Next, we will provide you with a guide to purchasing flooring from different functional areas of the medical institution.

Corridor, registration area

Public places such as hospital corridors and registration areas are areas with relatively large flow of people. There is often heavy foot traffic and heavy rolling loads such as equipment carts, stretchers, med carts and wheelchairs. The wear resistance of the floor in this area is particularly important.

If the flooring in this area does not have good wear resistance, the flooring is prone to wear and tear. In these cases, the floor can easily have a negative impact on the use effect.

 
PVC homogeneous floor

PVC homogeneous flooring, PVC foam flooring, and PVC compact flooring are all PVC floors. Among the three, PVC homogeneous flooring has the best wear resistance.

Why does PVC homogeneous flooring have the best wear resistance? Because this floor is the same color from top to bottom. Even if we accidentally wear the PVC homogeneous floor. The worn parts are also no different from the surface.

Therefore, compared with other floors, PVC homogeneous floors are more wear-resistant. In some places with large flow of people, such as corridors and registration areas of medical institutions. We recommend you use PVC homogeneous flooring.

PVC homogeneous flooring can better adapt to corridors, registration areas, etc. with large flow of people.
 

Ward 

What is a ward? Generally refers to general wards, intensive care units, tracheostomy bacterial monitoring wards, and infectious disease isolation wards. Some hospitals have senior cadre wards, special needs wards and integrated medical and nursing care wards.

For example, suites, single rooms and other supporting facilities, family wards - set up at home, etc. In short, a ward is generally a special room or place with medical beds, treatment facilities, living facilities, and rehabilitation equipment for sick people.

We recommend that wards in medical institutions choose PVC coiled flooring. Because professional installers can achieve seamless installation of membrane flooring through professional installation techniques. Make the ward space more hygienic and clean. More importantly, it can create a better recovery environment for patients.
 

Regarding the purchase of ward floors, we give the following two ideas. You can choose the appropriate suggestions based on your actual needs.

Sufficient budget

PVC homogeneous floor 

With sufficient budget. We strongly recommend that you choose PVC homogeneous flooring. PVC homogeneous floor has outstanding wear resistance. More durable than other floors.

Insufficient budget 

When the budget is not enough. We strongly recommend you PVC solid flooring.

Compared with corridors and outpatient departments. The flow of people in the ward is relatively small. The wear resistance to the floor can also be relatively low.

Therefore, when choosing flooring for a ward, you can choose the right flooring based on your specific budget.
 

Department

What are hospital departments? Hospital departments generally include: pediatrics, dermatology, obstetrics and gynecology, internal medicine, etc. Based on the department’s traffic flow and daily usage. We generally also recommend the use of PVC homogeneous floors in departments of medical institutions.

Departments of medical institutions use PVC homogeneous floors, which can better withstand daily foot traffic. And PVC homogeneous flooring has many high-quality properties. For example: ultra-high wear resistance, fire resistance, pressure resistance, anti-static properties, light transmittance, sound insulation, anti-corrosion, chemical resistance, etc.
 

These properties can better create a better hygienic environment for doctors and patients.Therefore, installing PVC homogeneous flooring in hospital departments will be a good choice.

 
It is worth noting that PVC homogeneous floors are generally more expensive than PVC dense floors. However, PVC transparent floors generally have better wear resistance than PVC dense floors.

 
More importantly, regarding the wear resistance of PVC flooring. The wear resistance grades of PVC flooring from high to low are T, P, M and F. Class T has almost zero wear and tear.

 
Therefore, if you want the floor to be more wear-resistant, we strongly recommend that you choose a floor with a higher wear-resistant grade.

 
The above are our suggestions about Healthcare Flooring, taking medical institutions as an example. I hope it can help you if you are currently or need to purchase flooring in the future.
