Aged care - Communal Area Flooring

Social areas

Vital part of any aged care facility

Communal area flooring needs to be durable, but also provide a comforting and stimulating space for aged care residents, as these areas are a central hub for most of the activities of the day, whether it's meals, activities or social gatherings.

Important factors to consider in communal area flooring:
• Good slip-resistance to avoid slips and trips
• Durability
• Excellent acoustic properties to reduce and contain the noise where possible
• Flooring that cleans up as good as new and is hygienic
