Epoxy Flooring in Aged Care Facilites
With Australia's ever-increasing ageing population, there are many new aged care facilities being constructed in suburban and country areas, along with extensive refurbishment projects to existing facilities. Flooring choice is of the utmost importance for these facilities as elderly people often develop joint mobility issues and use walking aids and wheelchairs to move around. Epoxy flooring has become the flooring of choice in many of these facilities, as it meets many of the health and safety requirements, when correctly specified and professionally installed.
Slip resistance is a crucial consideration in this space. Within the aged care space, there can be wet areas including swimming & therapy pools, kitchens, laundries & bathrooms.
They're also hard which assists an extended life of the floor, particularly in built up high trafficable areas.
Independent slip testing contractors are typically engaged to test, rate & certify the final floor finish.
Another major benefit of epoxy flooring is that it provides a seamless floor that is easily cleaned, and won’t harbour bacteria or mould, which is extremely important in an aged care environment.
Epoxy Flooring in Childcare Facilities
As you can appreciate, facilities such as schools, kindergartens, and childcare centres are required to comply with strict safety standards. The flooring must be able to withstand wheeled toys, playtime spills, little accidents, and stains that kids inevitably leave behind. The flooring must be easy to clean and sanitised to keep germs and bacteria at bay and maintain a healthy, low-allergy environment. In addition, flooring must be comfortable, slip-resistant, and soft enough for comfort and safety.
Commercial epoxy flooring is the best child-friendly choice for flooring in all types of child facilities for many solid reasons:
- Provides a seamless floor that is easily cleaned. Dirt, grime & spills are easily mopped with a mild pH neutral detergent.
- It can be used in wet areas, classrooms, hallways, common areas, and external areas with different levels of slip resistance to provide a safe environment.
- It is extremely durable and remains looking good and performing well for many years, despite the pitter-patter of many little feet.
- When installed by an accredited & trained professional, the floor, at a minimum, complies with safety standards and, at best, eliminates near misses, accidents & incidents attributed to issues within the floor.
Aged Care Facility Flooring
Mobility issues can be a constant challenge for aged care residents, making stability underfoot essential to prevent falls. Walking aids and wheel chairs operate better when there is a smooth, firm, slip resistant surface. Epoxy flooring offers a safe surface for residents, visitors and staff in aged care facilities.
