Emergency flooring

Vinyl sheet flooring for healthcare facilities is available in 15 natural colors designed to resist indentation, rolling, and static loads. A protective urethane finish helps the floor increase scuff resistance. Heat welding allows for clean, aseptic seams in the floor, improving infection control and sanitation, making it suitable for diagnostic and treatment areas, including surgical suites, emergency rooms, intensive care units, and treatment rooms. Medinpoint flooring is a part of the MEDS flooring program for healthcare sites.

Tough rubber

The Lenape Meadows School in Mahwah, N.J., selected 65,000 square feet of rubber flooring products for its two-story, state-of-the-art facility. Chosen because it could be installed without seams, requires no waxing, and provides protection against scuffs in high-traffic settings, the rubber flooring also helps prevent the formation of travel paths and is dirt-repellent. The Noraplan stone flooring runs throughout the building's corridors, main lobby, 36,800 square feet of classrooms, 5,000-sq.-ft. cafeteria, and media center. Available in 120 colors, the product is matched by slip resistance that complies with ADA guidelines.
