Healthcare - Wards & Bedrooms

Durability, indentation resistance and ease of cleaning

Durability, indentation resistance and ease of cleaning are important factors when installing a floor in wards and bedrooms in the hospital environment. Forbo understands the needs and concerns of the healthcare marketplace. With our wide range of products we are ready to help you.

Our Marmoleum collection is ideal for wards and bedrooms where durability and hygiene is required. Marmoleum is naturally bacteriostatic and independently proven to inhibit the growth and spread of infections such as MRSA, Norovirus, Acinetobacter baumannii and C Difficile helping to contribute to a healthier and more hygienic environment in the wards and bedrooms of a hospital.

Our Sphera collection is also great flooring choice for these type of areas as not only is it extremely durable but it also has a SMART-top surface finish ensuring a high resistance to chemicals, scratches and stains. It's also 100% phthalate free and has very low emissions helping to ensure high indoor air quality.

In these areas, a floor covering needs to have:
• Good slip resistance to avoid slips and trips
• The ability to cope with wheeled traffic such as wheelchairs, beds and equipment
• Excellent acoustic properties to reduce and contain the noise where possible
