Sustainable Healthcare Privacy Screens | Silentia

Resource-efficient privacy

A proven solution

Since 1990, Silentia has led the way in future-proof patient privacy, developing products that reduce waste, lower energy consumption, and contribute to cleaner healthcare environments.

Today, we are trusted by hospitals in more than 50 countries, with products that have a proven lifetime of over 10 years. As resource efficiency becomes a critical focus across healthcare, we remain committed to supporting hospitals with patient privacy solutions built for the long term.

More hygiene with less waste

Silentia screens can be cleaned directly in the patient room by the cleaning staff or other healthcare personnel, allowing for multiple cleanings per day if necessary. In contrast, textile privacy curtains require extensive resources for laundering or exchange, limiting their cleaning frequency to, at best, once a month. This infrequent cleaning leads to hygiene concerns and improving it would demand a substantial increase in resources.

The Silentia eco design principles

Our eco design principles guide every stage of product development, ensuring sustainability and a long-term perspective are built into the process from the start.
