Unmatched Durability

The strength of epoxy terrazzo flooring is perfect for high-traffic hospital settings. Areas found within a healthcare facility including lobbies, hallways, and emergency rooms stand to benefit from the maximum lifecycle of terrazzo.

 

Epoxy terrazzo is the most cost-effective flooring solution to choose for healthcare facilities. Other flooring systems require more repairs and replacements over time thus costing building owners more money after the installation. Epoxy terrazzo covers large areas with little need for repairs or replacements over its lifecycle.

 

Epoxy terrazzo is proven to stand the test of time. It’s a high-performance flooring system that typically lasts the lifetime of any healthcare building.

Better Health for Patients

We all go to the doctors to feel better. But did you know it is possible to contract a Healthcare-Associated Infection (HAI) during a visit? According to Health.gov1 in 25 inpatients will carry an infection related to hospital care.

 

To address concerns related to hospital-borne infections, healthcare systems can turn to terrazzo as its choice of flooring. An epoxy terrazzo floor is nonporous which prevents the growth and spread of bacteria, mold, and mildew.

 

In addition to antimicrobial growth, zero VOCs in epoxy terrazzo improve the overall indoor air quality in hospital settings, helping patients breathe much easier.

Preventing Falls in Hospitals

Falls are among the largest reported accidents in hospitals. Patient falls can be prevented with poured-in-place epoxy terrazzo flooring.

 

A smooth terrazzo finish reduces the likelihood of falls. No joints allows more accessibility for patients navigating with a walker, crutch or wheelchair throughout the building.

 

In addition to its seamless finish, epoxy terrazzo meets ADA recommendations for slip resistance flooring in dry and wet conditions. Antislip floors offer safety for inpatients and visitors.
