Laboratory flooring systems include:
Sheet vinyl flooring
Healthcare vinyl flooring
Resin flooring
Hygienic flooring
Safety flooring
Slip-resistant flooring
Coved flooring
Welded flooring systems
The flooring specification should be selected according to the use of the laboratory, cleaning requirements, expected traffic, equipment and substances likely to come into contact with the floor.
Flooring for Medical Laboratories
Medical laboratories require flooring suitable for controlled working environments and regular cleaning.
We install flooring for:
Pathology laboratories
Hospital laboratories
Diagnostic laboratories
Research laboratories
Testing laboratories
Sample preparation areas
Laboratory storage areas
Clinical support areas
Laboratory corridors
The flooring system should be matched to the activities and performance requirements of each area.
Laboratory Vinyl Flooring Hinckley
Sheet vinyl provides a smooth and practical floor finish for medical and healthcare laboratories.
Vinyl flooring can be installed with welded seams to create a continuous surface between adjoining sheets.
Coved perimeter details can also be incorporated where a continuous transition between the floor and wall is required.
We install laboratory vinyl flooring throughout Hinckley for new and existing laboratory facilities.
Resin Laboratory Flooring
Resin flooring provides a hard-wearing floor finish for laboratories with demanding operational requirements.
Different resin systems can provide different levels of:
Chemical resistance
Wear resistance
Slip resistance
Impact resistance
Moisture resistance
Surface durability
The required resin system should be selected according to the substances, equipment and working conditions present within the laboratory.
Hygienic Laboratory Flooring
Laboratory flooring should provide a surface that can be effectively cleaned and maintained.
Sheet and seamless flooring systems reduce the number of joints within the finished floor.
Welded sheet flooring can create continuous joints between sections of vinyl, while resin systems can provide a continuous floor finish across the area.
The flooring specification should be compatible with the cleaning procedures used within the laboratory.
Chemical-Resistant Laboratory Flooring
Some laboratories require flooring capable of withstanding exposure to chemicals or other substances used within the facility.
The required level of chemical resistance depends on the substances present, their concentration, frequency of exposure and the way the laboratory operates.
Resin and specialist flooring systems can be specified where additional chemical resistance is required.
The flooring material should always be selected against the specific chemical exposure expected within the laboratory.
Pathology Laboratory Flooring
Pathology laboratories form part of healthcare environments used for the examination and testing of clinical samples.
Flooring in these areas should be selected according to the activities carried out within the laboratory and the cleaning and operational requirements of the facility.
Suitable systems can include sheet vinyl, welded flooring and specialist resin flooring.
We provide flooring for pathology laboratories and associated laboratory areas in Hinckley.
Coved Laboratory Flooring
Coved flooring creates a continuous transition between the floor and perimeter wall.
The flooring material is formed upwards at the edge of the room rather than terminating at floor level.
This reduces exposed floor-to-wall junctions and creates a detail that is easier to clean.
Coved skirting can be combined with welded vinyl or resin flooring systems where required.
Slip-Resistant Laboratory Flooring
The level of slip resistance required depends on the activities carried out within the laboratory and the likelihood of contamination reaching the floor.
Additional slip resistance may be required where liquids, water or other substances are regularly present.
The flooring specification should consider the expected contamination, cleaning procedures and working conditions within the area.
Laboratory Flooring for Wheeled Equipment
Laboratories can contain mobile workstations, trolleys, equipment and other wheeled loads.
Flooring should provide a suitable surface for the expected movement of equipment while withstanding the associated traffic.
The type of equipment, weight of loads and frequency of movement should be considered when specifying the flooring system.
Laboratory Flooring Refurbishment Hinckley
We provide replacement laboratory flooring for existing facilities in Hinckley.
The existing flooring and subfloor should be assessed before installation to determine the preparation required.
Floor preparation can include:
Existing flooring removal
Adhesive removal
Subfloor repairs
Smoothing compounds
Moisture testing
Surface preparation
The new flooring should be installed onto a suitably prepared and stable substrate.
Laboratory Flooring Requirements
Laboratory flooring should be selected according to the specific activities carried out within the facility.
Important considerations include:
Cleanability
Chemical exposure
Slip resistance
Foot traffic
Wheeled equipment
Spillages
Cleaning procedures
Surface durability
Subfloor condition
Floor-to-wall junctions
Medical laboratories, pathology laboratories and specialist testing areas can therefore require different flooring systems.
