Rubber flooring can help with ergonomic benefits that enhance workplace safety and productivity and curb muscle fatigue, according to an article on the Healthcare Construction & Operations website.
Rubber flooring also resists chemicals and disinfectants, such as betadine and most spills can be removed easily without residual staining. The floor’s naturally bacteriostatic and fungistatic properties continue to inhibit the growth of bacteria.
The absence of fumes associated with some cleaning products contributes to improved indoor air quality, as does the absence of PVCs, plasticizers or halogens in the flooring.
The appearance of the floor can impact patients and staff. A soft, warm color palette in patient rooms and recovery areas can help relax the patient while areas geared toward children often rely on bright colors.
