Each area of a hospital requires specific flooring solutions, and where wards require acoustic flooring, specialist areas such as operating theatres, intensive care units and imaging diagnostic facilities, present their own unique challenges. Not only must it comply with stringent hygiene regulations to help prevent hospital acquired infections, it must also demonstrate that it meets any necessary safety requirements. And most importantly, it must prevent any electrostatic discharges as these can cause malfunctions, or even failures, in highly sensitive medical equipment and devices.
For areas that require a more specialised type of flooring, such as electro-static discharge (ESD) protection or increased slip resistance, Forbo have a range of products that meet the very highest standards.
