Safety flooring questions from Maidstone customers
Do you cove the skirting?
In wet and clinical areas, yes — we take the safety flooring up the wall around 100mm and cap it off, which removes the wall/floor join where water and bacteria collect.
Can you fit safety flooring in a Maidstone care home without closing it?
Yes — most of our Maidstone care home installs are phased room-by-room, with welding done off-peak so residents and staff can carry on as normal.
Can it be cleaned with strong chemicals?
Yes — manufacturer-approved cleaners include the standard hospital-grade products. We supply the maintenance schedule with the install.
What's the difference between safety vinyl and standard vinyl?
Safety vinyl has aggregates through the wear layer that maintain slip-resistance even when wet. Standard sheet vinyl can become slippery when wet — fine for a domestic kitchen, not for a commercial one.
Do you provide test certificates for Maidstone compliance audits?
Yes — we supply manufacturer slip-test certificates and our own installation sign-off for every Maidstone safety-flooring project.
