Princess Royal Hospital – Haywards Heath Sep 2021
Forbo Surestep Stone – Warm Contrete
The contemporary and practical looking Forbo Surestep safety vinyl fit the criteria well in this private ward within Princess Royal Hospital.
To transform this old ward office into a isolation ward room we had to remove the old carpet tiles, and apply a full coat of latex to lexel the floor, as is the case in most hospital environments we had to install a coved finish up the walls finished in safety flooring vinyl.
When removing the old boards it become apparent that we would need to build the floor up considerably, to bring the new finished floor up level with the existing skirtings.
Whenever we replace flooring within a hospital environment the two key factors always apply, it needs to be safe and hygienic. using the coved fitting process we can allow the flooring to be rigorously cleaned, which drastically reduces harbouring bacteria.
One critical area of installing a safety floor is the wellded joints, fitted correctly the welds should last as long as the safety floor itself, when fitting a floor up the walls a welded finish has to be used.
