O WELLBEING ate patient-centred, healing, safe and homely environments in several departments.
“The Altro products look great, and still as good as the day they were fitted. They have enabled us to create the most wonderful environment that is not only safe and clean, but helps children to feel better and happier at a stressful time.”
Hillingdon’s Stroke Unit was also vastly improved thanks to Georgia and Altro’s input, with the refurbishment of a bed bay, and also of the gymnasium; the area where important assessment and rehabilitation work takes place. Altro Serenade acoustic smooth flooring was used, with large nature scenes reproduced on Altro Whiterock Digiclad to create a patient-centred biophilic design, and a sense of bringing the outside in.
Altro Serenade is ideal for spaces where comfort underfoot and impact sound reduction are paramount for patients. It is 3.9mm thick and has 19dB impact sound reduction. Along the walls of the gym is an image of a bluebell wood, in Altro Whiterock Digiclad. In the Stroke Unit bed bays, a wildflower meadow runs along the entire wall above the bedheads.

Christopher Knight has seen a real difference for patients and staff. “The Stroke unit is now also hugely improved, thanks to the refurb. Using beautiful natural images to help relax and reassure patients has proved wonderfully calming for them, and we can see a real difference in behaviour. Staff are also thrilled with the new spaces. Working in an environment that’s colourful, friendly and warm has such an impact.”
All the spaces have been transformed by the refurbishment in so many ways. Compared with how they looked before there really is no comparison; they have gone from dull and clinical to bright, light, colourful and comfortable, but still meet very strict guidelines for safety and infection control.
The designs use products from the Altro Whiterock hygienic wall sheets range - Altro Whiterock Digiclad, Altro Whiterock Chameleon and Altro Whiterock Satins. Altro Wood Safety, Altro Suprema and Altro Aquarius safety floors were also used in the Hillingdon Hospital projects.
