Without the cracks and grouting associated with natural products, Karndean’s commercial flooring is a highly hygienic option for hospital environments as it does not harbour dirt or germs. It is also extremely easy to maintain and has a simple yet effective recommended cleaning routine that has been specially developed to provide the best finish for the floor.

Having installed Karndean’s floor coverings for the past 12 years, Sutton Hospital did not need to look any further when the next series of refurbishments came around. For the large reception area American Oak from the Da Vinci range was selected. The bevelled edges of this design help to reflect light and define each plank to enhance the overall atmosphere whilst a striking Star Feature was also installed to add an extra element of interest.

The American Oak planks were then laid into the corridors to keep the flooring scheme consistent from ward to ward whilst the waiting room received a more dramatic makeover with Graphite tiles combined with a metallic silver design strip, also from the Da Vinci range.

Finally, the Art block of the hospital, where patients enjoy therapy in inspiring surroundings, needed something special so Sutton Hospital chose the unique Catalonian Granite pebble finish, from the Michelangelo range, as the unique finish added a real element of interest to the floor.

With such a varied collection of viable solutions for the healthcare sector, Karndean’s designs are guaranteed to offer style and substance whilst being easy to clean in such a hygiene aware location.
