Concrete is one of the most highly recommended flooring options in the healthcare world. It is often strongly recommended for hospitals and related facilities, with many people pointing to its durability when compared to other materials. Durability is a concern. But those building hospitals often wonder how much of a concern it really is. After all, there are many durable types of flooring. Does concrete really matter this much? Will other types of flooring really become so damaged that it could impact the work at the hospital? How Hospital Flooring Options Hold Up Healthcare facilities are subject to unique and rigorous demands due to their high-traffic nature, stringent hygiene requirements, and the presence of heavy medical equipment. The flooring in these environments must withstand these challenges while maintaining safety and cleanliness. This is something that very few other types of flooring can provide, and while some can offer some support here and there, most of the time, only concrete makes sense as a safe choice: Durability – Healthcare environments experience constant foot traffic from staff, patients, and visitors. The use […]

Healthcare associated infections (HIAs) are a major concern in facilities like hospitals, emergency rooms, clinics, and senior care facilities. Because these locations often deal with contagious diseases, there can be a significant number of germs present, putting already high risk people in greater danger and compounding health problems. The CDC estimates that approximately 3% of hospital patients contract an HIA per day. These infections often come from contact with contaminated surfaces. Enhanced cleaning is the leading way to prevent HIAs and, as a floor often represents the largest surface in health care facilities, installing an antimicrobial concrete floor can help mitigate infections and make thorough cleaning easier. What Makes Concrete Floors Antimicrobial There are two leading concrete flooring options for facilities that require medical clinic flooring. Polished concrete is one option that uses fine diamond grit sandpaper to achieve a smooth surface and epoxy coating is another option that relies on a resinous epoxy layer applied over a concrete flooring base. Both solutions are durable, attractive, anti-slip, and affordable in addition to being anti-microbial due to the following properties: Non Porous – […]

Low airborne particle counts in clean rooms.pharmaceutical In addition to the naturally smooth surface and easy cleaning capabilities of epoxy floor coatings, this is also the ideal material for meeting the last two of […]
