New living spaces for the new situation

New spaces?

The Covid-19 pandemic has forced us to reflect on all kinds of things, including the shortcomings that exist in homes, buildings, dwellings, public spaces, offices… and what these spaces should be like.

In addition to all the technologies that help meet these needs, such as voice control, disinfection materials or hands-free elements, new ceilings are also being taken into account. These building elements should promote better acoustics in spaces, make them brighter and easier to clean and disinfect and, of course, offer antibacterial properties.

Innovation in ceilings after Covid-19

When it comes to homes or buildings, many people have been able to see for themselves what their home needs: more light, less damp, better acoustics… The different THU ceiling families make it possible to give your home these qualities, which are so important and necessary for a comfortable home and better rest. Do you need brighter spaces? Choose light-reflecting metal ceilings that achieve greater brightness in every room. In addition, with the right tiles, you will achieve better acoustics and greater comfort in the setting you are in. The same applies to offices, public buildings, hospitals and airports; in general, during this time of reflection we have become more aware of the needs of the spaces we use every day.

There are numerous new developments, such as the option of antibacterial treatment on our tiles, which is absolutely necessary and enormously useful in public spaces and the healthcare sector. This pandemic has led to an increase in the use of special paints that are resistant to disinfection techniques. What are the features of antibacterial treatment on ceilings? Antibacterial coatings prevent and inhibit the spread of dangerous pathogenic micro-organisms and suppress the growth of mould and certain bacteria that are harmful to health. It provides protection over a prolonged period of time and is compatible with the full range of colours and machining options. It can be applied in all kinds of spaces, such as restaurants, schools, laboratories, hospitals, care homes, etc.

What now?

It is clear that this pandemic has revealed needs that were not previously taken into account. The importance of ceilings is one of them, since they not only provide aesthetic value but also, thanks to technology and innovation, offer technical, antibacterial and acoustic solutions. These qualities are enormously important in homes, offices and all kinds of buildings open to the public. Now is the time to prepare public buildings, residential blocks, offices, homes… for the future, adapting each of these spaces to its own needs.
