Southmead Hospital Rockfon Rockfon.com For the Southmead Hospital project in Bristol, England, the architects at BDP wanted to avoid the square look of typical suspended ceilings by means of a high-performing system that would reflect light and reduce the energy needs of artificial lighting.

The Medical range fulfills the cleaning and hygienic demands of healthcare environments and does not contribute to the growth of MRSA.
