Hygienic Cove Base Option
Can be installed with a seamless cove base that rises onto the wall, eliminating bacteria-prone corners and making cleaning easier.
Easy Maintenance & Durability
Resistant to heavy equipment, carts and intensive daily cleaning — maintains a clean and professional appearance for years.
Stages of Installing a Polymer Floor for Medical Facilities
01
PREPARATION OF THE BASE
First, the surface of the substrate is milled and sanded using industrial vacuum cleaners. after that, the substrate is further cleaned with powerful industrial vacuum cleaners.
02
APPLICATION OF THE SOIL LAYER
The primer layer should be applied on a dry and clean surface with a moisture content of no more than 4%. It improves the adhesion of the substrate and subsequent polymer coating layers, strengthens the base, increases the service life of the floor, and reduces the risk of peeling.
03
LAYING THE BASE LAYER + FILLING
The polymer coating on the floor is applied exclusively
on the polymerized primer/adhesive layer.
The two-component polymer mixture with the addition of filler is applied with a trowel or roller. This layer of the system evens out defects in the base and closes the pores in the concrete.
04
TOPCOAT
Depending on the chosen system, we apply the topcoat using a squeegee (in some cases, a roller).
This layer is the main layer, it carries the main properties of the selected coating. In addition, the topcoat also plays a decorative role.
Areas of Application for Polymer Floors in Healthcare
- Hospitals and private clinics
- Operating rooms, ICUs and sterile units
- Laboratories and cleanroom environments
- Polyclinics, outpatient facilities and treatment rooms
- Dental and diagnostic centres
- Pharmaceutical production areas and medical storage rooms
- Corridors and high-traffic zones
Self-levelling polymer floors for medical facilities: a modern solution for hygiene and safety
Self-levelling polymer floors are one of the most reliable and hygienic flooring options for medical facilities. On this page, we offer professional turnkey installation of a floor system that fully meets modern requirements for cleanliness, safety and durability. This type of flooring is suitable for hospitals, laboratories, clinics, operating rooms, sterile areas and pharmaceutical premises, where the quality of the floor directly affects patient safety and the stability of medical processes.
Why polymer self-levelling floors are the best choice for healthcare
There is no room for compromise in healthcare. Every day the floor is exposed to high foot traffic, contact with disinfectants, movement of equipment and constant sterility requirements. That is why polymer floors have become the standard for modern medical centres.
The key advantage of this flooring is its completely seamless surface, which prevents the accumulation of bacteria and contaminants. This reduces the risk of infections, improves overall safety and significantly simplifies cleaning. In addition, polymer systems have high chemical resistance, do not absorb liquids and do not degrade under the influence of aggressive medical chemicals, making them ideal for daily disinfection.
Main advantages of polymer floors in medical facilities
-
Hygiene and sterility
The continuous surface without joints or seams eliminates areas where microbes, biological fluids and dust can accumulate. The floor is easy to clean and withstands intensive disinfection.
-
Chemical resistance
Polymer systems are suitable for operating rooms, laboratories and cleanroom areas where chlorine-based solutions, antiseptics, peroxides and other aggressive chemicals are used.
-
Safety for patients and staff
The floor has anti-slip properties, does not emit strong odours during installation and complies with low VOC requirements.
-
Compliance with pharmaceutical standards
Polymer coatings can be designed to meet HACCP, GMP and cleanroom standards, which is essential for pharmaceutical production, laboratories and sterile units.
-
Durability and easy maintenance
The coating withstands high loads, movement of medical equipment and intensive cleaning, while maintaining a neat appearance for many years.
VM-HIM company: turnkey installation of polymer floors
VM-HIM provides a full range of services — from on-site inspection to completion and handover of the finished floor. This approach guarantees quality, durability and compliance with all medical regulations.
1. Inspection and consultation
Our specialists assess the condition of the substrate, operating conditions and sterility requirements. Based on this, the optimal polymer flooring system is selected for your specific facility.
2. Surface preparation
Grinding or milling is performed, the substrate is strengthened, defects are removed and a primer is applied. Proper preparation is the key to strong adhesion and a long service life.
3. Application of the polymer system
The coating is installed by trained professionals in strict accordance with the technology. A monolithic surface without joints or seams is formed, which is critical for medical and sterile zones.
4. Installation of a hygienic cove base
If required, a continuous floor with a smooth transition onto the wall is created. This hygienic cove base eliminates dust and dirt accumulation in corners and simplifies cleaning.
5. Final works and quality control
After the floor has cured, we check flatness, strength, chemical resistance and compliance with the specified requirements. The facility is handed over to the client fully ready for use.
6. Warranty and maintenance recommendations
The client receives a warranty for materials and workmanship as well as detailed recommendations on proper floor maintenance to preserve its performance for many years.
Why you should not install polymer floors on your own
Self-levelling polymer floors are a complex technological system that requires experience, professional equipment and adherence to strict regulations. DIY installation or hiring non-specialised contractors may lead to serious issues:
- peeling and cracking after only a few months of operation;
- uneven surfaces and cleaning difficulties;
- loss of sterility due to microcracks and pores in the coating;
- loss of chemical resistance and degradation under disinfectants;
- the need to completely redo the floor and incur additional costs.
For medical facilities, any mistake can have serious consequences — both financial and reputational. That is why the installation of polymer floors should be entrusted to a specialised company like VM-HIM, which takes responsibility for the result and ensures stable performance of the flooring throughout its service life.
Are polymer self-levelling floors suitable for operating rooms and sterile areas?
How resistant are they to medical chemicals?
Do these floors have an odour during installation?
Are they suitable for high-traffic medical areas?
Can a seamless cove base be installed?
Absolutely. A hygienic cove base creates a continuous surface from floor to wall, preventing dirt accumulation and enhancing sterility.
