Acoustic environment, air quality and aesthetics are equally important for the comfort of staff and patients in a hospital. It is important to choose materials that are simple in their design, are made of a healthy, safe material (certified with Danish Indoor Climate Labelling and a high fire classification) and have excellent sound absorption. Gypsum ceilings are therefore ideal for hospitals.
At Hamlet Hospital, architects have used Belgravia ceiling tiles in small rooms and wards, because of their robustness and ease of demounting. In the corridors, the rectangular free-span Corridor 400 tiles are used, because they are quick to install and offer exceptionally easy access to installations.
