Hospital Flooring Malaysia
Hospital floors face the strictest specification environment in commercial flooring: infection control via welded seams + coved skirting; chemical resistance to disinfectants; sustained 15-20 year lifecycle; trolley/bed traffic; quiet underfoot; OKU compliance. The default specification is homogeneous vinyl with 100 mm coved skirting, heat-welded seams, R10 slip rating, Bfl-s1 fire rating.

Recommended product types
Hospital flooring, frequently asked
- Standard is 2.0 mm homogeneous in general clinical areas; 2.5–3.0 mm in heavy-traffic public corridors.
- A coved (curved) floor-to-wall junction eliminates the 90° corner where biological material accumulates, supporting infection control protocols and easier mechanical cleaning.
- A correctly specified and installed homogeneous vinyl floor lasts 15-20 years with sand-and-buff refurbishment cycles at year 8 and year 15.
