In the construction industry, PVC is widely used for wall coverings and protection. It is a petroleum-derived plastic that contains chlorine in its chemical structure. Under combustion conditions, it can generate acid fumes and chlorinated compounds. For this reason, in healthcare settings and high-occupancy buildings, material evaluation cannot be limited to cost and aesthetics. Life-blend®…
Humanizing a care space means intervening on the patient’s experience but also on the operator’s. In hospital settings, wall surfaces must ensure durability and regulatory compliance. At the same time, they directly contribute to the perceived quality of the environment. SHP printed sheets in Life-blend® are designed to meet both needs. High-definition digital printing is…
In contemporary projects, wall coverings are more than just a functional element. They contribute to the perceived quality of the space and the construction of the architectural identity. The Life-blend® range has been developed to offer wide chromatic and material flexibility, while maintaining technical standards suitable for high-traffic environments. Standard color shades and custom finishes…
Surface protection and hygiene control are two structural requirements in healthcare corridors. In high-traffic environments, the constant movement of beds, stretchers, and trolleys causes progressive deterioration of the walls. At the same time, sanitization protocols require materials suitable for frequent and thorough cleaning. The integrated BH.140 + P.200 + CG.75 system was developed to provide…
In environments with continuous traffic, edges are among the surfaces most exposed to impacts and deterioration. This intervention clearly shows the impact of the insertion of the CGL.50 light edge protector in Life-blend®. In the initial context, the corners were compromised by marks and abrasions related to daily use. Once installed, the protection integrates with…
In a high-traffic hallway, how important is the choice of handrail? In buildings with continuous traffic, the handrail plays a structural role in safety and space management. The BH.170 bumper handrail is designed to combine walking support and vertical surface protection, helping to reduce the impact of impacts and the deterioration of walls over time.…
Why are more and more healthcare facilities adopting bacteriostatic surfaces?Because risk management today also involves materials.Normal surfaces: • do not prevent bacterial growth • become a passive vector between sanitizations • increase the operational burden on cleaning and maintenanceBacteriostatic surfaces, on the other hand: • limit the growth of bacteria on the surface • improve…
In the construction sector, talking about sustainability is simple. Proving it requires concrete and verifiable processes. For us, the starting point is one: Zero Waste. We have developed an internal cycle that allows us to recover both Life-blend®, our PVC-free technical material, and the aluminum from the profiles. How does it work? Life-blend® – Waste…
In schools and nurseries, safety also begins with the walls. Impacts, toys, chairs, constant movement: without adequate protection, damage becomes inevitable. Styla coloured bumpers in Life-blend® offer active surface protection with safe materials certified for use in educational environments: • PVC-free, non-toxic, and bacteriostatic • Compact, hygienic, and sanitizable • Designed to absorb shock and…
In the corridors of nursing homes, hospitals, and schools, the problem isn’t just aesthetic: the walls are one of the most stressed elements of the entire structure. Impacts from stretchers, trolleys, chairs and daily movements cause deterioration which leads to: • continuous interventions,• loss of hygiene,• operational interruptions,• increased TCO. Styla bumpers, made of Life-blend®,…
