Press | 26. April 2020

Hygienic ceilings reduce the growth of pathogens and reduce stress in the health care sector.

Our health is our greatest asset – we are more aware of this today than ever. Care and treatment of sick people require top performance every day. Especially in the health and care sector, hygiene measurements preventing the spread of pathogens are of central importance. As a consequence, various rooms in everyday medical life are subject to particularly demanding specifications. As good room acoustics additionally support the healing processes, OWA ceiling systems make a sustainable contribution to noise and stress reduction.

The ceiling specialist OWA offers a ceiling solution that has been tried and tested over many years. The fleece-laminated mineral ceilings “Octave 85 Humancare” feature special hygienic applications and additionally optimize the respective room acoustics. This additional hygienic option prevents the growth of bacteria, fungi, germs, noro viruses and multi-resistant pathogens such as MRSA. According to the manufacturer, this hygienic ceiling successfully passed the world’s most rigorous test series according to the standard NF S 90-351:2013-04. This makes this mineral ceiling surface suitable for even the highest risk areas (level 4) in the health care sector.

Furthermore, OWA mineral ceiling systems are based on the high-quality Odenwald mineral wool produced at the Amorbach site. As a result, the manufactured mineral ceiling systems have an extremely low filter effect. This means that over time only a small amount of dirt can settle on the ceiling surface. Due to the high absorption, the Humancare mineral ceilings are also particularly suitable for rooms where optimized acoustics is required. This includes healthcare facilities, such as hospitals or retirement and nursing homes, but also nurseries, schools and fitness areas. In this way, mineral ceiling systems from OWA finally make a positive contribution to the benefits of everyone.
