Hygiene and safety are two of the most important factors to consider when it comes to healthcare settings, and flooring can play a crucial role in improving both of these factors. In this guide, we’ll run through our range of specialised flooring for healthcare settings.
The benefits of our healthcare flooring
By opting for healthcare flooring from E&M Services, there are many benefits you can gain, including:
Slip-resistant flooring
Slips, trips, and falls are a top risk to hospital patients and care home residents, and can result in life-threatening injuries. That’s why it’s important to opt for a slip-resistant flooring. The right choice of healthcare flooring can help to reduce the number of falls and their severity.
This is especially important in busy environments where spillages or high levels of moisture are likely to occur. The choice of safety flooring will differ for different healthcare settings. At E&M Services, we can work with you to provide the ideal and safest flooring option depending on your needs.
Easy to clean and maintain
Hygiene is one of (if not the) biggest factors to consider for healthcare. Preventing the spread of germs, diseases, and bacteria is clinically vital. That’s why opting for low-maintenance flooring is vital for creating a safe and sanitary space.
The healthcare flooring options from E&M Services provide a smooth, seamless, and non-porous surface that can withstand the most rigorous of cleaning. This ensures your healthcare flooring is both functional and impervious to dirt and bacteria.
Durable and long-lasting
Healthcare floors need to withstand a lot of daily pressure, whether it’s high levels of foot traffic, moving medical equipment, or the weight of heavy furniture. This is why E&M Services provides a range of high-quality flooring alternatives that are both durable and long-lasting to ensure they stand up against excessive daily wear.
Improved comfort
Opting for a healthcare flooring that provides comfort while balancing the other factors is vital. Whether it’s to reduce staff fatigue from standing for long periods or providing cushioning during a fall, comfort is another top priority when choosing healthcare flooring.
Certain flooring provides cushioning layers that help to provide extra comfort for patients, visitors, and healthcare professionals. This can be particularly important in patient care areas, such as wards, or care home settings. All our healthcare flooring options from E&M Services provide cushioning and shock-absorbent properties for improved comfort.
Reduced noise levels
Healthcare settings can be noisy environments and excessive noise levels can have a negative effect on patient’s recovery. By opting for healthcare flooring from E&M Services, we can provide high-quality sound-absorbent flooring that helps to reduce high noise levels.
