Solid surfaces choices can effect healthcare facility maintenance. Durability and consistent color are two of the important factors to consider, according to an article on the FacilityCare website.
Color consistency means selecting materials where the color isn’t just surface-deep to ensure the product will look good over the long term.
Also, darker colors are typically going to show more wear, and may potentially require more maintenance over time as a result.
Lighter colors might work better for heavy-use areas, but overall any surface product will show some degree of wear over time.
