Reception areas, corridors, and communal areas create the all-important first impression to patients and visitors. Use colour to create a warm and welcoming environment and to guide visitors easily to their required destination.
Key Considerations
• Communal areas are subject to high levels of activity meaning
surfaces are frequently knocked and scraped.
• Products need to be durable, washable, low maintenance and
environmentally responsible.
• Building operators have a duty of care to ensure the safety of all
users and help guide people around easily and safely, so specialist
coatings and colour schemes suitable for the partially sighted should
be considered.
