Benefits of Phenolic in Healthcare Facilities

Learn how Phenolic material can help protect your health space.

When it comes to designing a healthcare facility, the central focus should always revolve around the well-being of both the employees and patients. A primary goal of healthcare facility design is the commitment to maintaining a clean and sanitized environment that complies with healthcare regulations and requirements.

Patients within these facilities are often already vulnerable due to their health conditions, making sanitation and infection prevention extremely important. Maintaining a clean and sanitary environment is a must, meaning materials and products used in the facility must be carefully chosen.

Choosing a versatile material like Phenolic provides centers with a reliable product that is both durable and easy to maintain. Phenolic serves as an excellent choice to support the creation of a healthcare environment that is not only safe but efficient and visually appealing.

BENEFITS OF PHENOLIC

  • Hygienic Properties: Phenolic is an ideal material for healthcare facilities due to its outstanding hygienic properties. The non-porous surface prevents bacteria from seeping through and allows the material to easily be cleaned and maintained which is crucial in environments where the risk of infection is prevalent. Phenolic is a material that can withstand the constant cleaning and disinfecting that is required. Learn more on how to clean and sanitize your lockers here.
  • Corrosion Resistant: The components of Phenolic make the material resistant to water, chemicals, and heat. Having this type of resistance makes it a smart choice especially when it comes to the sensitive equipment or tools that are stored.
  • Durable: Phenolic is a great choice for facilities due to the long lifespan of the material. It is low-maintenance, requiring no protective treatments or sealing, making it a cost-effective choice over time especially in high-traffic or demanding environments.

As an extremely resilient material, Phenolic provides many benefits to the healthcare world. Discover more benefits of Phenolic here. When it comes to designing your next medical project, contact Hollman to see how we can assist.

        Project Insights | Parkland Moody Outpatient Center

        Parkland Center’s new lockers provided by Hollman

        Located in Dallas, TX, the newly built six-story, 540,000 square foot Parkland Moody Outpatient Center houses multiple physicians, treatment facilities, and a first-floor cafe. Throughout the building, Parkland needed a solution to provide employees and patients with a place to store personal belongings during their visits. By teaming up with Hollman, The Parkland Moody Outpatient Center added medical lockers in key locations throughout the hospital.

        CHALLENGE

        Like other hospitals, Parkland wants to provide germ-free, clean, and safe facilities for its employees and patients. They wanted their lockers to be durable, easy to use, and functional.

        SOLUTION + BENEFITS

        Parkland appointed the project to McCarthy Construction, who worked together with our team of consultants to ensure the lockers created were the perfect fit for the center. The result was a combination of medical locker solutions to maximize space and increase functionality.

        With the help of Hollman & McCarthy Construction, we were able to create a solution that achieved the goals set forth by Parkland. Hollman assembled two-tier model B lockers for each location in the center. The team chose a high-pressure laminate in ginger root maple to give the locker a clean finish. For easy access, we provided 5pin Key Lock. The lockers feature ADA pulls to ensure capability for all.

        Location of Lockers: Moody Center for Breast Health changing rooms, Outpatient Rehab Facility, hallway lockers for staff lounge & employee lockers on the first-floor café.
