Best Flooring Options for Hospitals

When it comes to choosing the correct hospital flooring there are various factors to be considered. Hygiene is probably the most important feature you have to look for. Other things to consider include durability to heavy wear for foot traffic daily and cleanliness.

1. Flooring for Reception

Your entrance or reception is effectively the face of your hospital and will be the first impression of your establishment – so it is important to make it a positive one. You want to ensure that all the patients, as well as visitors, will have a welcome feel and safe as soon as they step through the front doors. One more thing to be kept in mind is that this area is most likely to have the most foot traffic and rolling loads as it is the entrance of the building after all! Using entrance floor mats from Rhino Floor is an affordable flooring option for your entrance as it is waterproof and durable to withstand heavy foot traffic.

2. Flooring for Hospital Room

This is an area where patients should feel homely and comfortable at their best. The floors in this space must always be clean and frequently disinfected. The correctly chosen floor will make it easier for you to have the unwanted transmission of infections under control and to limit the spread of hospital contagions. Using PVC floor tiles makes it the best choice as they can be installed rapidly. They are also durable, cost-effective, and offer noise reduction so that patients can get a good night’s rest. Moreover, if a certain part of the tiles is damaged, you can simply replace that specific tile, hence reducing the maintenance costs.

3. Flooring for Operation Room

Cleanliness is the most important factor to be considered in operation rooms, as it requires strict infection control and remains usable 24-7. It is better to choose vinyl flooring that comes with coating that resist chemical staining from medical products and bodily fluids. The materials used should promote indoor air quality and emit only very less volatile organic compounds.

4. Flooring for Corridor

The hallways and corridors of your hospital will have to bear a lot of foot traffic as well as wear and tear from medical carts, stretchers, and wheelchairs. To minimize these disruptions, flooring in corridors requires highly durable materials that minimize maintenance and promote anti-slip properties to avoid unwanted injury. Using heavy duty tiles can reduce the installation tiles as well as provide a protective coating that resists scratches.

5. Flooring for Nurse’s Station

The staff spends most of their time in these environments, and nurse’s stations never shut down. There will also be patients coming and going all the time. Flooring should promote stress reduction, comfort, and 24-7 access with materials that allow rapid installation and minimize maintenance. Using floor tiles with protective coatings will be the best, as they’ll resist scratches and minimize maintenance works.
