A recurring question for building managers nowadays is “What are the factors that make their commercial facilities stand out from the competition?”
In a very competitive market, commercial property owners must make informed, appropriate choices to remain competitive. Based on the results of several surveys that Gestion HB conducted among its clientele, it seems that the key factor capable of influencing a tenant’s decision is the quality of the building’s hygiene and sanitation. There are of course several approaches to building maintenance. However, recent progress in materials science, nanotechnology and advanced manufacturing have led to the development of adhesive films that kill bacteria, viruses and fungi on a continuous basis without resorting to toxins, heavy metals or diluted poisons.
Made from a durable polyester-coated fabric, the films have an adhesive backing that will stick to most surfaces. NanoSeptic self-cleaning skins are powered by light and use mineral nanocrystals to create an oxidation reaction that is stronger than bleach. In fact, the reaction can be produced by any visible light. The nanocrystals will generate a strong static effect at a microscopic scale to trap organic contaminants even in the absence of light. The high technology now available represents great value added for everyone!
