“It is amazing what a little imaginative thinking can to do to change the aesthetics of an often hostile and institutionalised environment into a warmer, more welcoming, atmosphere,” says Vistamatic, a specialist vision panel supplier to both the acute and mental health sectors.
The company said: “The vision panels used to discreetly observe and monitor patients are often characterised by a standard format linear design, but this need not always be the case. Vistamatic has, for some time, offered a choice of unique abstract designs that offer the same, and occasionally a better, viewing aspect. “Our Wave design demonstrates clearly how a flowing, undulating pattern can enhance such a product’s appeal, giving it a ‘softer’ look, while having no impact on observational ability. “Similarly, with its ‘unique sunburst pattern’, our Abstract Square gives an imaginative, interesting perspective to the monitoring and observation of care users. The addition of colour, including the ability to integrate the panel into a wider colour scheme, can add further visual interest, for example creating a more soothing overall feel.” Vistamatic products are available in a variety of glass specifications, colour coordinates, and fire ratings, are specifiable in many sizes, and all come with a lifetime warranty.
