There is more to consider than just color and design when choosing the right clinic flooring for you.

In this blog, let's take a look at the key factors involved in choosing flooring for your medical clinic.

Different types of flooring are suitable for different spaces within a clinic. In high-traffic areas such as waiting rooms and corridors, you'll need more durable and resilient flooring. However, in spaces such as treatment rooms and sterile areas, infection control and slip resistance are top priorities.

Reception and waiting rooms

If you want to make a design statement with your flooring, then reception and waiting areas are the way to go.

Sheet vinyl flooring: a more natural flooring option for your waiting area. Sheet vinyl is designed to mimic the texture of wood or marble tiles or carpet. Durable and easy to clean with just regular mopping. For high-traffic areas, it boasts a T-rated wear level for durability.

Vinyl flooring rolls: also called PVC commercial flooring. It is easier to install. Patterns are available in terrazzo, carpet textures and more. It is low maintenance and has a high wear level. It is a good choice for medical clinics with large waiting areas. It also helps absorb sound and creates a welcoming feel.

Rolled vinyl medical flooring, the most popular material for medical clinic treatment room flooring, is also called homogeneous flooring. This flooring material is seamless, easy to clean and has an abrasion resistance rating of up to T, making it particularly suitable for high-traffic areas.

Wear resistance

Homogeneous flooring usually has a strong wear-resistant layer that makes it resistant to wear and scratches from everyday use. Ensure that you choose a floor with high wear resistance to prolong its service life. Homogeneous floors are able to withstand frequent use in high-traffic areas of hospitals and maintain long-term durability due to their special construction and wear-resistant layers.

Easy to clean and maintain

There are only a few cleaners in each clinic and they are also exposed to the threat of infection. Waste accumulates in the clinic all the time, so the floor must be easy to clean and maintain.

Waterproof

Clinics are full of people, especially the elderly and children, so it's not uncommon to spill water on the floor from time to time.

Homogeneous vinyl flooring is waterproof and astringent in water, ensuring people's safety.

Fire Resistant

All clinic floors need to be fireproof. This is to protect the lives of everyone, including patients and doctors.

Treatment Rooms

Especially in dental clinics, homogeneous flooring is highly antimicrobial and chemical resistant, making it ideal for rooms with high antimicrobial requirements such as infection control areas. It is a very affordable option that also offers excellent durability.

Antibacterial and fungicidal

Because clinics are places of concentrated patient flow, there are many different types of bacteria that can be present in the environment. Therefore antibacterial and fungicidal are necessary.

Homogeneous flooring has anti-bacterial and fungicidal properties, and especially adds anti-iodine properties. This will help to prevent the spread of germs in the clinic.

Consulting rooms, observation rooms

The choice of flooring for your consultation room depends on your personal taste. If you use homogeneous flooring in the reception, waiting and corridor areas, it is necessary to have homogeneous flooring throughout the consulting room to maintain a uniform appearance throughout the clinic. In addition, consultation and observation rooms need to create a quiet environment for patients.

Soundproofing

Observation rooms typically hold around 30 people, so it is important that the flooring is soundproof and absorbent so that it can better help people rest. Homogeneous vinyl flooring absorbs sound and creates a quiet environment.  

Environmentally Friendly

We know that some flooring contains TVOC and formaldehyde. This is not good for people's health. Or some floors need to wait 90 days after installation before people can live in them.

Homogeneous vinyl flooring is zero formaldehyde, which is far better than TVOC safety standards. This also means you can move into your hospital immediately after installation. This saves time and is good for people's health.

Other Considerations

If your clinic is large. Installing flooring can be a very tedious project, so using flooring that is easy to install can greatly reduce the difficulty of construction.

Easy and quick to install

Because homogeneous flooring is only 2mm thick and lightweight, it requires very little handling and installation.

The installation process is so simple that even a novice can learn how to install it in less than 10 minutes.

One roll of homogeneous flooring covers an area of 40 square meters, which makes it possible to install the flooring in one room in a very short time due to the large floor area. This greatly reduces construction time and increases efficiency.
