Hygienic ceilings – OWAcoustic premium Humancare Pro is a 20 mm thick, hydrophobic, smooth, white fleece covered, hygienic ceiling tile. It has an ISO 3 cleanroom classification, offers 100% RH, is a class A sound absorber and is available with a square edge.
Humancare Pro is dirt repellent, scratch resistant and wipeable with disinfect. This hygienic ceiling prevents the spread of bacteria, fungi and germs. Even MRSA pathogens don’t stand a chance. It’s ideal for healthcare or hospitals, in particular treatment rooms, therapy areas and recovery rooms. It helps to create a clean, quiet and calm environment, thus aiding recovery and work.
After exhausting investigations or operations, what patients want most is peace and quiet. A recovery space is needed where those in a fragile condition can build up their strength. The design of the room makes a significant contribution to an atmosphere of wellbeing. Both the furniture and efficient acoustic ceilings are essential elements of a quiet environment which promotes recovery. However, the hygiene requirements must also be met at the same time. OWA‘s range of versatile hygienic ceilings provides a successful balance between wellbeing and cleanliness.
OWA manufactures our mineral wool tiles from natural and recycled materials using a wet-felt process. Our boards contain negligible VOCs and exclude formaldehyde resin in their formulation. Therefore, they contribute to excellent indoor air quality which is ideal for hospital ceilings.
Humancare Pro hygienic ceiling tiles form a complete suspended ceiling system when combined with our exposed ceiling grid and perimeter trim. They are easy to install and demount for service access. OWA mineral board is dense and firm, ensuring the tiles maintain integrity during frequent handling. The solid core ensures particle emissions are low and cut edges are clean, eliminating the need for resealing. Also, the tile density prevents dust settling and marking the surface via air filtration.
