The positive effects of a comfortable and welcoming healthcare environment on patients’ wellbeing and recovery times have been known for some time.
A wealth of advice is available, including guidance from the Department of Health and NHS Estates, emphasising the importance of integrating art into hospital design, to help reduce the physical and emotional stress of patients and staff.
Studies show that, depending on the use of the area, carefully selected artwork can achieve a variety of desired effects - relaxing, distracting, or stimulating. Artwork can also be used to support reminiscence therapy, or can be integrated into hospital wayfinding schemes.
In high traffic areas, where surface damage is inevitable, the medium used to deliver the artwork needs to be highly durable and easy to maintain, to ensure hygiene standards are not compromised.
Acrovyn by Design® from Construction Specialties (CS) offers a robust, low maintenance solution for enhancing and protecting healthcare interiors. Acrovyn by Design® incorporates bespoke images or graphics for complete design freedom, whilst offering a unique combination of surface and image protection.
Suitable for installation in busy hospital areas without any worry of damage to the wall or the artwork. Images are safely embedded behind scratch and impact resistant Acrovyn® 4000 Sheet, which at the same time provides an impervious, hygienic and easy to clean surface.
