Hospital Flooring Selector

Hospital Flooring Selector

Choose the hospital zone — OT, ICU, ward, corridor, lab, pharmacy, radiology, reception, toilet or lobby — and any special requirement (ESD, anti-bacterial, chemical-resistant, anti-slip), and get the code-compliant healthcare floor with NABH / IS / IEC rationale, an indicative ₹/sq ft band and two alternatives. Tuned for Indian hospitals; costs are indicative ranges (material only, +GST and installation), 2026.

Your zone, in three steps

We score candidate healthcare floors on hygiene / infection-control, anti-slip safety, durability and value, then hard-exclude any floor that fails the zone's mandatory gates (ESD per IEC 61340 / IS 3043, seamless coved hygiene, chemical resistance, R11+ slip per DIN 51130). Guidance, not a spec — confirm grades, NABH infection-control requirements and ₹/sq ft with your applicator.

Your best-fit hospital floor

Homogeneous welded vinyl (coved)

Recommended because it is wall-to-wall welded sheet vinyl coved up the skirting — quiet, resilient and crevice-free, the workhorse for wards, corridors and clinics.
