Relocation and renovation of a hospital located in a cold, snowy region. The following requirements needed to be met for the selected flooring material:
• Non-slip (slip resistance)
• Durability and dryness to withstand snow
• Infection control
• Fall protection (cushioning)
• Easy maintenance
• Designer's intention (A sophisticated design that does not give the
impression of a heavy hospital)
The entrance features three snow removal rooms that prevent snow and dirt from entering, with entrance mats laid out in stages. From the first-floor outpatient lobby to the curved corridors on each floor, the precise dimensional stability of Flotex ensured the flooring was installed exactly as envisioned. It also functions seamlessly in high-traffic areas, maintaining its design integrity while ensuring thorough maintenance.
