Johnstone’s Microbarr Range Keeps It Clean

Johnstone’s Microbarr Range Keeps It Clean.

Johnstone’s high performance Microbarr range has been specified for use on the new £430 million Southmead Hospital Bristol.

The hospital is now one of the largest in the UK and brings together services from Frenchay Hospital and Southmead. It offers more single rooms than any other NHS hospital in the country, greatly improving privacy, dignity and helping to control the spread of infections.

It is this commitment to infection control that led main contractor Carillion and architects BDP to Johnstone’s and specifically its Microbarr products. The range has been developed to help prevent the spread of harmful bacteria that can lead to the proliferation of ‘superbugs’ like MRSA and E.Coli . More than 32,000 litres of Microbarr Anti-Bacterial Acrylic Matt in Brilliant White were used by decorating contractor Bagnalls over the course of the two-year decorating cycle, covering 230,000 sq m of walls and ceilings.

“Paul Curry, regional director for Bagnalls said,: “Johnstone’s Microbarr completely exceeded our expectations and was a vital reason behind this project being so successful. It is a supreme product, particularly at touching up, and we feel strongly that it is the best of its kind on the market.

During the course of the works, Johnstone’s also worked alongside Carillion to transform Wordsworth Community Centre, which is just a stone’s throw away from the hospital development. Johnstone’s donated specialist exterior and metal paints for the comprehensive makeover of the centre and received Carillion’s coveted ‘Pride in Our Workplace’ certificate as a result.
