When outfitting a healthcare facility, flooring is one of the most critical elements. Whether it’s for a hospital, dental office, or clinic, the heavy equipment, high foot traffic, and biological contaminants mean you can’t leave anything to chance—especially when the health of your patients and employees is on the line.
There are many hospital flooring options, including vinyl, laminate, and tile, but none covers the specific needs of healthcare facilities like concrete and epoxy flooring. The top choice among healthcare facility developers, epoxy prioritizes patient comfort and safety by providing a seamless and durable surface. The flooring is easy to clean and resists slips and falls in high-traffic areas, making it perfect for nurse’s stations, operating rooms, patient rooms, waiting rooms, and emergency rooms.
With so much at stake in healthcare environments, your flooring needs to be up to the challenge of remaining safe and durable, day after day. Of all the options for hospital or healthcare flooring, epoxy offers the perfect combination of beauty and functionality. Here's how:
Epoxy is a slip-resistant coating that minimizes the risk of falls and accidents in areas prone to moisture or spills. Additionally, epoxy has a reflective property that improves lighting and visibility. You can even opt to outfit your facility with double broadcast quartz floors, which create a high coefficient of friction—a measurement used to determine how slippery a floor surface can get—and can be combined with several different flooring systems, including urethane cement. This is a popular hospital flooring choice, as the top coat also ensures resistance against chemicals, acids, and bacteria.
Healthcare facility flooring routinely collects potentially dangerous biohazards such as viruses, bacteria, and bodily fluids. Concrete and epoxy floors are preferred hospital flooring types because they are easy to disinfect and maintain due to their seamless, non-porous, easy-to-sanitize surfaces, which helps prevent the spread of infections.
Concrete and epoxy flooring can withstand very heavy weight and resists wear and tear, making it ideal for areas like hospital corridors, operating rooms, and waiting areas that may contain heavy machinery. For a protective layer imbued with durability and longevity, our urethane cement’s high-yield “bulletproof system” provides the highest vapor transmission and hydrostatic pressure tolerance for a long-lasting solution.
Out of all healthcare and hospital flooring options, epoxy floors are the best at helping reduce noise to provide a quieter, less stressful environment for patients and staff. Epoxy also provides comfort underfoot to provide relief for staff who are on their feet all day. Additionally, epoxy flooring offers aesthetic flexibility to match the hospital design and promote a calming, professional atmosphere. Hospitals can use different colors to aid in wayfinding, and burnishing options create a smooth and sealed surface that makes the concrete resistant to staining.
