High-Impact-Resistant Flooring
Floors in certain environments are more at risk to impact from tools, instruments, and other objects. To avoid damage, installing impact-resistant floors is critical.
Oops! Dropped tools or instruments? No worries—our impact-resistant floors can handle it.
When sharp objects are dropped, they concentrate their force on a small area of the floor. If your floor is not formulated to resist this force, it can become damaged and lead to other problems such as leaving your floor open to bacteria that can harbor and grow.
What is High-Impact-Resistant Flooring?
High-impact floors are durable and stand up to impact from other materials, whether they are dropped tools on manufacturing floors, scalpels on an operating room floor, or the unremitting tap from high heels. These types of impact will typically indent and gouge a floor or shorten its lifespan. High-impact floors withstand such conditions.
The Benefits of High-Impact Floors
In tough environments, a high-impact flooring system is necessary. Benefits include:
- Avoiding holes, gouges, and indentations in the floor
- Keeping floors attractive, especially when they are in view of clients
- Saving money and time on the replacement of flooring areas or the entire floor
