The Differences in Healthcare Furniture Fabrics
Furniture in healthcare facilities used to be covered in vinyl or even plastic. It was inexpensive and easy to clean, but it would tear rather easily and wasn’t very comfortable or attractive. Today, engineered fabric systems, sometimes called crypton fabrics, bring a new level of cleanability, durability, comfort and style to healthcare furniture in hospitals, doctor’s offices and medical facilities everywhere.
These woven fabrics are produced with a moisture barrier that guarantees permanent resistance to stains and spills, while antimicrobials kill and prevent the growth of bacteria, viruses, mildew, mold and algae. Special coatings are also applied for maximum durability.
First and foremost, this new generation of healthcare furniture fabric has been designed with easy cleaning and maintenance in mind. At the same time, they’ve been treated with a water-based solution to avoid a plastic feel, making healthcare furniture as comfortable as they are sanitary. They also come in hundreds of styles and colors to match bedspreads, drapery and other décor.
