The Stakes are Higher
In a hospital operating room or MRI suite, a flooring failure is not just an aesthetic issue—it is a safety hazard. Blistered sheet vinyl can harbor bacteria, while failed static-dissipative (ESD) flooring can endanger sensitive medical equipment.
Moisture: The Enemy of Hygiene
High moisture levels in hospital slabs are a common cause of adhesive emulsification. When the adhesive breaks down, seams open up, creating breeding grounds for pathogens. Furthermore, moisture moving through the slab can carry high alkalinity, which damages the plasticizers in medical-grade vinyl.
The Prescription: Pre-Installation Diagnostics
Healthcare projects cannot afford downtime. IFTI provides rigorous moisture testing and GPR scanning for renovation projects within active hospitals. We work around your patient care schedules to provide the data needed to select the correct moisture mitigation systems, ensuring your floors remain sterile, flat, and safe for decades.
