The newest healthcare facility flooring options include first adhesive free flooring and designs that mimic our internal clockwork, according to an article on the Architecture and Design website.
From floors that stand up to frequent spills, to an option that is adhesive-free, the article explored the latest flooring products that could meet needs in a healthcare or aged care project.
One recent carpet tile and broadloom collection designed specifically for healthcare environments takes inspiration from the shifting light of day captured from day to night, mimicking the internal clockwork of people’s daily routines.
Another option is made with impervious backing and is designed for areas that see frequent spills from coffee cups to other bodily fluids.
Another option comes with double-sided tape and can be applied on a new concrete floor, existing tiles and flaky paint, and used where traditional adhered safety flooring is inappropriate.
