A view of Evelina Children?s Hospital, where SAS International?s metal ceiling systems have been employed, and which has been shortlisted for this year?s Sterling Prize. SAS contributed to the design with a solution that while meeting stringent standards such as acoustics and cleanability, also reflected the ethos of this building.
With hospitals requiring seven times more services than office buildings, suspended metal ceiling systems like SAS?s are ideal, allowing mechanical and electrical services to be housed in the ceiling void.
Anti-bacterial coatings for the ceilings, such as the recently introduced SAS AB, effectively inhibit the growth of micro-organisms when used in conjunction with routine cleaning procedures. These factors along with exceptional life span and minimal maintenance costs have meant that metal ceilings have become the first choice of specifiers in such high-performance environments.
SAS also offers chilled beams and ceilings, Integrated Service Modules, trench and perimeter heating, architectural metalwork and partitioning, to provide a range of interactive interior solutions. The three SAS UK manufacturing facilities rank amongst the most modern and fully equipped in the world.
