Education

From primary schools to universities, educational institution flooring endures constant traffic. While busy students don’t typically think about what concrete epoxy or other floor coating system may be beneath their feet, you do—and it has to be one that lasts.
Spaces adapted to the needs of students and staff support successful study habits, and the right floor coating system can help. Safe, brightly coloured school flooring can help create a positive learning atmosphere for young children. Resinous floor coatings in more subdued tones can promote concentration in older students as well. A neat, clean environment makes a noticeable improvement to your school—you can even add a school or team logo to encourage school spirit.
No matter where it’s installed in your facility, commercial epoxy flooring is up to the task. In a school weight room or gym, epoxy can withstand high weight loads and absorb shock without damaging the concrete substrate. In bathrooms, kitchens, and locker rooms, epoxy flooring with an integral cove base creates a seamless surface that’s easy to clean and will not harbour bacteria or mildew. Elsewhere, school epoxy flooring withstands heavy traffic, spills, dropped objects, and more. |

| Health Care and Medical |
 |
Healthcare & medical flooring systems must be designed, formulated and installed to accommodate highly demanding, 24/7 environments. Hospitals see thousands of patients a day and require quality floors that can withstand heavy foot traffic while creating an aesthetically pleasing environment. With expansive surface areas, hospital floors are a crucial design element when it comes to the quality environment and successful operation of any healthcare facility.
Hospital facility executives have the responsibility of selecting the best flooring system that will promote patient and staff safety, perform within hygiene and infection control protocols, improve patient experience and contribute to successful outcomes, reduce maintenance costs and offer a long usable life. Our flooring options are ideal for operating theatres, corridors and any location where enduring sanitation is important. |

Antimicrobial Properties and Sanitation
|
Due to harmful bacteria, bodily fluids, viruses and other dangerous substances found on the premises, medical facilities adhere to stringent cleaning and sanitation regiments that can stain and damage many standard types of flooring. High-performance floor coatings can be impressively resistant to solvents, extreme pH chemicals and staining.
Medical facilities are places of intense action, where many people move about quickly, 24 hours a day. Additionally, the needs of mobility-impaired individuals and ADA regulations must be taken into account. When flooring is slippery, uneven or if surface inconsistencies exist, floors can become a safety hazard. Slip-and-fall accidents are a common risk in healthcare facilities. Due to their ease of customization, fluid-applied flooring systems can be installed to meet the exact slip-resistance needs of a particular facility. This allows healthcare facility managers to consider their user population’s needs and therefore the suitability of various levels of skid-resistance for each space. |
