Healthcare demands a high level of specialization—not only in patient and resident care but also in the flooring of healthcare facilities. Whether it’s a rehabilitation center, hospital, nursing home, or assisted living facility, our healthcare flooring provides a safe, comfortable, and functional foundation for both temporary stays and long-term living. Below, you’ll find everything you need to know about suitable flooring solutions for healthcare.
Safe flooring solutions
At HIM, we prioritize your safety. This commitment is evident in our healthcare flooring, which focuses on:
- Reducing the risk of falls. Floors can become slippery, especially when wet, increasing the risk of falls. This is particularly dangerous for individuals with pre-existing injuries. By adding a layer of anti-slip powder to the floor coatings, we achieve the desired roughness to minimize the risk of slipping.
- Safely discharging static energy. The buildup of electrostatic charge, often caused by movement, can be hazardous in certain situations. For example, in operating rooms where ventilators are used or in spaces housing individuals with pacemakers. ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) floors offer a solution in these cases. These floors neutralize electrical pulses, preventing damage to equipment and harm to people. When combined with an antistatic coating, personal charging is also prevented.
- Preventing contamination. Hygiene is of utmost importance, especially for vulnerable individuals. Easy-to-clean floors and walls are essential. HIM floors are applied seamlessly, preventing dirt from accumulating in cracks and crevices. The floors are also liquid-tight, making them easy to clean. For an additional hygienic feature, a trowel floor can be used to create a coved skirting that seamlessly connects the floor to the wall, a solution often applied in sanitary areas.
User-friendly flooring solutions
Ease of use is also a key consideration in our flooring solutions, including features such as:
- Providing optimal freedom of movement. Whether people walk on them or move across them with walkers and wheelchairs, floors must offer enough stability and grip to allow for free movement. Polyurethane floors, in particular, are well-suited for this purpose due to their slight cushioning effect.
- Marking walkways. Lines or markings can be added to our floors to indicate walkways, improving flow, especially in hospitals and other large healthcare facilities.
