The Benefits of Good Acoustics in Healthcare Environments
With the new Wood Sense HPL Collection, Dorma Huppe brings the character of real wood to a surface that is reliable and easy to specify in the project process. The wood laminate décors are visually and tactually very close to natural wood, while remaining consistent and dependable when it comes to selection, ordering and replacement.
A key feature is the continuous large pattern repeat. Many décors are available in heights of up to 4,100mm, allowing expansive surfaces without visual interruptions. This creates significantly more design freedom – especially when wood is intended to create sense of warmth and wellbeing across an entire wall, rather than in smaller sections.
The collection includes 16 wood options, presented as large-format samples, and enables efficient specification through quick sampling. All laminates are supplied with an EPD label, supporting sustainability requirements in modern project planning.

HBN 00-09 sets out these surface characteristics because unsealed joints are a recognised place for moisture and micro-organisms to collect. A genuinely joint-free edge is designed to address that specific detail.
This is a surface and edge specification, not a clinical claim. Zero-joint technology has not been evaluated or certified by NHS England, and does not claim to reduce infection rates.
Food-service and guest-facing areas are typically inspected under hygiene and housekeeping standards that look closely at surfaces and joints. A seamless, moisture-resistant edge is designed with exactly that kind of scrutiny in mind.
Every one of these sectors shares the same underlying surface problem: a bonded-strip edge is a seam, and a seam is a place where dirt, moisture or wear can concentrate in a way a continuous surface can't. Zero-joint technology addresses that one structural detail across offices, schools, healthcare and hospitality settings alike — one construction detail, one shared weak point removed, four sectors that each care about it for their own reasons.
