Healthcare Flooring

Healthcare Flooring

Infection-control grade flooring for hospitals, clinics, and care environments across Hertfordshire.

Healthcare Flooring Solutions

For facilities like Hertford County Hospital and local clinics under the East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust, flooring is a critical component of infection control and patient safety. Every specification must balance clinical compliance with a calming, non-institutional appearance.

We install impervious, resilient sheet flooring from brands like Altro and Polyflor that can be hot-welded at the seams and integrated with coved skirtings to create a continuous, hygienic surface with no gaps for bacteria to harbour.

Key Features & Benefits

Infection Control Compliance

All healthcare flooring meets or exceeds HBN 00-10 Part B guidelines. We specify materials with sealed, impervious surfaces that withstand rigorous cleaning protocols including steam and chemical disinfection.

Slip Resistance Standards

For wet environments like patient bathrooms, shower rooms, and sluice areas, we specify products like Altro Aquarius which achieves a Pendulum Test Value (PTV) of ≥50 for assured slip resistance with both shoes and bare feet.

Coved Integral Skirting

We create fully tankable surfaces by heat-welding vinyl seams and terminating into coved formers. This eliminates corners where moisture and bacteria accumulate, supporting the most demanding NHS cleaning audits.

Acoustic Comfort

Ward and corridor flooring is selected with impact sound reduction in mind. Quieter environments improve patient recovery and reduce stress for both patients and clinical staff working long shifts.

Featured Case Study

Hertford County Hospital, Ward Refurbishment

  • Challenge: A clinical ward required a flooring upgrade to meet current East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust infection control standards. The work had to be completed without disrupting patient care in a live hospital environment.
  • Solution: We installed Altro Aquarius safety flooring, phasing the work overnight. The impervious sheet was hot-welded at all seams and terminated into coved formers to create a fully sealed, tankable surface achieving a PTV of ≥50.
  • Outcome: The ward now has a compliant, monolithic flooring system that prevents bacterial growth at junctions and supports the hospital's rigorous cleaning protocols.
