In the demanding environment of medical facilities, maintaining a clean and hygienic atmosphere is paramount. That includes the quality and durability of the paint used on the walls. Fleetwood Paints was asked to come up with a practical, hygienic, and aesthetically pleasing solution for Blackrock Health Clinic.
To achieve this difficult balance, Fleetwood’s team of experts suggested a combination of Fleetwood Acrylic Eggshell, Fleetwood Easy Clean Washable Matt, and Fleetwood Bio Tec 2-Pack paints, all of which provide superior protection and longevity.
Understanding the Paint Maintenance Cycle
Medical centres and clinics experience high traffic, constant cleaning, and exposure to chemicals.
This can make maintaining painted surfaces challenging. The paint maintenance cycle typically involves cleaning, disinfecting, and occasionally repainting walls. Selecting the right products that can withstand these frequent cleaning protocols is vital to creating a clean and welcoming environment that makes patients and visitors feel at ease. As part of the solution, Fleetwood and Blackrock Health Clinic chose the following different paints for specific areas of the building:
Fleetwood Acrylic Eggshell
This top-quality paint is designed for high-traffic areas such as corridors and waiting rooms. Its durable formulation offers exceptional scuff and stain resistance, ensuring the walls stay vibrant and fresh for longer periods. With its low sheen finish, it provides a smooth, attractive appearance, while the paint’s quick-drying nature and low-odour and low-VOC construction minimise disruption during application, allowing the clinic to function while sections are being refurbished. Fleetwood Easy Clean Washable Matt: Promoting Hygiene
Maintaining hygiene is crucial in a medical setting. The walls need to withstand frequent cleaning without losing their aesthetic appeal. Fleetwood Easy Clean Washable Matt is a revolutionary paint that is washable without compromising the colour or finish. The paint’s advanced technology creates a protective barrier, preventing dirt and stains from adhering to the surface. It not only simplifies cleaning protocols but also contributes to the overall cleanliness and health of the hospital environment. The low-odour formula also makes it suitable for a building that is trying to create a stress-free and comfortable environment for vulnerable patients.
Fleetwood Bio Tec 2-Pack Semigloss: Exceptional Durability and Cleanliness
In sensitive areas such as operating theatres, isolation rooms, and critical care units, maintaining a germ-free environment is vital, especially as patients using these areas often have compromised immune systems. Fleetwood Bio Tec 2-Pack Semigloss paint is a high-performance, robust paint combining antimicrobial protection into its construction. Its innovative formula uses Silver Ion technology to inhibit the growth of MRSA, E. Coli and other bacteria, fungi, and mould, ensuring a cleaner and safer space. The paint’s exceptionally hard-wearing properties and resistance to harsh cleaning agents make it ideal for sterile areas.
