In this article, we will explore the benefits of utilizing polyaspartic coatings and epoxy for veterinary clinic and animal healthcare flooring. In today's rapidly growing pet industry, veterinary clinics, doggy daycares, and other animal healthcare facilities are striving to provide the best possible service and atmosphere for their customers. One essential aspect of these establishments is the flooring, which plays a crucial role in maintaining a hygienic and safe environment for both the animals and staff. 

Sanitary Flooring

Proper floor cleanliness is of utmost importance in animal facilities to limit the spread of infections. Resinwerks offers seamless flooring systems that provide animal facility owners with highly durable and easily maintainable solutions. The seamless nature of these systems eliminate tile grout lines, which can harbor bacteria and odor over time. Additionally, grout materials have historically not held up well to the common cleaning chemicals required within these types of applications.

Resinwerks animal healthcare flooring systems are fortified with silver-ion anti-microbial additives, which aid in limiting the spread of harmful microbes. These additives are included in most Resinwerks topcoats and serve a valuable function within these active facilities. In addition to the functional chemical make-up of these systems, seamless resinous flooring allows for the incorporation of a perimeter cove base that can be applied up vertical surfaces. This helps to dramatically reduce maintenance issues while also preventing walls from becoming contaminated.

Durability & Chemical Resistance 

Resinwerks' performance topcoats are fully resistant to uric acid, strong cleaning chemicals, and other products commonly found in animal wellness applications. This ensures the longevity of the flooring, as well as maintaining a clean and safe environment for our furry friends. 

Systems are designed to provide superior resistance to impact and abrasion, helping to promote a long-lasting finish that is easily maintained. 

VOC-Free Materials

Animal facilities are highly sensitive to harmful emissions emitted from coatings, lacquers, and interior architectural paints. Resinwerks prioritizes the promotion of a safe VOC-free environment by specifying materials that emit no harmful substances. All products used by Resinwerks have undergone third-party testing to meet compliance requirements, such as those set by the California Department of Public Health.

By utilizing Resinwerks' VOC-free polyaspartic coatings and epoxy, veterinary clinics and animal healthcare facilities can create a healthier and safer environment for both the animals and the staff. Additionally, these products are eligible for US Green Building Council LEED points for qualifying projects, making them an eco-friendly flooring option.

Proper Traction 

Apart from providing adequate chemical resistance, flooring in vet clinics and doggy daycares must be easily cleaned. Resinwerks understands this need and has developed animal facility-specific flooring systems that incorporate varying degrees of traction additives. These additives help strike the right balance between slip resistance and ease of maintenance. 

Resinwerks offers satin and matte finishes for their animal healthcare flooring systems, ensuring that the flooring not only meets safety standards but also complements the overall aesthetics of the facility.
