Saint-Gobain took part in the renovation of Mulago Hospital, the largest hospital in Uganda. Healthcare facilities raise unique challenges in meeting the needs of staff and patients. Professionals require a calm environment for clear communication and decisive action, while patients require recuperation and rest. To improve the wellbeing of patients and hospital staff, Saint-Gobain provided more than 30 000 square metres of Saint-Gobain Gyproc Gyprex™ ceiling tiles together with Gypframe™ grid systems. These products were installed mainly in rooms and corridors. Gyprex™ vinyl faced ceiling tiles, with their easy maintenance and wipe-clean properties, have been specially developed as the ideal suspended ceiling solution for hygiene-sensitive areas. The renovation was led by Sharp Shop Architects. Saint-Gobain solutions: Saint-Gobain Gyproc Gyprex™ and Gypframe™ grid system: Easy maintenance, wipe-clean vinyl surface Ideal for use where regular access to above-ceiling services requires a tile with a robust edge that is not easily damaged Suitable for all areas up to 90% humidity
