Wood-Grain PVC Sheet for a European General Hospital Interior Upgrade

A leading general hospital in Northern Europe recently initiated an interior refurbishment project to improve patient comfort and ensure compliance with updated hygiene and fire-safety standards. As part of the upgrade, the hospital selected our Wood-Grain PVC Sheet to renovate several key areas, including patient corridors, outpatient waiting zones, and rehabilitation rooms.

Project Background

The hospital sought to transition from its cold, sterile interior style to a human-centered healing environment, reflecting the modern trend in European healthcare design. The previous wall finish—paint and MDF wood panels—showed frequent surface wear, moisture damage, and high maintenance cost.

The facility management team required materials that offered:

• A warm, natural aesthetic

• Exceptional hygiene performance

• Resistance to heavy daily use

• Compliance with EU fire-safety and environmental regulations (REACH, RoHS)

Solution

After product testing and evaluation, the hospital selected our Premium Wood-Grain PVC Sheet in a Nordic Light Birch pattern, known for its calming and contemporary appearance.

Key product advantages for developed-country hospitals:

• B1 fire-retardant rating, compliant with high-level EU safety requirements

• Anti-bacterial and anti-mold surface suitable for clinical environments

• Impact resistance to withstand trolleys, wheelchairs, and cleaning machinery

• VOC-free, odor-free materials, meeting strict environmental standards

• Non-porous surface for easy disinfection, compatible with alcohol and chlorine-based cleaners

• Sustainable option compared with traditional wood panels

Installation Process

The project covered over 1,500 m² of interior wall surfaces.

1. Pre-install inspection ensuring wall flatness

2. Precision cutting using CNC equipment for seamless visual alignment

3. Low-VOC adhesive installation, safe for hospital environments

4. Flawless wood-grain alignment across long corridors

5. Seam sealing to meet hygiene requirements in critical areas

6. Post-installation disinfection before opening to public access

Thanks to the lightweight PVC structure, installation time was reduced by 42% compared with conventional laminate panels, significantly minimizing disruption to hospital operations.

Results

The renovation delivered a dramatic visual and functional improvement:

• Warm, Scandinavian-style aesthetic that reduces patient anxiety

• Enhanced durability in high-traffic zones

• Improved infection control, thanks to non-porous, chemical-resistant surfaces

• Lower life-cycle cost, with reduced maintenance and longer service life

• Better overall patient satisfaction, especially in rehabilitation and geriatric care units

Hospital administrators reported that staff and patients immediately noticed the improved atmosphere and cleanliness.

Customer Feedback

“The new wood-grain PVC walls align perfectly with our hospital’s design concept—warm, safe, and easy to maintain. They have significantly elevated the comfort level of our patient areas while meeting strict hygiene requirements.”

Conclusion

This case demonstrates that PVC Wood-Grain Sheets are an ideal surface solution for hospitals in developed countries, where both aesthetic quality and regulatory compliance are critical. The material performs exceptionally well in:

• General hospitals

• Day-surgery centers

• Rehabilitation clinics

• Elderly care hospitals

• Private medical institutions

Its balance of beauty, durability, and hygiene makes it a leading choice for modern healthcare architecture.
