Although any area that people come into contact with must meet certain hygiene and safety conditions for the user, there are certain places where cleanliness levels must be extreme.
We are talking about healthcare environments, where every detail that can influence the hygiene of a space counts. Be it clinics, hospitals, medical consultations or cosmetic centres, healthcare environments require materials, tools and protocols that ensure an environment free of bacteria and pollutants.
A good choice of materials is essential for preventing the spread of pathogens, such as viruses and bacteria, especially now that we are living with the COVID-19 pandemic. It is a need and a responsibility of architects, entrepreneurs and designers to generate environments that are safe for people who are going to use the hospital or other health facilities.
As a result of the need to find materials that are beneficial to health-related environments, various studies have been carried out to understand the behaviour of viruses on a Krion surface. The prestigious architecture, engineering and hospital management portal Hospitecnia has published an article about Krion® K·Life 1100 and how the material creates better hospital environments.
As a primary requirement for use in healthcare spaces, any material must have a series of certificates issued by independent bodies that guarantee the safety of the facilities and the users.
KRION has numerous health and safety certificates, including: REACH, GREENGUARD, A +, EPD, BPA FREE, as well as two certificates that give us the category of healthy product, HPD (Health Product Declaration ) and DECLARE.
In addition to certifications that guarantee the safety of this material, these are some of the advantages of Krion® K·Life for the healthcare sector highlighted by professionals:
Krion® K·Life's solid surface combines some of the properties most valued by customers; being able to improve the quality of the environment, which is fundamental in healthcare environments.
