The midnight hospital makeover

Some businesses cannot shutdown. Hospitals for one. Not even for something as essential as new flooring. So, what’s a viable solution for worn-out flooring in a lab, patient ward, waiting room, or other communal area?

EcoLock™.

Thanks to EcoLock’s patented interlocking design, an installation team can complete the work overnight, without adhesives, noise, dust, or disruption. By morning, the next shift can walk into a completely new floor—safe, slip-resistant, and ready for patients.

We spend a significant amount of time talking about EcoLock’s environmental benefits and there are many:

• PVC-Free, Red List Free: Improves indoor air quality for patients and staff.
• Patented "zipper" interlock offers a watertight seam using Freestyle SeamLock.
• Built-in underlayment for underfoot comfort and sound reduction.
• Extremely low absorption rate - Non-porous surface resists stains and infectious organisms.

Yet for hospitals, urgent cares, and similar healthcare-related organizations, the bottom line is staying online and working. EcoLock provides peace of mind for healthcare facilities that can’t afford to stop helping people just to install a floor.

Do you want that kind of peace of mind for your facility? For more information on EcoLock, including it’s newly issued EPD, visit our website.

No downtime at Waterbury Hospital

“We needed to select flooring for the primary lab at Waterbury Hospital with the stipulation there could be little to no downtime. The hospital originally considered an epoxy, but the existing floor was not in the greatest shape and the necessary drying time would require the lab to be unavailable for several days. We did some research and came across SelecTech. It’s FreeStyle BioLock product met the standards of what was needed for a hospital lab. Even better, with its interlocking technology, it could be installed over the existing floor. That essentially meant no downtime for lab staff members. The installation of the 2200 square feet of flooring did require close coordination with hospital staff over the three days we were there. Yet when you consider the scope of the job, the superior quality of the floor and zero down time, going with SelecTech’s FreeStyle BioLock was a win for all parties.”
