When looking for a new
floor for these types of areas, the following points may need to
be taken into consideration.
Floorcoverings
will need to be hard wearing, in many cases, waterproof and stain
resistant and be able to withstand heavy foot and wheeled traffic.
Hygiene, health and safety must be considered in all areas
particularly areas such as surgeries, wards and areas such as
operating theatres which have to meet their own stringent
requirements.
There are also
many design options which can make what is a foreboding place
appear more welcoming!
