Helping Medical Facilities Stay Hygienic

May 9, 2025

Smart Flooring for Smarter Healthcare

In the healthcare industry, cleanliness, safety, and durability are non-negotiable. With constant foot traffic, rolling carts, sensitive equipment, and the need for impeccable hygiene, flooring systems in hospitals and clinics must meet a unique set of demands. Increasingly, medical facilities across Colorado and beyond are turning to polyaspartic/polyurea coatings from trusted providers like Rock Solid Surfacing to meet these high standards—and for good reason.

Resistant to Everything a Hospital Throws at It

Medical floors take a beating. Between heavy beds, gurneys, wheelchairs, and daily foot traffic from staff, patients, and visitors, flooring must be able to withstand both physical stress and chemical exposure.


Rock Solid Surfacing’s polyurea systems are:



  • Scratch-resistant and long-lasting
  • Waterproof and stain-resistant
  • Resistant to chemicals and disinfectants
  • Built with non-slip aggregate layers that exceed OSHA’s Coefficient of Friction (COF) safety standards


This durability ensures that facilities don’t have to worry about flooring repairs or replacements disrupting care or risking patient safety.

Rapid Cure, Minimal Downtime

One of the most pressing concerns in a healthcare setting is downtime. Shutting down a wing or clinic floor for days to redo the flooring is often not an option. Polyaspartic/polyurea coatings are fast-curing—Rock Solid Surfacing can apply multiple coats in a single day, and floors are typically ready for use in 24 hours. That means minimal disruption to care and no extended closure times.

VOC-Free and Safe for Occupied Spaces

Unlike many conventional flooring options, polyaspartic/polyurea coatings are zero-VOC (volatile organic compounds). This makes them ideal for installation in hospitals and clinics where air quality is critical, and spaces may need to remain operational during upgrades. No harsh odors, no toxic fumes—just a safe, eco-friendly solution that prioritizes the health of patients and staff alike.


Customization Meets Practicality

Function doesn’t mean compromising on form. Rock Solid Surfacing offers customizable floor graphics, which can be inlaid between coating layers. Clinics can incorporate directional markings, room labels, branding elements, or kid-friendly graphics in pediatric wards—all without sacrificing durability.
