Epoxy for Hospitals
Many new hospitals in Wilmington DE are choosing an Epoxy flooring system, for very obvious reasons. When it comes to durability, easy maintenance, aesthetics, and longevity, Epoxy floors are unmatched. According to the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey, in 2011, 125.7 Million patients visited the hospital. That, combined with nurses, physicians, surgeons, etc. makes for a lot of foot traffic in this country’s hospitals. That being said, it is easy to see why having durable floors is important. Even more importantly, Epoxy floors can have a non-slip coating added in order to prevent slips and falls. One can imagine how useful that can become in a busy, fast-paced, hospital environment. More reasons why Epoxy is important to the functionality of hospitals below.
Maintenance. Epoxy is hands-down the easiest of all flooring to clean and sanitize. It is quite obvious as to why this is important for hospitals. Between the harsh chemicals that are prone to spilling, the rigorous sanitation procedures, and intense foot-traffic. It is very important to have a flooring that can withstand all of these. Luckily, epoxy will resist any kind of chemical corrosion. As far as cleaning and sanitation goes, Epoxy is the easiest to clean with simply a sweep or a Swiffer. Hospital sanitation procedures are easy and efficient on Epoxy floors as well, ensuring that employees and patients will be able to maintain their optimal health.
No Slips, No Seams. Slipping and falling is one of the most common workplace injuries. Slippery floors are hazardous to the wellbeing of employees, patients, and family members within a hospital. This is one of the top reasons that hospitals are choosing Epoxy over any other flooring systems, because Epoxy can be coated with a slip resistant coat to ensure slips and falls are minimized in the hospital environment where employees are moving very quickly while reading charts, testing vitals, pushing beds or chairs, among many other multi-tasks. In addition to this, employees within the hospitals are working hard to keep patients healthy. Without
Epoxy, the flooring could be working against them. Epoxy is the only completely seamless flooring option on the market. Having a seamless, non-porous, flooring system is vital in order to ensure bacteria, bio-hazards, and dangerous chemicals are not lost in the flooring where they can manifest, grow, and work against the hard work of the doctors and nurses.
Lastly, Epoxy’s brute strength is important to any medical facility. Heavy equipment, moving beds, and high foot traffic all produce wear and tear on flooring systems, except Epoxy. Epoxy is the only flooring that can withstand the test of time under such harsh conditions. This is why hospitals are choosing Epoxy to cover their floors, and frankly, you should too.

Really Pleased! Our garage needed some major help – not only was it a mess but the floor was just ugly with all the stains and such. I will agree with the reviewer below – do not go with the cheap imitators! Floorguard not only has a great product, but their installers and service is well worth any extra cost, which is minimal anyway. Our neighbors have commented on how good our garage looks and we’ve recommended them to Floorguard without hesitation.

Covering our old, gray garage floor was a great aesthetic and functional improvement. This project requires 2 days: first day preparing the surface (major job requiring right equipment), putting down first coating and sprinkling the flakes. This requires about 4 hours. After this dries, they come back next day and apply the topcoat. They notified us when they would start the work and arrived as promised. They worked diligently, completed the work efficiently, left the work areas and our driveway clean. The owner Steve is a great guy to deal with.

It was a pleasure dealing with the company’s owner Steve Chaloult. When we called him to give us an estimate, he arranged to come within a few days. We have a very large two car garage. His estimate was a bit more than the first company we called but he seemed very well prepared in showing us samples and very knowledgeable about his product and we just liked him. For personal reasons , we had to delay installation for about a month and he could not be more accommodating. we finally we able to have it done this past week and it was worth the wait. The garage floor is just beautiful and I never would have thought I would say that about a garage floor! We also had the lower walls around the floor done and very glad we did. At one time we were thinking we could do this ourselves using a kit. WHAT were we thinking? This is a job for a professional and we are so glad we used Steve.

The owner Steve Chaloult was easy to work with and he’s very good at what he does. I highly recommend Floorguard as your contractor if you’re wanting to have a garage floor finished with a durable epoxy like colored finish. Floorguard came when they said they would and cleaned up after they were finished. Floorguard also installs garage storage cabinets.
