The hospital wished to refurbish the washroom areas within the Accident and Emergency Department and the Out Patient Department. The aim was to create an environment that patients could feel comfortable in. Patients needed to feel that there has been enough thought and effort made within these areas to change the mind set of vandals and also deter the acts of frustration that can result in damage of products; situations that naturally occur within a busy A & E department.

W. H. Foster & Sons are always conscious of the balance between aesthetics and the durability of their products, especially within a hospital environment. In this instance one of the materials that meets all of the hospital's needs including durability, hygiene and design versatility, is solid surface.The benefits within the health sector are endless and this material has been used in many hospitals for it's unique qualities. In this environment, infection control is paramount and the hygienic qualities of solid surfacing are easily maintained as it does not harbour or add to the spread of bacteria.

To compliment the solid surfacing wash hand basin and wall panelling products, WH Foster's has a wide selection of cubicle systems within their Cubase ranges. Heartlands Hospital chose the award winning Cubase Tubular cubicle system with the use of metallic laminates as a surfacing material. The hospital maximised on the versatility of all these products to create a highly desirable environment and yet equally functional. You are sure to agree that the end result is spectacular.
