INTRODUCTION

The healthcare industry and hospital floorings has a unique set of challenges in the flooring world. We will need to consider a various number of factors when choosing hospital floorings like what areas in the hospital need flooring, what type of flooring is best suited for that area, longevity of a flooring, durability, and what type of flooring is comfort for underfoot,  Aesthetics, point load and rolling load requirements, cleanability and cost are also critical components in your hospital flooring choice. It is important to take everything into account to make the right decision about floorings in hospitals.

We know that “the first impression is the best impression” likewise the first place your patients and their families will experience is the entrance of the hospital so it should need to be well maintained and germ free Hygiene floors. Therefore, you will want to accommodate not only high foot traffic issues but rolling load traffic considerations as well. The entrance area corridors and public spaces will have the most traffic so the flooring of the hospital need to withstand heavy loads.  These Hygiene Floors will need a high level of cleanability as well as durability. The hospital flooring product for these sections should be non-slip to avoid any injuries to patients or staff and should be water and stain resistant and offer a high level of durability. A good choice for flooring in hospitals would be epoxy flooring, vinyl flooring, luxury vinyl tile (LVT), vinyl composition tile (VCT), sheet vinyl, rubber, or linoleum.

For Operation Theatre Flooring in hospitals, the trend is toward welded sheet rubber with “Dri Fit” tape or two-part urethane epoxy. (Dri Fit is a double-sided adhesive tape used for its strength and durability.) It’s also worth mentioning, the advent of new acrylic spray adhesive that manufactures are touting for under patient beds and operating rooms. Both options allow for quick turnaround times with installation which is a plus for any hospital. Rubber flooring withstands the movement of heavy hospital beds, x-ray machines, gurneys, and other equipment.

EPOXY FLOORING IN HOSPITALS

Hospitals, medical clinics, health centres and other medical facilities are known for their ability to respond to a variety of emergencies, along with providing a hygiene, safety and healthy environment for the people in need of medical care. When it comes to providing a healthy and hygiene environment, medical facilities utilize epoxy coatings for their flooring needs, as they provide the best benefits in terms of hygiene that can pass medical regulations.

By using epoxy flooring for medical clinics and hospitals and it helps to turn the floors into safer and healthy environments for their patients and staff.

VINYL FLOORING

Vinyl flooring is nothing but a monolithic and has no joints. This minimizes bacteria growth and helps fight hospital-acquired / bacterial infections.

The main reason for using vinyl plank flooring is the fact that it is 100% water resistant. This means surface water and spills won’t affect the flooring. This quality makes it the ideal flooring solution for hospital and medical clinics as well as basements, kitchens, bathrooms, restaurants and cafes. Vinyl floor lasts for 10-20 years.

Vinyl flooring is highly durable. If the vinyl floor is installed and maintained correctly, it can last upwards of 10-20 years. That why we said, vinyl is a great choice for the rooms in your house that get the most foot traffic. Additionally, most vinyl flooring has a wear layer on its surface that resists scratches and stains. Hospital vinyl flooring has a thickness of 2mm to 5mm.

Luxury vinyl planks are in themselves, completely water-proof and cannot be damaged by exposure to moisture. For that reason they are an excellent choice for laundry rooms, bathrooms, kitchens and other areas where moisture is around.

Though vinyl flooring has immense advantages it also has some problems include crumpling at the edges, as the adhesive has loosened, or, as in case of LVT, problems with abatement chemicals which can react adversely with these flooring materials. If you are installing click-lock vinyl planks, uneven substrate can lead to lifting of the flooring’s edges and joints.

Thus, many hospitals still choose to use this vinyl flooring for its environment because they are effective.
