Lightweight Building Solutions for Health Care
Lightweight Building Solutions for Health Care -
Fire Protection
Boral offers a wide range of fire rated lightweight building solutions that satisfy Building Code of Australia (BCA) requirements for fire protection within Hospitals and other Class 9a buildings.
Acoustics
Acoustic considerations for hospital environments include sound isolation for privacy or comfort enhancement as well as sound absorption in noisy areas.
Impact Resistance
Hospital corridors are particularly susceptible to knocks by trolleys and general traffic and therefore require the use of impact resistant lining materials.
USG Wall lining
Powerscape Fiberock® is an alternative impact resistant wall lining for high traffic areas. It has the impact toughness of masonry, combined with the design and installation convenience of plasterboard.
Radiation Protection
Boral lead-lined plasterboard is commonly used for shielding of radiation imaging and radiation therapy rooms, providing effective protection against unwanted radiation exposure.
Infection Control
Boral plasterboard walls and ceilings have a smooth seamless surface finish critical to effective infection control. Boral also distributes the Bioguard range of Armstrong mineral fibre ceiling tiles.
