Why Choosing Vinyl In Care Home Furniture Is A Wise Decision
The comfort and safety of their residents is important to all care homes as they seek to provide a worry-free environment. Therefore, opting for the right furniture is one of the most important choices they will make. Here we look at why vinyl is an especially useful material in care home furniture.
Waterproof
A massive advantage of using vinyl is that it is waterproof. This is helpful in care home furniture when you consider that many people using the furniture could well be incontinent. Other fabric materials are more likely to absorb liquid, which can lead to unpleasant smells later on.
With cleaning in mind
Care home staff are used to the frequent food and drink spillages that occur. As vinyl can be easily wiped down thanks to its smooth surface, these spillages aren’t such a problem and furniture stays looking good. The fact that vinyl can be so easily cleaned also means that it is easier to target germs, reducing the risk of infection in the care home.
Sun protection
Lots of care home furniture is positioned near windows and in conservatories so that the residents have a nice view. This is great for the residents, but not so great for furniture covered in fabrics as they soon fade when in direct sunlight. In contrast vinyl suffers much less fading than other fabric, making it a great option for seats that will see a lot of sun.
Wear and tear
Vinyl is a very tough material that doesn’t scratch or tear easily. This means that it is likely to last longer than care home furniture made from other fabrics. In conclusion, although vinyl may cost more to buy than furniture covered in other materials, you can save in the long-run due its longevity.
