When it comes to painting a clinic, private practice, or any medical institution, three crucial criteria must be met:
- The paint must be easy to clean without damaging the surface.
- The paint must be safe and non-toxic.
- The paint color should not cause additional stress to patients or staff.
LOTOS Maxima Hypoallergenic Latex Paint distinguishes itself from ordinary latex paints due to its unique formulation. Firstly, it does not cause irritation or allergic reactions, neither during application nor after drying. Secondly, it contains wax, which gives the coating water-repellent properties (the lotus effect), allowing contaminants to be easily wiped away.
LOTOS Maxima is a premium paint rated as Class 1 resistance to wet scrubbing (according to DSTU EN 13300). In other words, you can wash the walls, even using cleaning detergents, without worrying about damaging the finish.
Choice of color
When choosing a color, you should consider the facility's specialization, the type of medical services offered, and the associations you wish to create for clients. However, there are traditional color choices that serve as excellent, universal options:
Blue
Blue is well-known for its calming properties and can help reduce stress and anxiety levels. This is vital because patients may naturally feel tense or worried. Blue also stimulates the production of happy hormones, which helps create a positive mood for both staff and patients. Additionally, blue conveys an impression of cleanliness and sterility, and is often associated with trust and stability.
Gray
Gray is considered a stable and consistent color, which can help underscore the professional character of a medical institution. It is a neutral shade that is easy to combine with other colors. Moreover, gray hides minor scuff marks and makes the room appear visually more spacious.
Green
Green is strongly associated with nature. It can create a feeling of freshness, vitality, and hope, which is especially important in healthcare settings where patients are seeking support and recovery. Green is one of the most soothing colors; it helps lower stress and anxiety levels in both patients and personnel, and also promotes better concentration and focus.
