Healthcare Solutions from Zentia
A friendly and welcoming healthcare environment can play a vital role in uplifting the spirits of patients, staff, and visitors.
The patient experience outside of an operating theatre is an increasing focus of hospital trusts. So while ceiling tiles can deliver ISO Cleanroom-standard anti-microbial properties that protect against bio-contamination, they can also provide natural light and optimised acoustics in less acute areas.

SOLUTIONS FOR EVERY ROOM:
EMERGENCY / TREATMENT ROOM
Challenge:
These hectic and multi-functional spaces require a ceiling that’s very versatile. Key ceiling criteria in an emergency room includes water-resistant surfaces that are easy to clean to prevent infection, sound absorption and blocking to control unwanted sound, and light reflectance.
Solution: BIOGUARD PLAIN
Bioguard Plain combines excellent cleanability and resistance to disinfectants. Along with its antimicrobial performance it is an ideal solution for healthcare environments.
Key Features
- Available in Plain (high light reflectance 87%) surface with enhanced water repellency
- The product can be washed
- Safe use with disinfectants
- ISO 5
PATIENT ROOMS
Challenge:
If you’ve ever had even a short hospital stay, you have firsthand knowledge of just how overwhelming noise can be. Research confirms that noise levels in patient rooms often exceed the World Health Organisation guidelines of 35 dBA during the day and 30 dBA at night, creating more stressful environments for patients and disrupting sleep.
Solution: BIOGUARD ACOUSITIC
Bioguard Acoustic combines excellent cleanability, resistance to disinfectants and sound absorption. Along with its antimicrobial performance it is an ideal solution for healthcare environments.
Key Features
- Safe use with disinfectants
- Enhanced water repellency: the product can be washed
- ISO 5
- Available in Acoustic (0.60 (H) aw) versions
MRI/RADIOLOGY AND LABORATORYS
Challenge:
MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) suites, where strong magnetic fields exist, require a ceiling suspension system that meets the needs for a non-magnetic environment. These spaces also need acoustical, yet cleanable surfaces.
Solution: ULTIMA +
Ultima+ not only offers a smoother, finely textured and durable surface with a brighter “blue-white” colour for high light reflectance, but a balance of both sound absorption and sound attenuation and is also C2C Bronze certified.

- Good sound absorption: up to 0.75 (H) aw
- Very high light reflectance: 87%
- Reinforced scratch resistant face
- Hard edge treatment
- C2C Bronze certified
- 30 year system guarantee
- Widest choice of edge details, including the new Finesse concealed accessible edge detail.
LOBBY AND NURSES STATION

- Very high light reflectance: 87%
- Reinforced scratch resistant face
- C2C Bronze certified
- 30 year system guarantee
CORRIDORS
Challenge:
Corridors in healthcare are busy, often with shallow plenums that require frequent access. Corridors are also sources of unwanted noise that can take away from positive patient experiences. It’s important to accommodate HVAC and medical equipment, while also keeping corridors quiet.
Solution: DUNE eVo dB
The higher attenuation performance of Dune eVo dB offers a perfect solution for improving the privacy between adjacent spaces. Whilst the class-leading whiteness helps to create spaces that are brighter and better, and which offer a greater sense of well-being for your customers.
Key Features
- Excellent sound attenuation (39 dB sound reduction)
- Enhanced acoustical absorption performance of 0.60 aw
- Discreet perforations for a smoother finish
- Fully painted and reinforced edges
- Easy to handle and re-engineered for a better, easier fit
