What is The Best Option For Hospital Flooring?
Hygienic, safe and tough. Three essential qualities any hospital flooring needs in order to cope with the challenges of this unique environment.
Hospital flooring options
As you can imagine, hospitals are incredibly busy places, with a constant stream of staff, patients and visitors, not to mention the movement of beds and machinery. Hospital flooring therefore endures extremely heavy foot and machine traffic all day, every day; possibly more than any other industry. Hospitals face another challenge that’s unique to them – the need to keep a clean and sterile environment is a consideration of the upmost importance and their flooring goes a long way to contribute to this.
As a result of these specific demands, hospital flooring needs to not only be easy to clean and hygienic but also highly durable and hard wearing. With such a tough checklist, it’s difficult to find hospital flooring that meets all the requirements. However, there are a few options to choose from.
Flow applied epoxy flooring
Flow applied epoxy flooring is a self-smoothing solution that forms a continuous, unbroken surface that leaves no gaps or crevices for dirt and nasty germs to hide, perfect for areas that need impeccable hygiene. This also means it’s incredibly easy to clean and as it’s such a tough material, it can easily withstand the harsh cleaning chemicals needed in a hospital environment. The smooth surface forms an attractive finish that comes in a range of different colour options so not only is it a hard wearing and sanitary floor but is also visually appealing.
Heavy duty resin bound epoxy screeds
Again, heavy duty resin bound epoxy screeds provide a sealed, continuous surface and its smooth finish can be easily wiped cleaned and maintained. Quick and easy to install, resin bound epoxy screeds are incredibly tough and will remain resistant to wear and corrosion for a number of years. They come in a wide range of colour choices and can even come complete with an anti-slip finish for increased health and safety.
