krion™ Solid Surface in the design of health centres, as it is not only hygienic and safe but also environmentally friendly. The most notable properties of this material are: 1. Bacteriostatic surface: As it is not porous there is no need to use bactericidal compounds in its composition. It thus guarantees an aseptic surface which is free of germs and prevents the proliferation of pathogenic microorganisms. Given its sterile characteristics, Krion™ is suitable for direct contact with food and medical equipment. 2. Resistance to chemical agents: Krion™ resists the aggression of chemical products used for cleaning and disinfection, protecting the surface against abrasion or changes in texture. 3. There are no joins: Krion™ allows continuous surfaces to be created without joins by means of a smooth, imperceptible seal between sections of the material, and the use of curved shapes, which can be adapted to the requirements of any space by thermoforming and moulding. These features can create sanitary environments without recesses or corners, thus preventing the accumulation of dirt, facilitating cleaning and disinfection and contributing to simpler, reduced maintenance. 4. Durability and resistance: Krion™'s physical characteristics ensure that it can withstand knocks and the edges cannot be chipped. The uniform consistency of the product means that it can be easily repaired without altering its appearance or properties. 5. Fireproof material: The mineral composition of Krion™ ensures that it is highly fire-resistant and will prevent the spread of fire, as indicated by its Euro Class B-s1-d0 certification. 6. For healthcare projects Krion™ can supply a range of sinks and washbasins with no overflow, which minimise the accumulation of dirt and bacteria, making disinfection easier. 7. Safe and sustainable: Krion™ is a 100% recyclable, environmentally-friendly material, as confirmed by certification schemes that include NSF, Greenguard, A +, BPA Free, HPD and Declare. Every small contribution counts, and together they can bring about great achievements.

The versatility of Krionâ„¢ in the Montemar Maritim Hotel Buffet

Spaces which are used for food preparation must have very high hygienic standards. The direct contact which these places have with food increases the demand for health standards to be excellent. In order to be sure that food is safe from any type of contamination in its surroundings, what is known... as cross-contamination, certain hygienic protocols are required which cover a wide range of actions. From the staff’s clothes, those who actually handle the food, and cleaning products, to surfaces on which food is handled, all the links in the food chain must follow the hygiene rules that are set out. The project by Rosa Colet Rosa Colet was the designer that oversaw the remodelling of the Montemar Maritim Hotel Buffet in Santa Susanna, Barcelona. The project itself needed an aesthetic renovation which would have a fresh, dynamic and innovative character; capable of maintaining the strict hygiene standards, synonymous with the hotel industry. The self-service and the hot and cold buffet areas needed a strong image, so the structures made of steel, iron and wood were covered with the KrionTM solid surface. The thermoformed capacity of the material allowed the tables to be shaped with original angles and volumes on which food is handled, making the area more attractive which was lit up by LED lighting in bright colours. Why was KrionTM opted for? In order to get an original aesthetic which followed health standards, versatile material was needed. According to Rosa: “On a technical level, it was essential to bank on an easy-to-clean non-porous material, on which the equipment and the cold hobs could be used”. The zero porosity by KrionTM greatly enhances food safety, because of its bacteriostatic feature, which, when joined to its cleaning capacity, turns the compact mineral into the perfect option for areas that come into contact with food. In relation to the aesthetic: “working with different joined polygonal levels which emulated origami, without any joints or intersections was sought-after”. The curving versatility of KrionTM, its formability, the backlighting and engraving capacity, made the designer confidently opt for the Solid Surface. The slight thickness of the sheets and the full-bodied condition which maintains the colour compact were also features that made the design work and the final result easier, thanks to carpintería ESVA. For Rosa Colet, banking on materials which offer the best result is vital in her projects in hotels, restaurants and shops. In this sense, the architect has used KrionTM on a large number of applications, such as: signs, bars, façades, counters, desks and furniture. With the endless possibilities that this material offers and the quality which it comes with, it always results in being a very good choice, either as the main material or as a complement. Having a famous and reputable company like the Porcelanosa Grupo means quality in design which, offers both architects and interior designers important back up in every sense of the word.
