Meet us in the Clinician's Lounge. Fill your cup of coffee or tea and join NIHD Partner Porcelanosa. Andy Pennington, National Sales and Marketing Director, and David Carmona, National Sales Director, will lead a lively discussion on Surface Selection and Infection Prevention.
Developments in environmental services have seen the unintended consequences caused by corrosive disinfection practices. The design and selection of materials in hygiene critical areas play a crucial role in the safety of a building’s occupants. In tandem, the role of the specifier and facility management will prioritize an ROI value to the operational lifespan of a product installation. Andy & David will share learning points from a wide field of project references spanning the design fields of medical healthcare, hospitality, senior living and their influence in everyday interior environments.
