We provide operating theatre flooring installation throughout Calne for new installations, refurbishments and replacement flooring projects.
Flooring systems can include:
Healthcare vinyl flooring
Sheet vinyl flooring
Safety flooring
Hygienic flooring
Welded flooring systems
Coved flooring
Specialist resin flooring
The appropriate system should be selected according to the requirements of the operating theatre and the wider healthcare flooring specification.
Operating theatres place specific demands on floor finishes.
Flooring may need to withstand:
Heavy mobile equipment
Rolling loads
Frequent spillages
Regular cleaning
Disinfection
Intensive use
The floor finish should also provide a smooth surface that allows the movement of wheeled equipment.
Operating theatre flooring must be suitable for the cleaning and disinfection procedures used within the facility.
Clinical flooring should be capable of being cleaned to the required hygiene standard and should not be physically degraded by the detergents and disinfectants used.
Continuous flooring systems can reduce joints and exposed edges within the clinical environment.
Sheet flooring can be installed with welded seams to create a continuous floor finish.
Coved skirting creates a continuous return between the floor and wall.
Instead of terminating at a conventional skirting board, the flooring material extends upwards at the perimeter of the room.
This reduces difficult-to-clean junctions and provides a continuous floor-to-wall transition.
Coved flooring can be combined with welded sheet flooring for operating theatres and other clinical environments.
Healthcare vinyl is a suitable flooring option for many operating theatre environments.
Sheet vinyl provides a smooth and durable surface and can be installed with welded joints and coved perimeter details.
The flooring specification should account for the expected traffic, equipment, cleaning regime and operational requirements of the theatre.
We install operating theatre vinyl flooring throughout Calne as part of new-build and refurbishment projects.
Joints within clinical flooring can create areas where dirt and moisture collect if they are not correctly detailed.
Welded sheet flooring creates sealed joints between adjoining sections of flooring.
The resulting floor provides a continuous finish suitable for areas subject to frequent cleaning.
Where required, welded flooring can be combined with coved skirting to continue the flooring system around the perimeter of the theatre.
The slip resistance required for an operating theatre should be determined by the conditions in which the floor will be used.
The specification should consider potential contamination, spillages, footwear and cleaning procedures.
Flooring should provide appropriate slip resistance without introducing excessive surface texture that could interfere with cleaning or the movement of wheeled equipment.
The performance of the finished flooring depends on the condition of the underlying subfloor.
Operating theatre flooring should be installed onto a suitable surface that is smooth, stable and free from defects that could affect the finished floor.
Preparation can include:
Existing flooring removal
Adhesive removal
Subfloor repairs
Smoothing compounds
Moisture testing
Surface preparation
The required preparation should be determined after assessing the existing floor.
We provide replacement operating theatre flooring for healthcare facilities in Calne.
Existing flooring can be removed before the subfloor is inspected and prepared for the new system.
Where flooring is being replaced within an operational hospital or surgical facility, installation can be planned around the requirements of the site.
Operating theatre flooring may form part of a wider flooring project covering connected surgical and clinical areas.
We can provide flooring for:
Operating theatres
Anaesthetic rooms
Preparation areas
Recovery areas
Clinical corridors
Scrub areas
Treatment rooms
Surgical departments
Each area should be assessed according to its use and flooring requirements.
The flooring specification should be determined by the requirements of the individual operating theatre.
Important considerations include:
Hygiene and cleanability
Resistance to cleaning agents
Resistance to disinfectants
Rolling loads
Heavy mobile equipment
Spillages
Slip resistance
Wheeled traffic
Subfloor condition
Floor-to-wall junctions
The selected system should provide a floor finish appropriate for the clinical and operational requirements of the space.
