In the world of healthcare, ambience plays a crucial role in making patients feel comfortable and at ease from the moment they step through the door to the moment they leave. A prime example of this can be found at Greenlane Medical Centre, where Practec recently completed an outstanding fitout. Practec's specialised approach to healthcare fitouts, coupled with its commitment to creating welcoming spaces, truly shines in this project. One key element that sets Greenlane Medical Centre apart is its choice of flooring, with Interface's Raku Collection Carpet Tiles and Forbo's Sphera Energetic Vinyl taking centre stage.


Greenlane Medical Centre sought to break away from the norm of traditional, clinical medical centre aesthetics. The objective: make patients feel comfortable, relaxed, and welcome. Practec, with its expertise in healthcare fitouts, recognised that the choice of flooring would play a pivotal role in achieving this goal. Interface's Raku Collection, featuring gorgeous light and pinky tones, was strategically employed in the waiting room. This colour palette was carefully chosen to complement the beige-rose pink chairs, creating an inviting and soothing atmosphere. This departure from the typically dark and sterile medical centre colour schemes instantly set the centre apart. The light carpet tile harmoniously worked with the dark oak walls, creating a visually appealing contrast.

Not only did the Raku Collection add a touch of elegance, but it also contributed to the overall comfort and well-being of patients. Walking into Greenlane Medical Centre no longer felt like stepping into a typical medical facility; it felt like entering a space designed with patient comfort in mind, harnessing the proven benefits of introducing Biophilic elements into medical spaces for improved recovery times in patients. While aesthetics is important, healthcare settings must also prioritise practicality and functionality. Forbo's Sphera Energetic vinyl, used in some of the patient rooms, perfectly balanced these aspects. This flooring solution is specifically designed for healthcare spaces, with a SMART-top finish that ensures easy cleaning, excellent stain resistance, and high-quality scratch and chemical resistance.


Sphera Energetic not only meets the rigorous demands of healthcare environments but also adheres to environmentally conscious standards. It is low emissions, phthalate-free, and holds GreenTag GreenRate Level A certification, reflecting its commitment to sustainability and safety. One key factor that sets Interface and Forbo apart is their commitment to quality.


Greenlane Medical Centre's transformation into a warm and welcoming healthcare facility is a testament to the art of flooring. Practec's attention to detail and dedication to creating an inviting atmosphere have truly paid off.


Congratulations to Practec for their remarkable achievement in making Greenlane Medical Centre a standout healthcare facility and thank you for choosing Interface and Forbo Flooring.
