Why flooring matters in wellness & spa spaces
Wellness centres and spas thrive on creating calm, restorative environments. Flooring plays a vital role: it must support relaxation, be safe in wet zones, withstand high moisture levels, and remain hygienic.
Guests walk barefoot, making comfort, warmth, and slip resistance essential. At the same time, operators need durable, easy-to-clean flooring that meets Australian safety and hygiene standards.
Considerations for wellness & spa flooring
- Slip resistance – Essential in wet zones such as pools, saunas, steam rooms, and bathrooms. Must comply with Australian Standard AS 4586. Want to learn about what slip ratings are recommended for each area? Read our best performing blog, Australian standards for slip resistance
- Moisture resistance – Floors must perform in humid environments without warping, lifting, or harbouring bacteria..
- Design & ambience – Natural tones and textures promote a feeling of calm and wellbeing.
