Healthcare

The Desso Healthcare carpet range had been developed to harmonize and comply with the modern world's ever-increasing knowledge in the areas of practical care-giving, indoor air quality and perceptual psychology.

The benefits of carpet in a healthcare environment have been substantiated by several studies and are increasingly acknowledged by key decision makers. Carpet contributes to a higher standard of comfort, making patients feel at home in a quiet and pleasant environment, which is likely to result in a better night’s rest and a shorter recovery period. Furthermore the rigid surface of carpets causes fewer accidents. If a patient should fall, the chance of injuries is much lower when compared to hard floors.

With the introduction of DESSO AirMaster^® the benefit of carpet solutions is raised to a new level. Research from the World Health Organization shows that particulate matter smaller than 10μm can lead to acute health effects, such as: inflammatory reactions in the lungs, respiratory symptoms, adverse effects on the cardiovascular system and increase in medication use. Long-term exposure results in a substantial reduction in life expectancy. For more information download the Desso Healthcare brochure here.
