HOSPITAL GRADE GLASS
Hospital glass and standard glass vary greatly in terms of their properties, uses, and the specific needs they are built to address. While standard glass is typically used in everyday applications like windows, doors, and decorative features in residential and commercial spaces, hospital glass is specially designed to meet the demanding standards of healthcare environments.
Hospital glass is often treated with additional safety measures, such as tempering or lamination, to reduce the risk of breakage and ensure that, if it does shatter, it fragments into smaller, less harmful pieces—an essential feature for preventing injuries in medical settings.
In addition, hospital glass incorporates advanced technologies, such as electrochromic, liquid crystal, or suspended particle devices, enabling it to switch from clear to opaque as needed. This provides privacy in areas like patient rooms and consultation spaces.
Designed with safety, privacy, hygiene, and healing in mind, hospital glass meets the unique demands of healthcare environments. It can also include fire-resistant properties, helping to contain fires and support safe evacuation and firefighting efforts, making it an essential element in hospital infrastructure.
