SPHERA - DESIGNED FOR HEALTHCARE
Flooring Designed for the Demands of Modern Healthcare
Sphera’s distinctive homogeneous vinyl designs are particularly well suited for healthcare facilities. The balanced use of colour, texture, and visual depth contributes to calm, welcoming spaces that support the well-being of patients, visitors, and staff. Combined with excellent hygiene performance and long-lasting durability, Sphera helps create healthcare environments that are both functional and comforting.
Flooring Solutions Applications Across the Hospital
Considerations for hospital flooring:
• Infection control: Seamless, easy-to-clean surfaces that reduce bacterial growth and support coving at wall junctions.
• Safety & slip resistance: Essential for corridors, wet rooms, and patient care areas.
• Comfort & acoustics: Quiet, resilient flooring to reduce stress for patients and staff.
• Compliance: Flooring tested against standards for fire, slip, and hygiene.
• Sustainability: Hospitals increasingly seek products with low VOC emissions and third-party certifications.
Sphera Elite b+ is made with bio-attributed PVC according to the mass balance principle, where the fossil oil is replaced with recycled bio-circular cooking oil. The molecular structure is identical to fossil oil, which means that the quality is exactly the same.
The low climate footprint is further strengthened by our facility operating on 100% renewable electricity with a zero-waste production process. Any waste generated from the manufacturing process of Sphera is recycled back into our vinyl floor coverings.
