Healthcare architects and designers are tasked with creating environments that enable the delivery of high-quality healthcare services. Good healthcare design considers the many important facets of care and the patient experience, such as patient comfort, staff efficiency, safety, aesthetics, and technological advancements.
To achieve good design, architects and designers rely on the support of product suppliers who share a deep understanding of the care environment and possess the advanced tools, capabilities, and expertise to help develop a successful project.

For decades, we have worked with design teams around the world to develop privacy solutions for full-scale construction projects, renovated spaces, and retrofit solutions.
