In a healthcare environment, the focus is on hygiene and safety. And flooring plays a major role in ensuring patient and resident safety as well as staff efficiency.
At 1st Choice Flooring Solutions, we partner with leading suppliers in the industry to offer the best choice of flooring for a range of complex healthcare settings. We also specialise in the installation of flooring to the healthcare sector with solutions that adhere to the latest health and safety regulations.
Creating a hygienic workplace
Market leaders in specialist flooring have devised production techniques that coat flooring materials with a surface that can resist water and oil-based spillages. This makes the flooring easy to clean and ultra-hygienic.
The latest vinyl flooring solutions have been designed with healthcare in mind, offering durable and water-resistant surfaces that are perfect for wards, waiting rooms and corridors.
The other advantage of vinyl is that it’s a smooth surface with no gaps to house bacteria. It’s also comfortable underfoot, making it the first choice for many residential healthcare settings.
Altro slip-resistant flooring provides a complete package for healthcare environments as it’s designed to give a safe and hygienically clean surface. With R10 slip resistance, it’s safe even when wet, throughout the lifetime of the floor.
It’s also a grout-free, impervious surface that coves to walls to prevent dirt accumulation around the perimeter. Altro slip-resistant flooring gives a highly resilient surface that’s comfortable underfoot and reduces ambient noise levels.
Amtico Flooring produces luxury vinyl tiles and flooring designed for high-traffic areas. Made in Britain, their stunning floors are manufactured from several layers laminated together to form strong, safe and stylish vinyl flooring.
Making sure your flooring is safe
In a healthcare environment, it’s vital to ensure flooring is safe for everyone that comes into contact with it. That can mean vulnerable patients, elderly residents, their visitors, and busy members of staff.
Slips and trips are the biggest hazards, which is why it’s vital to install a flooring solution that’s appropriate for high traffic. At 1st Choice Flooring, we supply and install the latest safety flooring from leading manufacturers.
Vinyl, rubber, linoleum and carpet tiles are all options for complex healthcare settings where different flooring performance is needed in different areas.
