Epoxy Flooring in Hospitals
Medical and healthcare settings require a flooring solution that’s easy to clean, resists microorganisms, is non-slip and can stand up to the rigours of heavy 24/7 use. Few industries are as dependent on long-lasting, sanitary flooring, where hygiene and cleanliness are of the utmost importance. Therefore, flooring systems in such locations must be designed, formulated and installed to accommodate this highly demanding environment.
Epoxy flooring meets all these criteria, as well as being one of the most economical options available. In addition, Epoxy flooring in hospitals is highly resistant to strong detergents, disinfectants and chemicals, meaning it’s easy to clean up liquid spills and dirt of all kinds.
The unique, non-porous composition of medical grade epoxy flooring mean its attributes remain in place for many years. In contrast to other flooring options that add antimicrobial layers to the surface, epoxy’s benefits don’t wear over time. This allows the floor to retain its integrity for far longer than other materials. It can also be customised in virtually any colour and bespoke designs can be incorporated – as can a wide variety of finishes.
