Healthcare

Doors in hospitals have to perform far better than standard interior doors. In sensitive areas such as operating theatres, patient rooms or care areas, hygiene, security and functionality are paramount. At the same time, they must be able to withstand heavy loads during day-to-day operation.

Hygiene requirements and surfaces

In the healthcare sector, surfaces that are easy to clean and durable are crucial. Doors must:

• be resistant to disinfectants
• feature a construction with few joints
• support antibacterial properties

This significantly reduces the risk of germ transmission.

Sound insulation for peace and privacy

Sound insulation plays a particularly important role in patient rooms and treatment areas. High-quality soundproof doors ensure:

• reduced noise pollution
• greater peace and quiet for patients
• better working conditions for staff

Security and compliance with standards

Hospital doors must comply with numerous standards and regulations. These include, amongst others:

• Fire safety requirements (e.g. T30 / T90 doors)
• Smoke protection for safe escape routes
• Accessibility for patients and staff

Depending on the application, special features such as doors that open automatically or access control may also be required.

Robustness and durability in everyday use

In hospital environments, doors are subjected to heavy stress – from beds, trolleys and high footfall. That is why:

• impact-resistant chamfered edges
• robust surfaces
• durable fittings

crucial for long-term, durable use.
