Hospital Waiting Area Flooring

A relaxed, welcoming atmosphere

Examples of Forbo flooring installed in a hospital waiting area

Durable and welcoming waiting room flooring

Hospital waiting area flooring should contribute to a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, but it must also be able to withstand high footfall, the movement of chairs and people eating and drinking in these areas. With our wide product range, we can create waiting areas to meet your design and durability requirements.


In waiting areas, a floor covering needs to have:
• Good slip resistance to avoid slips and trips
• Durability to cope with the hundreds of patients, staff and visitors
• Excellent acoustic properties to reduce and contain the noise where possible
• Flooring that cleans up as good as new and is hygienic
