In healthcare, choosing the right floor is crucial. A healthcare floor must meet strict requirements in terms of hygiene, safety and durability.
At ICM Projects we understand the importance of a floor that perfectly meets the needs of the healthcare sector. Discover all about our high-quality healthcare floors and how they can contribute to a safe and healthy environment in a general practitioner, dentist or veterinary practice.
A healthcare floor must meet strict requirements to ensure a safe and hygienic environment. Some essential features are:
When we talk about healthcare floors, we quickly think of seamless, liquid-tight and hygienic floors. Although this is an important aspect for floors in a treatment room, a comfortable floor in the waiting room will also be necessary.
To give you an idea of the possibilities for a healthcare floor, we discuss all suitable flooring solutions below for both treatment rooms and waiting rooms.
Treatment rooms in hospitals, dental practices and veterinary practices require special types of floors that can withstand heavy loads, chemicals and moisture. Below we discuss the most suitable floor types for healthcare treatment rooms.
An epoxy cast floor is a seamless masterpiece of durability, making it the ideal choice for healthcare treatment rooms. With its unparalleled hygienic properties, the floor seamlessly meets the strict regulations that apply in these critical environments.
Additionally, it effortlessly withstands the impact of chemicals, which is essential for maintaining a clean and safe treatment area. An epoxy cast floor not only provides a robust foundation, but also a foundation of trust in the integrity of the healthcare environment.
A polyurethane (PU) cast floor is extremely suitable for healthcare treatment rooms due to its unique combination of properties. With a soft and comfortable surface, it offers patients a pleasant experience, while also dampening noise, contributing to a calm and stress-free environment.
The seamless finish of the floor makes cleaning easy and effective, which is essential for a hygienic treatment environment. These properties flow seamlessly together in the polyurethane cast floor, in which comfort, sound insulation and ease of maintenance go hand in hand.
A linoleum floor is an excellent choice for healthcare treatment rooms for several reasons. First of all, this natural material is distinguished by its intrinsic antibacterial properties, which play a crucial role in maintaining a clean and hygienic environment.
The durability of linoleum is a testament to its ability to withstand heavy use, which is essential in a setting where the floor is subjected to daily activity. The seamless surface offers a practical advantage, because it is easy to clean and offers no space for dust and dirt accumulation.
Marmoleum is a thoughtful choice for healthcare flooring, specially designed to meet the high demands of treatment rooms. The floor offers a unique combination of environmental friendliness and anti-static properties, ensuring a clean and safe environment.
Thanks to the easy cleaning process, hygiene is effortlessly maintained, essential in any healthcare environment. In addition, the durability of marmoleum ensures that this floor is a long-term investment that meets the requirements of a treatment room both practically and aesthetically.
A trowel floor is an ideal choice for healthcare treatment rooms, due to its seamless nature and unprecedented robustness. These features not only ensure easy cleaning, but also provide solid protection against the daily wear and tear that a treatment room can undergo.
Trowel floors can easily withstand the heavy loads associated with medical equipment and foot traffic, providing a durable and reliable solution for the demanding healthcare environment.
Waiting rooms in hospitals, doctor’s offices and dental practices require different types of floors than treatment rooms. For example, floors in the waiting room must provide comfort and have a welcoming appearance. We discuss some suitable flooring options for waiting rooms in healthcare below.
A cast floor offers an excellent combination of style and functionality for a healthcare waiting room. With its sleek and modern appearance, the cast floor creates a professional atmosphere that is reassuring for patients.
Cast floors are also available in a range of colors and finishes, allowing them to be perfectly tailored to the specific needs and aesthetics of the waiting room in question.
A PVC floor is an ideal choice for a healthcare waiting room floor, given its unique properties that fit seamlessly with the requirements of this environment. Thanks to the wear resistance and durability of PVC, the floor can withstand intensive use and the constant flow of visitors, which is essential in a busy waiting room.
Additionally, the sound-absorbing nature of PVC provides a soothing atmosphere where patients can relax while they wait. The comfort that a PVC floor offers contributes to the well-being of patients, who often need a reassuring environment
A vinyl floor offers a competitively priced solution for healthcare floors in waiting rooms, and for good reason. The durability of vinyl allows waiting rooms to withstand daily wear and tear without losing their quality.
Vinyl floors are also easy to clean, which is very important in an environment where hygiene is of paramount importance. With its seamless finish, vinyl also prevents the accumulation of dirt and bacteria. This is in an environment where a clean environment is crucial for the well-being of the patients.
Carpet is an excellent choice for healthcare waiting room flooring because of its unique properties that perfectly suit the needs of this space.
First of all, it creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, making patients and visitors immediately feel at ease. Carpet also provides an unparalleled level of comfort, which is essential for people who may be tense during their visit.
It also acts as an effective sound-absorbing layer. This makes the space calmer and less stressful, and contributes to the overall well-being of visitors.
Healthcare floors is a broad concept that is widely applicable in practice. For example, healthcare floors can be used in hospitals, general practices, dental practices and veterinary practices.
Below we would like to tell you more about the specific requirements of a floor for each type of application within healthcare.
In hospitals, a healthcare floor is essential. This must not only meet high hygiene standards, but also be able to withstand heavy loads and be quick and easy to clean.
Our epoxy cast floors and polyurethane cast floors are excellent choices for hospitals, as they are seamless, liquid-tight and wear-resistant. Read more about the possibilities of hospital floors by clicking on the link.
A hygienic and durable floor is very important for general practices. Our linoleum and marmoleum floors are very suitable floors that meet the requirements of a general practice.
Dental practices require a floor that is resistant to chemicals and liquids. Epoxy cast floors offer the perfect solution for dental practices, because of their strong, liquid-tight and maintenance-friendly properties
In veterinary practices it is important that the floor is resistant to claws, urine and disinfectants, which are used to treat four-legged patients.
Our trowel floors are extremely suitable floors for veterinary practices. This is because trowel floors are not only wear-resistant and durable, but also have good resistance to liquids and chemicals.
Sometimes it is desirable to combine different floor types in a healthcare institution. For example, a combination of an epoxy cast floor in treatment rooms with a PVC floor in the waiting room. This way we can optimally meet the specific needs of each space.
