The emergence of new strains of drug resistant bacteria has necessitated strengthening of infection control measures in hospitals. According to the Australasian Health Facility Guidelines, internal surfaces and finishes are integral to the overall management of infection control risks in Health Care buildings.

Boral plasterboard walls and ceilings offer a smooth and seamless surface finish which is critical to an effective infection control.

Boral also distributes the Bioguard range of Armstrong mineral fibre ceiling tiles, which are designed to actively combat harmful fungi, mould, yeasts and bacteria.
