Healthcare Facilities
Hospital, Clinic and Healthcare Facility Flooring
Pacific Coast Contracting installs specialty floor, wall and ceiling coatings for the healthcare industry, including seamless epoxy floors with a cove base that is easy to clean and maintain.
What healthcare floors need to do
Healthcare surfaces are cleaned and disinfected constantly. Seamless epoxy floors with an integral cove base eliminate the cracks and seams that can harbor bacteria, and anti-microbial additives can be included to help limit bacterial growth on the surface. The coating also needs to resist a wide array of cleaning chemicals and stand up to abrasion, impact and heavy traffic from beds, carts and people.

Explore moisture vapor controlOperational constraints and selection considerations
- Occupied buildings. Healthcare work often happens next to active patient areas, so phasing, odor and access need to be planned with the facility.
- Disinfectants. The facility's cleaning and disinfection products should guide the system selection.
- Anti-microbial additives. They supplement cleaning; they do not replace infection control procedures.
- Slip resistance. Wet areas need an appropriate texture, balanced against cleanability.

Common Questions
Healthcare Flooring FAQ
What flooring is best for hospitals and clinics?
Many hospitals and clinics use seamless resin floors with an integral cove base because they have no seams where bacteria can collect and they stand up to frequent disinfection. The right system depends on the area, the cleaning chemicals used and traffic. Pacific Coast Contracting installs seamless epoxy floors and wall and ceiling coatings for healthcare facilities.
Do anti-microbial floor additives make a floor sterile?
No. Anti-microbial additives are designed to help limit bacterial growth on the coating surface, but they do not sterilize a floor or replace a facility's cleaning and infection control procedures. Pacific Coast Contracting can include anti-microbial additives in epoxy systems where they are specified.
Can flooring be installed in an occupied healthcare facility?
Often, with planning. Work near active patient areas is usually phased, and the system, odor, cure time and access routes all need to be coordinated with the facility. Pacific Coast Contracting plans the sequence with facility staff before work begins.
