Floors restored
PU Design and PU AntiColor from Dr. Schutz, the German floor care company, have provided St Vincent’s University Hospital in Dublin with a refurbished flooring surface which was cost effective to apply, ensures protection against day-to-day medical spillages and is aesthetically pleasing.
The floor in the busy Accident and Emergency department, and general admissions ward was 38 years old. Areas of discoloured patching, which did not match the original floor, exposed previous attempts of repairing the damaged floor. Not only was this floor unattractive, but maintaining it proved time consuming and expensive.
In December 2013, specialist refurbishment and maintenance company, P.MAC Ltd, was commissioned by Dr. Schutz Ireland to provide a visually pleasing floor surface which would offer protection against stains commonly left by infection-prevention hand gels. It was also imperative for the floor to avoid requiring buffing machines to maintain the floors, in order for maximum cost savings.
As a result, P.MAC Ltd used Dr. Schutz PU Design (RAL 7047) with a grey fleck. The hospital avoided the expensive procedure of replacing the floor by refurbishing the original floor by applying a layer of PU Design.
