In healthcare environments, maintaining hygiene is paramount. Every surface, especially walls, must be easy to clean, durable, and compliant with stringent infection control standards. However, creating spaces that feel welcoming and comforting to patients is equally important, as the beauty of the environment can significantly enhance patient comfort and well-being.
Hygienic gallery wall cladding can achieve both superior hygiene and striking visual appeal. Made from high-quality materials, these systems ensure durability and long-lasting performance while adhering to rigorous infection prevention requirements.
Unlike traditional wall finishes that force a compromise between cleanliness and design, hygienic gallery wall cladding allows architects and designers to incorporate printed images, as well as a wide range of colours and finishes, without sacrificing hygiene. This easy maintenance solution is resistant to impact and wear, making it ideal for the demanding conditions of healthcare environments.
Therapeutic design benefits
The influence of environment design on patient recovery and well-being is well documented. Visual stimuli (such as calming nature imagery) can lower stress levels, promote relaxation, and improve patient satisfaction. Thoughtful design choices not only support technical functionality but also result in harmony and beauty, enhancing the overall healing environment.
Hygienic gallery wall cladding enables these insights by allowing healthcare providers to introduce uplifting images and patterns into clinical spaces. Whether it’s serene landscapes, vibrant colours, or imagery aligned with the healthcare provider’s ethos, these designs help create therapeutic atmospheres that benefit both patients and staff.
One of the standout features of hygienic gallery wall cladding is its exceptional design versatility and flexibility. Large-format sheets ensure that visuals flow seamlessly across walls, while on-site thermoforming around internal and external corners minimises the number of joints contributing to enhanced infection control.
Corridors: Bright, engaging visuals transform long passageways into inviting journeys.
Waiting Areas: Calming images reduce patient anxiety and create a sense of comfort.
Treatment Rooms: Positive distractions through imagery help alleviate stress during procedures.
Mental Health Units: Thoughtfully chosen colours and patterns support therapeutic objectives.
Children’s Wards: Playful designs foster a welcoming and child-friendly atmosphere.
Bathrooms: Durable, water-proof sheets provide hygienic and aesthetic solutions for wet areas.
By tailoring the design to the function of each area, hygienic gallery wall cladding enhances both the practical and emotional experience within healthcare settings.
The transformative power of hygienic gallery wall cladding is vividly illustrated by recent installations from experts like Goss Environmental Coatings, a Trovex Select Installer. In the project photographed at the top of this page, a previously stark, white room was revitalised with vibrant floral imagery, completely changing the patient experience. As George Goss noted, this approach “totally brightens up the patient experience,” proving that hygienic cladding can be both functional and inspiring. The cladding used in this project has also passed rigorous impact resistance tests, including the drop ball test, ensuring long-term durability and performance even in demanding healthcare settings.
Gallery wall cladding offers a durable, hygienic, and visually engaging solution for walls, enabling healthcare providers to create environments that support patient recovery and staff well-being without compromising on cleanliness or compliance.
