Rubber flooring can enhance the safety of a healthcare facility when aesthetic concerns can take a back seat to good hygiene in the pathogen-laden environment, according to an article on the Sourceable website.
One of the chief advantages of rubber as a flooring material is its enhanced resistance to microorganisms.
In addition to its ability to help suppress the proliferation of harmful pathogens, rubber’s resilient, nonporous nature makes it easier to keep clean and hygienic.
Rubber floors have other functional advantages for healthcare facilities, including noise insulation and improved ergonomics.
