Why Epoxy Flooring Is Ideal for Physical Therapy Clinics
Sanitary and Hygienic
Epoxy flooring offers a seamless surface that resists dirt, bacteria, and moisture, making it highly sanitary and essential for preventing cross-contamination. This is especially important in physical therapy clinics where patient safety and infection control are top priorities.
Slip-Resistant for Safety
The flooring features polyurethane topcoats combined with traction additives, providing excellent slip resistance. This helps minimize the risk of falls and injuries, creating a safer environment for patients and staff who are frequently moving or assisting others.
Durable and Resilient
Designed to withstand heavy foot traffic, carts, and equipment, epoxy flooring maintains its structural integrity even under constant use. Its durability reduces the likelihood of damage that could harbor bacteria or cause safety hazards.
Easy to Clean and Maintain
Epoxy floors are simple to clean, helping clinics maintain a hygienic, professional appearance. Their smooth surface supports effective disinfection protocols and reduces the effort needed to keep the space sanitary.
Long-Lasting and Cost-Effective
Able to endure daily cleaning and the movement of physical therapy equipment without degrading, epoxy flooring offers a long lifespan. This durability makes it a cost-effective choice, providing consistent performance and cleanliness over time without sacrificing aesthetics.
Pre-Installation Conditions and Initial Challenges
Concrete Assessment and Surface Issues
Sanitary Issues
Given the medical environment, the floor required stringent sanitation standards. Any microbial contamination or biofilm buildup had to be fully removed to maintain a sterile surface post-installation.
Surface Wear and Uneven Texture
The concrete surface exhibited rough patches and irregularities that needed to be leveled before installation.
Open Expansion Joints and Hairline Cracks
Several expansion joints were open and hairline cracks were present, both of which required repair to avoid future damage.
Minor Stains and Discoloration
Stains and discoloration suggested the presence of contaminants, making thorough cleaning essential.
Lack of Any Prior Protective Coating
The absence of a protective coating meant the porous concrete needed priming to enhance durability after installation.
