Scope of application
Healthcare
The people who use, maintain, build and plan health and care facilities are who we consider when we create our healthcare floors.
Staff/patients/visitors gain confidence in their environment
Stain-free, VISIBLY hygienic floors with superior infection resistance; acoustic properties which reduce sound resonance; 35% less force required to push hospital beds and equipment; the use of a welcoming, therapeutic and uplifting palette of flooring designs and colours: we can create spaces conducive to recovery and efficiency.
Specifiers can comply, but also create
Gerflor healthcare flooring products either meet or exceed the highest standards of safety, cleanability, durability and sustainability while offering the choice of the most extensive range of integrated solutions in flooring for clinical environments (in numerous colours & designs).
Operators/Contractors/Estates’ Personnel get best value
We know our products can add significant value to any contract project; we can prove it. Talk to our Healthcare Flooring Team about the results of the independent Whole Life Cost analyses we commissioned and the positive impact our treated products have on maintenance levels and infection control.

Hospital
Our commitment to product innovation is paramount to our success in hospitals worldwide. The demands of the clinical environment in terms of infection control, hygiene, maintenance and performance have pushed us to create a comprehensive range of solutions for key areas in the hospital environment.
How have we innovated for hospitals?
- Our patented surface treatments, Evercare and Protecsol 2, offer unrivalled stain resistance to chemicals (e.g., iodine and betadine) and scratching, and render our floors 100% antimicrobial. They afford a 30% reduction on maintenance costs and an 80% reduction in water and detergent use
- For our Ultra Clean offering, we have created floors and wall coverings which not only meet, but exceed, the standards of cleanliness and disinfection, particle and molecular retention and chemical and electrostatic resistance required for the highest risk areas (e.g., operating theatres for organ transplantation)
- We have developed floors offering superior resistance to static and dynamic loads from beds, wheelchairs and trollies that reduce starting force and pushing by 35%
- We provide floors that have been successfully tested to resist the 24/7 running of AVG systems

Care Homes
Our responsibility to our increasing elderly population and to vulnerable patients is to provide the safest and most comfortable home-from-home environments.

- An integrated healthcare package which includes bactericidal handrails for increased support, and wall and door protection for hygiene, durability and delineation or contrasting of areas for ease of navigation
- Wood and stone-effect safety flooring and natural, calming tones and subtle patterns from our design range to give a reassuring, domestic feel
- Low-maintenance floors requiring no polish to reduce glare and provide a less stimulating, matt finish
- Acoustic flooring to provide comfort underfoot and decrease noise resonance
- Our Clean Corner System which can be used in all areas, including wet rooms, to give a highly durable and hygienic finish
- Sustainable floors with the best stain and scratch resistance for the lowest maintenance requirements and Life Cycle Costs.
