New Coatings to support Cleaner and Fresher Healthcare Environments
1 LU/HSW

with Sherwin Williams
Traditionally considered solely in terms of color and finish, commercial paint has been technologically advanced to now deliver much more to a healthcare environment than a sense of calm. You will learn how these advanced architectural-grade coatings can help to improve the indoor environment of
healthcare facilities. When the cumulative benefits are examined, these high-performance coatings now generate real value for facility owners and give architects and designers the ability to specify a wall coating that is visually stimulating and can help improve indoor air quality.
