InterfaceFLOR: A prescription for better H&AC environments

Nowhere is the right flooring choice more important than in health and aged care facilities. InterfaceFLOR modular carpet is engineered for the performance that your patients, clients and staff depend on – but it is quiet and comfy, too!

InterfaceFLOR modular carpet is just the prescription for safer health and aged care environments. Independent studies prove our carpets provide low resistance to wheeled traffic[1], a major contributing factor in staff lower back injury. But importantly, soft floorcoverings are shown to reduce slip, trip and fall incidents - 25 times more incidents occur on hard floor surfaces[2].

Incorporating superior moisture management to prevent sub-floor contamination, combined with our Intersept® antimicrobial, our product works hard at helping maintain indoor air quality. In fact, Intersept inhibits 99% of microbial growth with correct maintenance procedures[3].

While soft floor covering keeps things quieter, our range of colours and patterns can make a loud statement in creating a fun kids ward or hotel-like elegance for your most up-market private hospital. While creating an atmosphere more like home for aged care facilities, it is easy to incorporate wayfinding cues to help people get from A to B.

Not only does our product look good but our solution-dyed nylon fibres can take all kinds of spills and cleaning fluids without staining or discolouring, so it looks good for longer with easy maintenance procedures. And if there is a real emergency, just replace the module in minutes – even your regular maintenance staff can do it!
