How a new care home is proving that interior design can meet the conflicting demands of style and comfort
ŷ Llandaff is a new private residential and nursing home built on the site of the former St
Winefride’s Hospital in Pontcanna, a quiet suburb of Cardiff. The 72-bed care home, delivered by 55Plus and Principality Commercial, is designed over three storeys and the project included the refurbishment of the existing Pembroke House. To complement the modern interiors, and to add a sense of luxury, Carpet Services (Cardiff) (CFS) installed a range of high-design and durable CFS flooring products. Within the reception and bar area, CFS Elements in shades Casablanca Oak and Weathered Oak provide a welcoming area for visitors and add a luxury feel with natural wood-effect tones.
The range was chosen because it is
hardwearing, scratch resistant, and easy to maintain in a heavy-traffic reception area. In the bedrooms, Scala Design in the colour Flax was chosen to complement the interior colour schemes and create a modern feel, as well as promoting a calm and comfortable environment.
This is especially important to support the specific needs of residents living with dementia.
In addition, CFS Scala Plain comes with impervious foam backing to help repel liquid spills and reduce slips. Within the areas throughout the building that needed to be resistant to dirt, water, and stains, CFS Optimum Tonals was installed.
In addition to supplying the CFS floor coverings, Carpet & Flooring also provided a full complement of accessories, including nosings, adhesives, and screeds. Home manager, Janice Evans, said: “The flooring has completely
transformed the space and had a positive impact on all our staff and visitors. “All of these areas were subjected to a high level of foot traffic and maintenance challenges, which placed added importance on selecting the right products.”
