FAQ

Can heterogeneous vinyl be used in wards?

For low-traffic wards yes; for high-traffic corridors homogeneous lasts significantly longer.

Are antibacterial floors proven?

PUR antibacterial surfaces are tested to ISO 22196 against bacteria such as E. coli and S. aureus.

What about operating theatres?

Use ESD conductive homogeneous with welded seams and earthing.
