The brief
Paediatric ward refurbishment with the hospital remaining fully operational. Strict infection control protocols. Existing tile floors with grout joints failing hygiene audits.
The solution
Phased installation over six nights and one Saturday. Tiles removed, slab self-levelled, Tarkett iQ Optima homogeneous vinyl laid with heat-welded seams in a child-friendly pale palette. 100 mm coved skirting throughout. Altro Whiterock cladding to procedure-room walls.
The result
Ward reopened on schedule with no missed operating days. Infection-control audit improvements documented at next quarterly review. Cleaning time per shift reduced ~30%.
