It is important for Hospitals, to reflect a
clean and hygienic appearance but also to
cut down on ever increasing cleaning
expenses, by installing effective matting.
The large entrances of hospitals,
especially with the expansive walkways and
porches provide an excellent area for
stopping dust and dirt entering the
buildings.
To take advantage of the cleaning
properties of the matting solutions, all
private exterior walkways should be covered
by
Fall Thru LU 12mm. Recessed porch areas
are best served by using
Fall Thru Extra Duty 15mm which provides
a deeper, firmer clean to hide any remaining
dust particles from view, improving the
image of the Hospital.
Entrance wells should be fitted with
Fall Thru Extra Duty Plus 18mm which
should be flush with the walls of the well
Inside the doors and around the well, in
what is known as 'the cleaning zone', we
recommend installing
Defender or
Stay Put to a distance of at least 180cm
(6') from the edge of the entrance well to
complete the 'complete dust control entrance
system'.
Rear Entrance Areas
We recommend marble professional for all
rear entrance areas.
Marble professional are good inexpensive
mats, which allow them to be changed at
regular intervals For the exterior of
buildings, you can either use any fall thru
left over from the front, or you can also
use
Trap mats or
Brush it!.
Hospital Reception Areas
If the centre of the foyer requires a ramped
centrepiece we suggest
Logomats or
Design mats. Runners are necessary for
the front of the reception areas to give a
finished front desk appearance. Our
anti-fatigue runners such as
Flex and
Stand Easy, are ideal for use behind
desks where staff have to stand for long
periods.
Lifts
The area around the lift is a natural high
traffic point. Most of the employees,
patients and visitors must pass this point.
The lift area, and the lifts themselves, are
an ideal point to stop dirt circulating and
this is where efficient cleaning products,
can have maximum effect. Loose laid internal
dust control mats, or a clean zone
installation are also very effective in this
position. For installations around lifts, we
recommend
Marble Professional or
Scraper, or for loose laid mats we
recommend Directional mats,
Design mats or
Decor.
General Installations
Loose laid
Marble Professional are effective,
inexpensive dust control mats which can be
laid all over the building to control dust
circulation, or alternatively use
Stay Put, which are more expensive but
last longer and stick to tiled or wooden
floors without adhesives, and are fully
machine washable.
