NMC ROYAL HOSPITAL

NMC Royal Hospital, in UAE, provides state-of-the-art, world-class healthcare experience to all patients and is committed to providing high-quality compassionate care. Upholding the quality of health care delivery is at the core of their commitment. In addition to ensuring protection from the threats of fire, the super-specialty hospital provides a calm recuperative environment for all its occupants through the use of glass.

The exit corridors of NMC Royal Hospital are compartmentalized from the waiting areas using CONTRAFLAM® fire-rated glass. CONTRAFLAM® offers complete thermal insulation (EI fire-rating) for a duration of 2 hours. The glass was installed as a part of a fixed partition system supplied by Forster. The system solutions, tested and certified as per the EN standards, helped Society Technology House, the architect, fulfill the passive fire-safety requirements for hospitals prescribed in the UAE Fire & Life Safety Code.

The use of fire-resistant glass in hospitals, in addition to ensuring safety, brings with it the benefits of daylight, transparency and comfort. They are proven to increase patients’ well-being as well as their speed of recovery. Good architecture in the health-care segment also increases the attractiveness of medical facilities and workspaces, enables staff to make good decisions and, therefore, improves the quality of care.
