Klinikum Dortmund, the second largest municipal hospital in Germany, has used Stratica to introduce a sense of style and quality into its private rooms. It can be found in the ophthalmology, dermatology and ear, nose and throat departments, and has helped to create distinguished, high class facilities for private patients.
A high standard of interior is expected in these rooms as private health insurance companies require them to be superior to standard ones. Refrigerators, televisions, bathrooms and the possibility of internet access are just some the luxuries patients can expect as a result.
Design specifications for the rooms have been met by using Stratica Craftsman Maple which has created a light and airy atmosphere. The grain and colour of the wood reproduction, as well as the warm undertones, have created an authentic and natural appearance. This has served to distinguish the private rooms from the linoleum covered floors in other departments.
Stratica’s thickness is a further benefit in Klinikum Dortmund. Due to the shallow depth of the under-floor in these rooms and the linoleum in the corridors, a thin material was required to obtain the same construction height throughout. The use of Stratica therefore has facilitated the easy movement of beds and trolleys and this would have been far harder to achieve with natural products such as stone or wood.
Stratica was the first choice for Klinikum Dortmund because of its durability, unique construction and low life cycle costs. It has gained an excellent reputation for its suitability in busy hospital environments and has been used successfully in similar projects throughout Germany.
