HEALTHCARE
Save money, save time, protect painted surfaces
HEALTHCARE MATTERS
With pressures on healthcare providers never greater, choosing the right products that give you great results, whilst seeing your budgets go further, reducing disruption to clinical services and helping to protect against cross contamination from harmful bacteria and other microbes has never been more important.
PROTECT SURFACES WITH LONG LASTING ANTIMICROBIAL TECHNOLOGY FOR HEALTHCARE APPLICATIONS
Nowhere is it more important to ensure hygiene than in hospitals and other healthcare settings. Healthcare associated infections (HAIs) can be deadly and represent some of the most common complications of hospital care. Contamination from “dust” or “dirt” on walls and other painted surfaces is often over-looked, but the dangers they pose can be devastating.
According to the World Health Organisation around 16 million people die every year from infections contracted in hospitals. Our Microsafe paints can complement infection control procedures.
First line of defence
Cleaning protocols will always be the first line of defence against communicable disease in hospitals, dental surgeries, care homes, GP practices or veterinary clinics. With the exceptional durability of our finishes the occurrence of loose and flaking paint reduces, thereby reducing the potential breading grounds for bacteria, fungi and moulds. What’s more our low sheen, satin and gloss finishes are scrubbable, stain resistant and washable, making cleaning quick and easy and with no deterioration to the painted surface.
Second line of defence
Hanford & Green’s antimicrobial Microsafe paints, reduce the opportunity for microbes to grow offering a second line of defence, giving you extra protection 24/7 for your walls and other painted surfaces beyond cleaning alone.
