Performance
Hospitals and clinics offer special challenges for floor and wall coverings. They must Durability
be able to withstand constant foot and trolley traffic, remain hygienic and stay
looking good to create a comfortable environment for staff, patients and visitors. Tarkett flooring’s combination of
high quality raw materials and
advanced surface treatments
ensures the highest levels of
durability. Thanks to heavy-duty
wear layers, it also has excellent
surface resistance properties. This
guarantees that your floor will
retain its good looks throughout an
extended service life, backed by our
extensive warranties for your peace
of mind.
Functionality
Our huge range ensures we can
provide a choice of flooring options
for almost every application. From
the extreme durability of our iQ
vinyl ranges for entrances and
public areas to the flexibility,
abrasion and chemical resistance of
our ProtectWALL and iQ ranges for
areas where hygiene is paramount.
Maintenance
In the continuing effort to cut costs
without impacting on patient care,
hospitals are faced with a delicate
balancing act on the best ways to
invest and manage available funds.
Maintenance is one area that can
offer enormous potential savings.
In particular, the choice of the right
durable and easy to clean flooring
offers significant savings in terms of
energy, labour and the quantities of
water and cleaning agents required
over the life cycle.

Lifetime cost effectiveness
Life Cycle Cost analysis shows that
it costs 10 times more to clean and
maintain the flooring in a public
place (assuming it lasts 20 years),
than the original purchase
and installation.
Over two years, this means
that cleaning and maintenance
cost as much as the flooring.
Flooring treated with wax, polish
or other surface treatments is
labour intensive to maintain and
ultimately less cost effective over
its lifetime than more expensive
alternatives. Stripping and
polishing also have a negative
environmental impact due to higher
water and chemical consumption.
Design Advice
A well-designed entrance is the single most effective method for
reducing cleaning and maintenance costs, extending the life of the
flooring and ensuring that it looks good for longer. The objective must
be to ensure that minimum levels of dirt and moisture are carried into
the building:
Zone 1: Outside the building to Zone 3: Inside the reception
get rid of most of the dirt area, textile mats to
on rough cleaning mats. absorb any remaining
moisture from footwear.
Zone 2: At the entrance
to dry shoes with
absorbing mats.
Facts: 80% of dirt indoors comes
from outside. In a building
where there are 1,000 entries
and exits every day, after three 1 2 3
weeks between 50 and 100 kg of
sand, gravel and other dirt will
have been tracked in.
Well-designed entry zones can
reduce this volume by 90%.

Design
While individual design elements may have an impact on healing, on a wider
level the complete environment can help to influence the behaviour, actions
and interaction of patients, their families and staff. A well-designed interior
can help to stimulate social interactions by encouraging visits from family and
friends, and so become an important factor in patient recovery. As a result,
hospital design is moving closer and closer to ‘hotel’ styling without abandoning
technical and expert medical functions.

38Cleaning Recommendations
Routine cleaning is necessary to ensure a hospital environment which is visibly clean, and free from dust and dirt. Ninety
per cent of micro-organisms are present in ‘visible dirt‘, and the purpose of routine cleaning is to eliminate this dirt.
The keys to maintaining good hygiene are surfaces that are easy to clean, the right cleaning protocols and well-trained
cleaning staff. Policies should exist for the frequency of cleaning and cleaning agents used for all surfaces. Cleaning
methods must be appropriate for the likelihood of contamination and the necessary level of asepsis.
