Client and Facility Overview

A suburban Chicago hospital is dedicated to providing the highest quality medical care to its community. With a busy environment filled with hard-working medical professionals, the facility also experiences significant wear and tear from constant foot traffic, equipment movement, and rigorous cleaning protocols.

Requested Maintenance

The client requested the removal of the old tile flooring and the installation of a new, durable and easy to clean 100% solids epoxy flooring system throughout the storage and break areas.

Decision Driver and Timing

The primary decision driver for this project was the need for a more resilient and hygienic flooring solution. The hospital required a floor that not only looked professional but also met high standards of cleanliness and durability.

Scope of Work

Preparation: Removed cabinets, tables, and storage units to clear the workspace.
Tile Removal: Detached the cove base from the walls and tore out the old tile.
Epoxy Installation: Applied the new 100% solids epoxy floor system.
Reinstallation: Moved all furniture and storage units back into place.

Notable Details

Given the sensitive nature of a hospital environment, we implemented safety practices such as using HEPA filters to maintain air quality and selecting low-VOC (volatile organic compounds) paint to ensure no lingering odors.

The entire process was executed efficiently to minimize disruption to the hospital's operations. Our team worked quickly to complete the project in a short timeframe.

In addition to being aesthetically pleasing, the new epoxy floor is incredibly durable and easy to clean. This makes it an ideal solution for areas subject to heavy foot traffic and rigorous cleaning protocols, contributing to the overall hygiene and operational efficiency of the hospital.

Client Satisfaction

The hospital administration was highly satisfied with the results. The upgraded flooring significantly enhanced the functionality and appearance of the storage and break areas. This project reinforced our reputation for reliability, efficiency, and quality in specialized environments.
