Homogeneous Vinyl Flooring

Q: Why pick homogeneous over heterogeneous in hospitals?

Through-pattern, single-layer composition and hot-welded seams deliver top-tier hygiene and abrasion resistance.

Q: Is homogeneous suitable for wetrooms?

Use a dedicated wetroom system with integrated drains and upstands for continuously wet areas.

Q: Does homogeneous have acoustic versions?

Acoustic options are limited; for acoustics consider heterogeneous acoustic or underlay solutions.

Q: How are local repairs handled?

Heat-welded patches using color-matched rods; keep attic stock from the original batch.

Q: Are ESD properties available?

Yes--use Static Control homogeneous variants (conductive/dissipative) in electronics/IT/labs as needed.

Single‑layer homogeneous vinyl for hospitals, labs and corridors with hot‑welded seams, high abrasion resistance and low VOC. Materials‑only B2B supply.

Purpose & Use Cases

We provide materials‑only supply for B2B clients (distributors, contractors, developers, architects, facility owners). Installation is handled by your appointed contractor/installer.

Homogeneous vinyl is a single‑layer, through‑pattern sheet engineered for maximum wear resistance and seam‑welded hygiene. It is specified where clinical cleanliness, durability and ease of decontamination are critical:

Healthcare: wards, ICU corridors, treatment/clean rooms, nurse stations.
Labs & Pharma: clean areas, sample prep, support corridors.
Education & Public: heavy‑duty corridors, stair landings, circulation.
Transport/Back‑of‑house: service corridors, technical rooms.

Key Benefits for Projects

Seam‑welded hygiene: hot‑welded joints + coved skirtings create continuous, cleanable surfaces with minimal dirt traps.
High abrasion resistance: dense single‑layer composition stands up to rolling loads and heavy footfall.
Chemical & stain resistance: suitable variants for healthcare cleaning protocols and common agents.
Low maintenance PU: factory surface treatment supports efficient daily routines.
Color‑through design: through‑pattern material helps mask scratches and supports long service life.
Low emissions: low‑VOC options with common indoor air labels (request certificates).

When to Choose Homogeneous vs Heterogeneous vs ESD

Choose Homogeneous where hygiene, durability and color‑through wear are the top priorities (hospitals, labs, corridors).

Detailing &
Design Notes

Subfloor & moisture: adhere to testing/levelling best practices (installer).
Seam layout: place welds away from water sources where possible; use preformed corners for coving.
Wall protection: pair with vinyl wallcoverings in impact lanes (beds, trolleys).
Stairs: specify dedicated stair nosings/treads from Stairs solution.
ESD zones: switch to Static Control conductive/dissipative systems where required.

Sector Guidance

Healthcare

Opt for chemical‑resistant homogeneous variants in treatment/clean rooms.
Use coved skirtings and sealed penetrations for infection control.

Labs & Pharma

Consider ESD/EC builds in instrument rooms; ensure chemical compatibility with typical agents.

Education & Public Buildings

Dense composition handles heavy corridor traffic and frequent cleaning; choose mid‑tone colors to mask scuffs.
