Hospital doors

CDOOR hospital doors are manufactured using a high-density polywood core. The surface of these doors can be covered with PVC or HPL laminates (recently introduced and exclusively produced by this company) in various thicknesses.

When PVC coverings are used, hospital doors are generally equipped with stainless-steel kick plates in the middle and lower sections. However, when the new HPL coverings are used, the high durability of the material eliminates the need for stainless-steel protective strips on the door surface.

The new CDOOR polywood doors, finished with modern HPL (High-Pressure Laminate) surfaces, provide an innovative solution for the demanding requirements of healthcare environments and represent a superior alternative to traditional PVC-coated doors with stainless-steel protective strips.

What is HPL?

HPL stands for High-Pressure Laminate. These laminates consist of multiple layers of kraft paper impregnated with phenolic resins and decorative layers (patterns or colors) impregnated with melamine resins. These layers are compressed under very high pressure and temperature, producing a highly dense, hard, and durable material.

Advantages of HPL-Coated Polywood Hospital Doors:

1. Superior Hygiene and Antimicrobial Performance:
   • The smooth, non-porous, and seamless HPL surface does not provide suitable conditions for the growth of bacteria and microorganisms. This feature is essential for sterile hospital environments.
   • Unlike traditional PVC doors, where the joints between the stainless-steel strips and the surface could become contamination points, HPL provides a continuous and easily cleanable surface.
2. Exceptional Resistance to Damage:
   • Impact and Scratch Resistance: HPL is significantly more resistant to impacts, scratches, and abrasion than PVC. This greatly extends the service life of the door and reduces maintenance requirements.
   • Chemical Resistance: These laminates exhibit excellent resistance to a wide range of cleaning agents and disinfectants commonly used in hospitals and do not suffer from discoloration or surface degradation.
3. High Durability and Long Service Life:

   Due to the inherent resistance of HPL to environmental factors, impacts, and chemicals, doors manufactured with this surface offer significantly greater durability than PVC doors and maintain their original appearance for many years.

4. Modern and Flexible Design:
   • HPL is available in a wide variety of colors, patterns (such as wood, stone, or solid colors), and surface finishes (matte, glossy, or semi-gloss), allowing seamless integration with modern hospital interior designs.
   • The use of HPL eliminates the need for protective metal strips at the lower sections of the door, as the laminate itself provides sufficient strength while creating a cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
5. Moisture Resistance:

   The dense structure of HPL provides excellent resistance to moisture penetration, making it particularly suitable for hospital areas exposed to high humidity, such as restrooms and sterile rooms.
