Across the Northwest and Pacific states, healthcare facilities and hospitals are making a significant shift from traditional rubber sheet flooring to advanced custom multi-layered resinous flooring systems. Why the change? 🤔 Issues with Rubber Sheet Flooring: - Chemical Sensitivity: Rubber sheet flooring can deteriorate when exposed to harsh chemicals, compromising its longevity and safety. - Slip Hazards: While rubber sheet flooring provides some traction, it can still be slippery when wet, posing risks in high-traffic healthcare environments. - Difficult to Repair: When repairs are needed, new pieces must be cut in, often resulting in mismatched colors and a patchwork appearance that detracts from the facility’s aesthetics. - Long-Term Durability and Waterproofing: Every time a new section is cut in for repair, it creates additional potential weak points and voids where moisture can seep in. This can lead to moisture being trapped underneath the flooring, which may cause a variety of issues, including the growth of mold, flooring failure, and other hazards in a sensitive healthcare environment. Why Choose Resinous Flooring? - Chemical Resistance: Our resinous systems are designed to withstand the harshest cleaning agents and chemicals, ensuring durability and long-term performance. - Superior Slip Resistance: Engineered for enhanced grip, our coatings reduce slip hazards, promoting a safer environment for patients and staff. - Monolithic and Seamless: With no joints or seams, resinous flooring eliminates areas where bacteria, moisture, and debris can accumulate, ensuring a smooth, continuous surface that’s both functional and aesthetically pleasing. - Simple Repairs: If repairs are ever needed, resinous flooring can be easily restored without the risk of mismatched colors, potential voids, or moisture-related issues. Healthcare facilities are embracing this modern flooring solution for its durability, safety, and ease of maintenance. Elevate your facility's flooring to meet today's demanding standards. #HealthcareFlooring #ResinousFlooring #FlooringSolutions #Hospitalflooring Dur-A-Flex, Inc.

Floor scrubbers offer several benefits to businesses, especially those with large floor spaces or high cleanliness standards. Here are five key advantages: 1. Efficiency and Time Savings: Floor scrubbers automate the cleaning process, allowing for faster and more efficient cleaning compared to manual methods. They cover large areas quickly and thoroughly, reducing the time and labor required to maintain cleanliness. This efficiency translates into cost savings by optimizing employee productivity and minimizing cleaning downtime. 2. Improved Cleaning Quality: Floor scrubbers provide consistent and thorough cleaning results, removing dirt, grime, and stains more effectively than traditional methods. The mechanized scrubbing action, combined with the use of cleaning solutions and adjustable pressure settings, ensures a deeper clean and a more hygienic environment. This helps businesses maintain a professional appearance and uphold high cleanliness standards. 3. Enhanced Safety and Hygiene: By effectively removing contaminants from floors, floor scrubbers contribute to a safer and healthier working environment. They help prevent slips, trips and falls by eliminating slippery residues and reducing the risk of accidents. Additionally, thorough cleaning with disinfectant solutions helps control the spread of germs and bacteria, promoting better hygiene and reducing the risk of illness among employees and customers. 4. Extended Floor Lifespan: Regular cleaning with floor scrubbers helps preserve the condition of flooring materials such as tile, concrete, and epoxy by preventing the buildup of dirt, grime, and abrasive particles. By maintaining clean and well-maintained floors, businesses can prolong the lifespan of their flooring investments, avoiding the need for premature replacements or repairs. This leads to long-term cost savings!! 5. Environmental Sustainability: Many modern floor scrubbers are designed with eco-friendly features such as efficient water usage, chemical dilution systems, and battery-powered operation. By using less water and cleaning agents, floor scrubbers minimize environmental impact while still delivering effective cleaning results. Additionally, the reduced need for disposable cleaning supplies and lower energy consumption contribute to overall sustainability efforts, aligning with businesses' environmental goals and responsibilities. Overall, investing in floor scrubbers offers businesses benefits in terms of efficiency, cleanliness, safety, cost savings, and environmental sustainability, making them valuable assets! #floorscrubbers #yeahthatgreenville #janitoralequipment

