Floorcare focus: healthcare
Traffik UK Ltd have some sustainable flooring solutions for the healthcare sector.
Every doctor and dentist is aware that paying a visit to their surgeries may be a daunting experience and that the overall appearance and safety of their premises is a major factor in settling their patient’s initial nervousness.
Apart from a soothing colour scheme, the appearance, cleanliness and safety of flooring in these types of premises is crucial and more and more healthcare centres are taking steps to ensure that, not only do their floors look good, but that they are protected by anti-slip and anti- staining treatments and, that in areas where sensitive medical and computer equipment is being used, the floors are anti-static compliant.
Replacing flooring can be an expensive and time consuming exercise resulting in the closure of premises, problems of noise and dirt accumulation and the environmental issues of disposal of old flooring. Added to this are the logistical problems of moving sensitive equipment such as fixed dentist’s chairs, beds and free standing monitors etc - complete replacement of flooring is therefore often the last resort and the solution is to Refresh, Recolour and Refurbish.
Launched in early 2012, Traffik UK Ltd can now provide a range of innovative new and sustainable solutions that will help to both, maintain, upgrade and revitalise problem flooring at a fraction of the price associated with complete renewal.
MD, Julian Stoneman, adds: “For environmentally sensitive working spaces we can provide solutions that ensure worn-out existing flooring is refreshed and receives long- term protection and that the new surfaces provided are stain and chemical resistant, as well as being provided with anti static and anti
slip properties. All floor surfaces are closed - especially important when taking into consideration future cleaning and hygiene concerns and all flooring is provided with unlimited design freedom!
“Our principle aim, particularly in
relation to the healthcare sector, is to take floor services to a new level, presenting a range of solutions that revitalises and reinvigorates their flooring options without the need for expensive replacement and, once installed, to help maintain and prolong the flooring’s life.”
Traffik’s service enables the company to offer tailored floor refurbishment and maintenance programmes including:
• Replacing old and worn floors - with brand new long lasting surfaces in an unlimited range of colours, designs and finishes.
• Bespoke floor design - Using a revolutionary PU Design system, Traffik can work on top of most resilient surfaces such as PVC, linoleum, rubber, smooth concrete, ceramic and quarry tiles, resin and wood, to create amazing results - all without the need to lift and replace old floors.
