The first impression visitors experience upon entering a healthcare facility should be a positive one.
Upgrade old, dilapidated flooring which has faded due to high foot traffic and wear and tear with Bona's Resilient Solution. This will provide a good impression of the facility and the people who work there.
Create a safe, durable surface which meets slip and fall standards. The downtime required to maintain immaculate flooring in operating rooms, general areas, waiting rooms, rehab areas, patient rooms and cafeteria surfaces has been daunting…until now.
Case Study: Hospital floor renewal
The sheet vinyl floors in Kadlec Regional Medical Center’s medication room receive extensive wear and tear from heavy foot traffic, transportation of medical equipment in and out of the room, and harsh chemical cleaning disinfectants. When it came time to replace the floors, the original plan to hire an outside contractor to tear out and replace the floor meant that the medication room would be inaccessible for 3 days along with a cost of more than $7,000.
Three benefits of resilient floor renewal
Resilient flooring is a best practice employed by healthcare facilities because it is efficient to install, easy to clean and safe for those who utilize it.
1 - Healthier floors
Frequent cleaning will achieve shiny floors that smell fresh. However, that doesn’t mean the floors are clear of bacteria, which thrives in flooring with seams, grooves, creases and fabric.
Seamless surface
Creates a monolithic (aka free of seams, creases, etc.) flooring surface, which will eliminate areas for bacteria to grow.
Anti-slip additive
Provides a safe surface for employees to work and guests to walk. Finishing options include an anti-slip additive for increased durability and protection against slips and falls.
Non-toxic solutions
This solution uses water-based chemistries, leading to healthier indoor air quality for all inhabitants (and no need for extended downtime to mitigate).
2 - Cost Savings
Once polishing will no longer remove scuffs, stains and other signs of wear and tear, the tendency is to tear it out and purchase new flooring. Replacing the flooring is a costly option and there are much better options available today.
Less downtime
Less downtime. No need to relocate patients, staff or materials for long periods of time, as the renewal is often complete in a few hours or a few days, depending on square footage.
Never strip again
Eliminates the recurring cost of polishing the floor. Thanks to the durable coating of the Bona Resilient Solution, you’ll never need to polish again.
Less material cost
Receive a brand-new flooring surface (with numerous design and color options) without the labor and material cost of ripping out existing flooring and purchasing new.
3 - A More Sustainable Future
Renewal is being adopted by healthcare facilities that prefer eco-friendly solutions. Even with some recycling efforts, replacing flooring means landfills receive the majority of non-biodegradable flooring material.
Reduced carbon footprint
Floor renovation saves up to 90% in reduced carbon footprint vs installing a new floor, while the energy savings are as high as 95%. The assessments include all products used, electricity, consumables, waste treatment and transport.
Lessen environmental impact
Healthcare facility leaders are increasingly cognizant of their organization’s carbon footprint and seek ways to decrease their environmental impact.
Improved air quality
Safe, non-toxic materials offer better indoor air quality – a concept that is especially important in areas that serve populations with compromised immune systems, weakened respiratory systems and other health concerns.
