Selecting the right products is crucial to creating a healthcare environment that supports the needs of patients and staff alike.
Our consultants and specification teams can help you specify with confidence – from hard-wearing products capable of withstanding rigorous cleaning, to sector-specific colour knowledge, and online tools designed to make your specification simple.
We're here to help you
Maintenance and redecorating are disruptive, costly, and environmentally impactful. So, we offer paints with exceptional durability, washability, and stain resistance. They exceed the longevity and performance of standard paints, helping to extend maintenance cycles.
We also offer scrubbable coatings, specially formulated with anti-bacterial properties to help with infection control, in line with appropriate cleaning practices.
We know colour should do much more than make a building look attractive. Using our industry-leading, evidence-based design principles, we can help you develop colour schemes for healthcare spaces in which patients feel comfortable and at ease.Hard-wearing Dulux products ideal for healthcare spaces
