The Importance of Aesthetics in Hospital
Flooring
2
There different important factors that hospital
executives put into consideration every time they
are thinking about hospital floor renovation.
Sustainability is quite an important factor and
this is what leads to the choice of many hard non
porous flooring products and especially I they
have a connection to environmental conservation.
Modern hospital flooring contractors are always
looking for materials that can combine
sustainability with aesthetics because of the
impact this combination has on both the patients
and the staff.

Whenever hospital executives are talking to
healthcare flooring contractor, the most
important factors they want to see include ease
of maintenance, durability, the initial cost and
aesthetics. There is no doubt that most people
will clearly see the importance of ease of
maintenance, the initial cost and durability and
no one needs to preach that gospel to them.

However, when it comes to aesthetics, very few
people ever consider the functional properties
that are associated with it. Whether you choose
rubber, linoleum or any other flooring material,
you must make sure that it serves all the
intended purposes and also enhances the expected
outcomes.

When you think in specific about how a floor can
easily affect patients and staff members,
architects, designers and healthcare floor
contractors take time to clearly understand the
effect of different flooring patterns on
patients this is especially true when you are
dealing with mental health patients or other
rehabilitation facilities. The use of high
contract colors, if it is combined with powerful
graphic patterns, has been found to be visually
disorienting to several patients and in some
cases, it actually creates feelings of
uneasiness, confusion and instability.

Hospital flooring designers have realized that
light colors can reflect more light but they get
to deteriorate much faster while darker colors
will absorb a lot of light pure or bright colors
can show stains faster than their counterparts
that are darker. Hospital flooring contractor
and designers have discovered that the selection
of color and pattern that is found to be
appropriate in a patients sleeping are or a
corridor cannot work well in the theater or
operating room where you require colors with
sharp visual contrast in order for the doctors
and nurses to be able to quickly identify any
small items such as micro surgical needles that
could drop.
