Healthcare facilities often struggle to find cost-effective solutions for headwalls that are both inviting and functional. Our answer to this problem? We introduced the forWard® headwall system, an engineered solution for a complex healthcare issue.
The forWard headwall is a prefabricated hospital headwall system for buyers who value integrity and innovation. Coupled with the turn-key capabilities of Steve Ward and Associates, forWard® helps create functional, yet inspiring and beautiful healing environments.
This quick and non-invasive headwall system comes in 2-foot sections that are pre-plugged and pre-wired. The panels are no thicker than a typical drywall partition. The panels are laminated with 24 gauge steel backed by ⅝” Gypsum board, providing superior durability against scratches and impact-resistance. An average 8-foot wide forWard headwall system can be installed in under 30 minutes.
The forWard headwall is not surface-mounted like many other brands on the market today. forWard does not require drywall, paint or veneer to function. When placed back-to-back, the panels fit inside a 4 ⅞” wall cavity, eliminating the need to use 6” studs and saving as much as 1 1/8” of square footage. Over the course of a long patient room corridor, even multiplied upwards over several floors, this can add valuable square footage, saving money and maximizing efficiency.
forWard headwalls promote the freedom of design and increased efficiency, helping reduce construction costs and allowing healthcare staff to focus on what matters most – quality patient care.
