Easy & fast installation is so important for temporary hospitals. As we know the pandemic is spreading rapidly, fast installation will definitely means more time to save people.
For homogeneous vinyl sheet flooring, we only need 24 to 48 hours to install.
We can install the bed at the same time when installing the floor, it is unnecessary to wait when everything is in a rush.
Since it is only 2mm thickness, and it is light flooring, so it will need fewer trucks to ship the homogeneous vinyl flooring from our warehouse to the hospitals.
The installation process is so easy and even a freshman can learn how to install it in 10 minutes.
Example: We were successfully installed 50,000 square meters flooring in temporary hospital in 48 hours from shipping from our warehouse. (Of course our 5 warehouses with daily stock 6 million square meters will also important here)
There are only a few cleaners for each temporary hospital, and they also facing the threat of infection. When there are so many beds for each temporary hospital, there will be trash all the time. So it is very important that the flooring will be easy to clean and maintain.
Homogeneous flooring is easy to clean and maintain. Sweep will be good enough, mop it if necessary. Fast and clean.
Temporary hospital is a hospital too, so it has to meet all the flooring requirements from the official hospitals. Actually it might need higher standard cause the hospital is for pandemic. So antibacterial and fungicidal is necessary.
Homogeneous flooring is the only flooring that antibacterial and fungicidal. This will help to prevent the pandemic spread in the hospitals.
When there are so many people in the hospital, especially with elderly and children. So it is common that they will spill water on the floor from time to time.
Yes the cleaner will clean it, but they cannot always clean it at the first time. So waterproof of the flooring can make sure there is no damage on the flooring with water.
Homogeneous vinyl flooring is waterproof.
When there is water on the floor, or patients not feeling comfortable, they might have difficulty to walk safely. So slip resistant flooring will largely help them to walk safely.

All hospital flooring will need to be fireproof. This is to protect all people’s life, both patients and doctors.
Homogeneous vinyl flooring is fire retardant.
For the restrooms in official hospitals, there will be 1 to 3 beds in one separated room. But there is no separated room in temporary hospitals, there is only a board to isolate each bed. Not to mentioned there are always patients walking around or go to Restrooms. So it is important that the floor is acoustic and Sound absorption. This will largely help people to take rest.
Homogeneous vinyl flooring is Sound absorption.
As we know some of the floors contain TVOC and formaldehyde. This is not good for the people health. Or some of the flooring will need to wait 90 days after installation to have people living inside.
Homogeneous vinyl flooring is zero formaldehyde and much better than the safety standard of TVOC. Which also means you can move into the hospital right after installation. This can save time, and good for people’s health.
Homogeneous vinyl sheet flooring is the perfect choice for temporary hospital flooring. We hope all the temporary hospitals can use the correct flooring and build to be the high quality hospitals.
