ekoa® plant-based wall protection and caseworks veneers are a durable, cost-effective, healthy solution for healthcare and senior living interiors
ekoa® provides high-performing solutions for walls in healthcare + senior living spaces
Healthier spaces for patients and healthcare staff are key for job satisfaction and patient recovery. Cleaner materials that are sustainable, beautiful, and high-performing are sought out by architects and designers, and ekoa® by Lingrove checks all these boxes.
ekoa® eco-veneers and panels are made from fast-growing, sustainable flax and plant-based resins. ekoa® can be used to replace wood, laminates, and plastics in most interior construction applications and is both remarkably beautiful and durable.
Sustainable plant-based materials result in cleaner builds
Today’s spaces demand sustainable materials to replace the use of chemical-laden conventional materials in the built environment. Composite materials pioneer Lingrove developed a novel, high-performance, highly durable wall protection called ekoa® made from carbon-negative plant fibers and clean, plant resins.
Besides the enormous benefits to the planet, the use of natural materials to produce Red-List Free ekoa® leads to healthier breathing conditions where it is used: ekoa® helps patients and staff avoid the risks associated with Sick Building Syndrome and provides a healthy environment for recovery and daily living.
Indoor air quality is often 2-5 times worse than outdoor, and in older buildings it can reach 100 times worse. Architects and designers have an outsize influence in creating healthier and cleaner spaces by choosing clean air, healthy materials. Red List Free, Clean-Air Certified ekoa® is ideal for healthcare settings – from hospitals and clinics to senior living – and helps architects and designers create the low-carbon, clean-air environment patients, residents, and employees deserve while also delivering the durability required for healthcare settings.
Durable – and beautiful – for high-traffic healthcare and senior spaces
Durability is critical in healthcare and senior settings and ekoa® was designed with high levels of performance in mind, with a higher strength-to-weight ratio than steel. Water and highly stain-resistant, bleachable, and impact-resistant, ekoa® is the perfect material for high-traffic areas such as corridors, patient rooms, lobbies, and amenity areas.
This durability comes without compromising high-end luxury looks. With a natural grain finish, ekoa® can transform and upgrade all your amenity areas. The wide range of colors and formats provides the flexibility to meet your clients’ aesthetic needs. Our palette highlights the authentic aspects of long luxury flax fibers and delivers the promise of large-scale installations with continuous (never repeating and always unique) fiber patterns.