What are industrial floor coatings, and how can they help your business? 🤔 Industrial floor coatings are applied to commercial and industrial floors. These durable epoxy resin-based coatings offer businesses a robust floor surface resistant to wear and tear. This type of floor coating is ideal for a variety of industries and purposes, including boiler rooms, plant rooms, car parks, showrooms, ramps, loading bays and much more. They can also be customised with colours and finishes to suit your business or needs. Here’s how industrial floor coatings can help your business: ➡️ Durability matters When working in an industrial setting, your floor regularly comes into contact with heavy loads and constant foot and machinery traffic, which can lead to wear and tear or damage. Thankfully, the durability of epoxy industrial floor coatings means you can save time and money by not needing frequent floor repairs or replacements. Epoxy floor coatings are also resistant to chemicals, oils, and other hazardous substances. ➡️ Safety first Slips and falls are commonplace in industrial industries due to high foot traffic and heavy machinery traffic. However, epoxy industrial floor coatings offer a non-slip surface, enhancing workplace safety. You can also get epoxy floor coating with bespoke anti-slip additives to suit your requirements. This not only improves safety in the workplace but might also lower insurance costs and liability risks. ➡️ Hygienic purposes Epoxy industrial floor coatings are also ideal for businesses that prioritise hygiene, such as healthcare or food processing companies. Industrial floor coatings prevent the growth of bacteria and mould, thanks to the coating’s lack of joints or cracks (so bacteria and mould can’t hide here). In addition, industrial floor coatings are easy to clean and resistant to harsh cleaning agents. Want to keep your employees and business protected? You need to invest in epoxy industrial floor coating now. P.S. We can help with that; get in touch with us using the contact details below. ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ Elevate your commercial, industrial or luxury residential environment with premium decorating. 📞 07479 538 588 📧 [email protected] Or send me a DM! #Industrial #IndustrialDesign #PaintingAndDecorating #Paint

Victorian floor tiler [email protected] Wall and floor tiling contractor Victorian floor tiling expert / teacher Former professional rugby player BSc (hons) Sport Health Exercise and Nutrition
Health v Environment? Recently a well known tile supplier changed the way their porcelain floor tiles were boxed from 3 tiles to 5 tiles presumably to reduce the amount of packaging for environmental reasons (?) Answers on a recycled postcard. A 600×600 mm porcelain tile weighs about 7.5 KG. So a standard 3 tile box would be 22.5 kg. A decent amount already. Now at 5 tiles per box this stands at 37.5 kg per box. Yes splitting the boxes is an option although this can result in damage to the tiles when stacking them unboxed. Yes you can “2 man carry” but the reality of this in a warehouse or housebuilding site is that speed and efficiency of workforce is key. So please, tile manufacturers, go back to 3 tiles per box and save our backs!

I've been saying this for a while, but I feel like it's going to click with markets and regulators (at least in the EU) soon. LVP is the most popular flooring material and it's going to get banned. PEX is the most popular plumbing material and it's going to get banned. PVC, and plastics in general, are well known for off gassing large amounts of volatile organic compounds when new. PVC off gasses vinyl chloride, which can cause dizziness, irritate skin membranes, and is linked to cancer. Long term exposure can damage the liver, nervous system, and skin, as well as cause cancer. While a lot has been said about PVC's immediate off gassing, what is talked about less is that PVC never stops. It's small amounts, but if you live in a house with PVC floors and PVC pipes, it means that there's always a little bit of vinyl chloride in your air and water. My home was build in the '70s with brass pipes and wood floors, and even though it was a pain in the ass, I had my plumber continue with the brass pipes when I remodeled the bathroom. Of course, I also had two layers of asbestos linoleum and black mastic under the bathroom tile, so it's not like everything was wonderful back then either. Between the emerging health concerns of LVP and PEX from off gassing, and the silicosis crisis from quartz countertops, builders and suppliers are going to have some big shifts to navigate in the near future.
