Noise levels in healthcare environments can be very high, and this can lead to stress. Acoustic comfort has become a key criterion in floor covering selection.

Green growth: a zero-interest loan!
As we all know, climate change is caused in particular by greenhouse gas emissions resulting from increased consumption of fossil fuels. But it's up to healthcare professionals to pursue this line of reasoning, because while climate change has an impact on the environment, it also has numerous repercussions on human health and the cost of our healthcare system. Indeed, reducing direct and indirect fossil fuel consumption also means reducing asthma, allergies, vector-borne diseases, cardiovascular diseases and cancers in the long term, as well as optimizing healthcare expenditure.
