Health & Safety

Health systems are focused on improving the environment for caregivers, physicians and patients. The floor is a key component within the larger health system of interior finishes that can either contribute to or adversely impact health, safety and wellness yet no material selection is based upon a single attribute.

Making Informed Decisions

  • Patient outcomes and HCAHPS scores are top of mind, and it starts with facility design and product selection that has an actionable impact on the bottom line
  • Sustainability is key as we become more aware of the human and environmental impact of design choices
  • Minimize exposure to pathogens with integral wall base and seamless transitions for ease of cleaning and perception of cleanliness
  • When selecting and specifying a floor, you are impacting people in the built environment – their health and wellness
  • Third-party certification and transparency make it easy to find high-performance flooring that supports indoor air quality and meets the highest healthcare product certifications
