Trevira CS/Trevira CS Bioactive for hospitals and the care sector
Attractive design of the interiors of hospitals and care institutes is taking on an increasingly important role in the context of an ageing population. Textiles represent here one of the most flexible elements in the design of interiors. They are light, they can be obtained, refurbished or changed easily and quickly, and in the process offer a wide range of individual design opportunities.
Nowadays it is accepted that textiles in public areas and in the contract business have to satisfy the requirements of preventive protection against fire and that this is a priority factor for decision-makers when selecting products. Flame retardant polyester textiles like Trevira CS are therefore already a fixed element in furnishing concepts – including for care institutions.
Alongside flame retardancy, growing importance is being attached to hygiene. Textiles like Trevira CS Bioactive, which display antimicrobial properties at the same time, prevent the transfer of bacteria and produce an improvement in hygienic conditions.
