Resilient healthcare design encompasses nonporous and easy to clean finishes, and versatile timeless looks to create family-friendly spaces that accommodate all types of patients. Furniture designs and design materials, especially for healthcare, should be focused on infection control. Hospitals and other medical facilities are in place to help sick patients get well. Furniture design that supports the main objective of health is essential. Let’s take a closer look at some of the factors that can help to evaluate and compare different types of resilient furniture design for healthcare environments.
Cleanable equates to peace of mind
It should be a given that all furniture in healthcare spaces should be easy to clean and disinfect, however all furniture can’t really make that claim. You’ve been to the doctor’s office and seen the wear and tear on the waiting room chair arms. And that’s probably when you start to question your decision to be there. The wear and tear of porous wood furniture makes it difficult to keep clean. Not so with Kwalu’s proprietary material finishes, which are healthcare chemical cleanable and maintain their like-new looks for a decade.
Durable is the definition of resilient
Healthcare furniture should be able to withstand frequent use, and harsh cleaning agents. Furniture that is made of high-quality materials, has strong joints, and frames, and has minimal seams and gaps, will last longer, and perform better. Resilient design in healthcare furniture is durable. Seating like any in Kwalu’s Valdina Collection with its durable and cleanable finishes will extend the life of your wait space.
Pleasing aesthetics extend a welcome
Create a positive a welcoming atmosphere for visitors and staff as well as patients with furniture that is attractive, colorful and has style. Those features will enhance the mood, raise spirits, and bring overall satisfaction for the users. The Modena Collection of healthcare seating and tables will create a cohesive look to any healthcare wait space.
