Transforming Clinical Spaces into Healing Environments
Studies have shown that in a healthcare environment, colour has a major role to play in wellness.
Soothing colours can turn a clinical ward or care setting into a place where patients feel safe, secure, and relaxed. This, in turn, can aid recovery and ensure both physical and mental health.
Fleetwood Paints has spent decades creating a range of specialist paints that are not only proven to reduce and inhibit the growth of bacteria, but also eliminate cold, sterile colour schemes and replace them with warm, comfortable and relaxing colours.
Where Colour Meets Care
Colour – sending the right message
Your choice of colours not only aligns with your brand but also demonstrates that you care about your environment and its effect on both patients and visitors.
Colour schemes can deliver another practical application by making it easier for visitors to find their way around and creating specific zones.
To do all this, you need to use the right paint. If your portfolio includes working with care homes, hospitals, clinics and surgeries, Fleetwood professional-quality paints are your number one choice. With ultra-low VOC and low-odour paints that have been clinically proven to improve air quality and remove indoor air pollutants, Fleetwood paints are both practical and aesthetically pleasing.
Fast-drying and with a huge range of colours and finishes, Fleetwood paints are the natural option for clinical environments.
Fleetwood Bio Tec Silver Ion Technology
We have introduced ground-breaking Silver Ion Technology into our Bio Tec range of paints. This revolutionary system uses Silver Ions to break down the cellular structure of bacteria, fundamentally starving them of nutrients and inhibiting the growth of common bacteria, including MRSA, E.coli and Salmonella.
In a healthcare setting, knowing that your walls are effectively enhancing the health and safety of your patients is reassuring.
Highly scrubbable and resistant to chemical and abrasion attacks, our paints designed for clinical environments are the solution to the challenge of maintaining the well-being and health of patients, staff and visitors.
Purifying indoor air quality
Fleetwood Air + Eco Spec is an advanced paint formula that actively purifies the air quality of indoor spaces. This washable paint effectively traps harmful VOCs and removes toxic chemicals such as formaldehyde from the air, eliminating up to 80% of pollutants.
Ultra-low VOC and odour levels enable refurbishment to be carried out while patients and staff are in situ, minimising the impact on the daily operations of a busy care environment.
Care Homes
Care homes have a complex role to fulfil. Not only are they clinically focused, but the ambience has to make residents feel like they are in a place they can truly call home.
The décor of a care home needs to achieve two key elements – it has to be aesthetically pleasing, and also hard-wearing and hygienic. This is where Fleetwood Paints excels, delivering tested and certified ultra-low VOC and low-odour paints that have been proven to improve indoor air quality.
Hospitals
While every hospital is different, they all serve the same purpose – to offer a caring, safe and reassuring environment for those in need. From minor accidents to palliative care, hospitals are diverse and complex organisations, where patients can feel lost and vulnerable.
Creating a reassuring and welcoming environment that helps anxious patients and visitors to relax is paramount.
Choosing the right paints for hospitals plays a key role in achieving the best care standards for patients, visitors and staff. The right paint has to have the right properties, both aesthetically and functionally. That means selecting scrubbable paint for high-traffic areas, paints that actively remove pollutants from the air and inhibit the growth of bacteria, and fire-retardant paints that conform to all current H&S standards.
Medical Clinics
Medical Clinics are used by all ages, so the priorities are creating a welcoming and comfortable environment that’s also easy to keep clean and hygienic. Bright corners with plenty of fun elements can keep little ones distracted and happy, while calming colours help to soothe people and reduce anxiety.
Medical clinics are also where you’ll encounter coughs, colds and bugs that can spread easily, so hygiene and a healthy environment with superior indoor air quality are just as important as aesthetics.
