Just as the activities in laboratories are preceded by extensive test cycles, the development of quality lab floors ensures that nothing is left to chance, and they serve their purpose effectively. After all, you want to be sure that the floor meets all necessary requirements. Specific demands are placed on laboratory flooring based on the activities carried out within them. The flooring specialists at HIM are here to assist you every step of the way.
Whether it’s a laboratory for healthcare, pharmaceuticals, chemistry, engineering, or education, the activities conducted here are the core of the organization. For safe work and obtaining pure research data, the space must be designed to eliminate all unwanted external influences. Within this context, the floor plays a crucial role, providing a stable and reliable base for the precision work that takes place.
Below are the key and most requested quality attributes for lab floors:

A seamlessly applied lab floor has no joints or gaps where dirt, moisture, or dust can accumulate. This makes the floor easier to clean than many traditional floor finishes. Its antistatic properties also help prevent dust and dirt particles from adhering to the surface. The right cleaning products and a consistent maintenance routine remain important, especially in spaces with high hygiene requirements. By aligning cleaning, chemical load, and floor finish in advance, the floor remains reliable and presentable for longer.

A lab floor can be tailored to the liquids used in the laboratory. HIM lab floors are standard liquid-tight and highly resistant to the spillage of aggressive liquids. However, the required chemical resistance varies by substance, concentration, temperature, and duration of contact. It is therefore important to map out in advance which chemicals are present and how the floor will be cleaned. This allows the floor system to be selected based on actual use, minimizing damage to the floor and substrate.

An ESD floor is needed when electrostatic discharge poses risks to sensitive equipment, measurement results, or personnel. This is particularly relevant in laboratories with microelectronics, precision instruments, or sensitive process equipment. A standard antistatic floor limits the build-up of static charge, but an ESD floor is specifically designed to dissipate that charge in a controlled manner. The appropriate solution depends on the equipment present, applicable project requirements, and the overall ESD setup of the space, including footwear, workstations, and grounding.
