Durable resilient flooring is a versatile choice for facilities managers
Resilient flooring is known to be hard-wearing, durable, long-lasting, tough and hardy. This robust flooring surface has been the number one choice for professionals who oversee flooring in areas with heavy foot traffic and general use.
Types of resilient flooring can include:
- Vinyl composition tile (VCT)
- Polyvinyl (PVC)
- Sheet vinyl
- Luxury vinyl tile (LVT)
- Linoleum and rubber
Get extremely durable floors with a resilient flooring renewal option
According to a Morder Intelligence report, resilient flooring is experiencing high growth in European countries because flooring, such as LVT, meets the demands of designers and is extremely durable and sustainable. Grandview Research notes that "The Europe vinyl flooring market size was valued at USD 8.9 billion in 2019 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.1% from 2020 to 2027."
After time, however, resilient flooring can begin to show signs of wear and tear and can even become slippery or hazardous. Many facilities choose to endure the expense and downtime to tear out the floor and replace it with new material. Yet newer innovations in products and systems offer the opportunity to renew the floor with the same durability and beauty of the old floor with much lower cost and downtime.
When a facility's durable floor needs updating, Bona's resilient floor solution saves time and money
When medical facility managers need to replace worn-down floors in healthcare facilities, it can be a real emergency in terms of downtime and can even affect health care. Bona's durable Commercial System™ Resilient Flooring Solution is the ideal way to save time, money and perhaps even lives.
The resilient flooring update challenge at Kadlec Regional Medical Center
The Kadlec Regional Medical Center's medication room faced challenges with sheet vinyl floors receiving extensive wear and tear from heavy foot traffic, equipment transportation, and harsh disinfectants. Instead of hiring an outside contractor to replace the floor, they turned to Bona for a quick and cost-effective update. With minimal downtime and significant cost savings, the 150 square foot medication room's resilient flooring was transformed with beautiful results, creating a highly durable floor in only 5 hours.
Resilient flooring renewal vs. replacement offers durable floor solutions in a variety of industries
Healthcare
Healthcare facility flooring must be tough enough to sustain heavy foot traffic, movement of large machinery or gurneys, rigorous sterilisation routines, and also be slip-resistant. Resilient flooring is an ideal durable solution.
Education
Hallways, entryways and gym floors are among the high-traffic areas managed by educational facilities teams. Safe, durable floors should also be welcoming to students, staff, parents and guests. Resilient flooring is an excellent choice to meet these needs.
Government
Government facilities require clean, slip-resistant, durable floors to accommodate the numerous employees, visitors and dignitaries regularly passing through. Resilient flooring is the perfect option for heavily-used areas that can stand up to year-round heavy foot traffic.
Retail
A safe, aesthetically pleasing retail floor with an inviting design and colour theme offers a welcoming customer experience. It's always been a challenge to maintain pristine floors that can withstand heavy foot traffic, rolling merchandise racks and moving heavy furniture around to create new retail displays. A resilient renewal system is an ideal option.
Resilient flooring maintenance tips
For the most durable floors, and to keep renewed resilient flooring healthy for years to come, follow these guidelines:
- Develop a maintenance plan and follow it consistently.
- Train maintenance teams to properly care for the flooring surfaces.
- Clean high traffic areas frequently. High traffic areas should be cleaned daily while lower traffic areas can typically be cleaned weekly all depending on the facility needs, weather, foot traffic, etc.
- Map a "cleaning route" that keeps maintenance teams moving forward and avoids backtracking. This process increases efficiency and can save on resources and cleaning supplies.
- A proper cleaning routine should include a combination of vacuuming, dry mopping and using PH neutral cleaners to remove dirt. Harsh cleaners are harmful to the indoor air quality, environment, and flooring surface.
- Microfiber mops are much more effective and efficient at removing dirt, soil and stains than traditional mops. To avoid spreading debris particles, don't shake the mop while cleaning.
- Utilize floor mats in high traffic areas to capture dirt. Clean or swap out the mats frequently so captured dirt won't be tracked onto the flooring surface.
- Utilize furniture pads to prevent scratches and avoid sliding heavy pieces along the floor. Instead, lift the pieces to move them.
- Work only with maintenance teams who are properly trained for the particular flooring surface upkeep.
