HEALTHCARE
Get healthy and stay healthy. As a specialist in the healthcare sector, nora offers the ideal flooring to meet the high requirements of different healthcare facilities: Healthcare flooring needs to meet hygiene, medical and safety standards.
HEALTHCARE APPLICATIONS
Nora healthcare floorings meet the unique functional and aesthetic demands of your healthcare facility
Emergency Room / Operating Room
Floor coverings in operating theatres and emergency rooms must meet high standards. Experience and expertise are what it takes to fully satisfy the specific mechanical, hygienic and ergonomic requirements of OP rooms. Rubber flooring from nora systems take all these aspects into consideration to create the perfect solution. Specially developed for use in demanding areas such as operating theatres and A&E, it combines comfort, safety, hygiene and ergonomics.
Service Area & Corridor
The first impression counts. That is why many entrance areas are designed to serve as an institution’s showcase, with both a representative and orienting function. Successful architecture of these areas includes floor coverings with acoustic advantages and integrates orientation and guidance systems (e.g. inlays). In addition to sophisticated design, corridors can particularly benefit from safety-relevant criteria such as slip and fire safety as well as easy and coating-free cleaning.
ICU / NICU / PICU
The design aspects of an intensive care unit can be crucial for the patient’s recovery process. Recent and acknowledged studies on the topic of delirium prevention provide scientific evidence for this. Interior furnishing as well as appropriate lighting are thus of considerable importance.
Patients’ & Residents’ Rooms
Floor coverings in hospital rooms must satisfy high demands. The colour and design must be welcoming and support convalescence by creating a comfortable atmosphere of well-being. At the same time, hygiene, safety and accessibility all play a decisive role. Rubber floors from nora combine all these aspects in an attractive form. Design and functionality go hand in hand to make the hospital stay as comfortable and safe as possible for the patient.
Imaging Suite
As diagnostics has become quite high-tech these days, it is all the more important to make the environment calm and relaxing for the patients and lessen any fears regarding the medical devices and examinations. nora rubber floor coverings help create the appropriate emotional therapeutic ambience thanks to their ergonomic and acoustic advantages as well as their wide range of colors and designs.
Waiting Room / Entrance
A pleasant ambience can make the waiting time more enjoyable. This applies to the entire range of waiting areas – from the emergency room to the doctor’s office. A broad range of colors and designs is thus important – as well as easy cleanability in these areas.
Labratory
Laboratory design takes into account the users’ special requirements in terms of space as well as handling various types of media. The construction materials should therefore promote ergonomic design and be as resistant as possible to the types of media used. That is why a thorough analysis of the individual needs of the respective laboratory and a qualified consultation is required – also regarding the floor covering’s bacteria resistance.
Nurses Station / Physical Therapy
Optimal conditions in physiotherapy are ensured by a particularly elastic floor covering. Its energy-absorbing effect provides additional safety and reduces the risk of injuries due to falling.
Stairwell
Safety is the priority when designing stairways and emergency exits. Fire safety as well as slip-proof steps are important material properties. Pre-formed stair coverings with one-piece stair nosing, tread and riser as well as colour-contrasting or phosphorescent edge strips increase safety. Elastic materials with good footfall sound absorption values of up to 10 dB ensure comfortable room acoustics.
