Ceilings for Healthcare

There is increased understanding and evidence that hospital design impacts significantly on patient recovery, as well as staff wellbeing and retention. Good light, air quality and acoustic environment are key internal elements and the type of ceiling installed can have a significant impact.

High levels of noise negatively affects patient wellbeing and reduces staff productivity levels. Consequently, HTM (Health and Technical Memorandum) 2045 sets out acoustic performance criteria for sound insulation and absorption within hospitals. As acoustic performance specialists, SAS are well placed to support designers of healthcare from the earliest stages to meet regulations and exceed performance targets.
