Frequently Asked Questions About Healthcare Epoxy Flooring
What is the best flooring for a healthcare facility?
Medical-grade epoxy flooring is ideal for healthcare facilities due to its seamless, antimicrobial surface, chemical resistance, and durability. It outperforms vinyl and tile by eliminating joints where bacteria can harbour.
Is epoxy flooring used in hospitals?
Yes, epoxy flooring is widely used in hospitals throughout Brisbane and Australia. Its seamless nature, antimicrobial properties, and ability to withstand harsh disinfectants make it perfect for operating rooms and patient areas.
What health benefits do epoxy floors provide in medical settings?
Healthcare epoxy floors reduce infection transmission risk through seamless installation and antimicrobial additives. They eliminate crevices that harbour pathogens and resist bacterial growth during cleaning cycles.
How long does healthcare epoxy flooring installation take?
Most healthcare installations take 3-5 days, depending on area size and complexity. Our rapid-cure formulations allow for faster return to service, and we work in stages to minimise disruption to facility operations.
How long does epoxy resin last on healthcare floors?
Properly installed medical-grade epoxy flooring typically lasts 12-15 years in healthcare environments before requiring rejuvenation. High-traffic areas may need maintenance coats at 7-10 years to maintain optimal performance.
Can mould grow on an epoxy floor?
No, properly installed epoxy floors resist mould growth. The non-porous surface provides no organic material for mould to feed on, and our healthcare formulations include antimicrobial additives that actively inhibit fungal growth.
Is it expensive to install healthcare epoxy flooring?
While initial costs exceed standard flooring, healthcare epoxy systems deliver superior long-term value through reduced maintenance, longer lifespan, and improved infection control. Most facilities see ROI within 3-5 years.
What ruins healthcare epoxy floors?
Improper installation in humid conditions, exposure to unauthorised solvents, dragging heavy equipment, and using abrasive cleaning methods can damage epoxy floors. Our healthcare systems resist most medical chemicals and disinfectants.
Do healthcare epoxy floors require special maintenance?
Healthcare epoxy requires minimal specialised maintenance. Regular cleaning with facility-approved disinfectants is sufficient. We provide detailed protocols and recommend quarterly inspections to maintain optimal performance.
