Healthcare flooring company in New Orleans: what we install
This page is for practice owners and facility managers planning new floors. It covers what to put in each type of room, what a medical floor has to handle, and the moisture and flood questions that are specific to building here.
As a healthcare flooring company in New Orleans, we work room by room, because a waiting room and a procedure room need very different floors.
Clinics and medical offices
Front desks, offices and consult rooms need a durable floor that looks good and is easy to clean every night. Luxury vinyl and carpet tile both fit here.
Exam, treatment and procedure rooms
These rooms see the most spills and the strictest cleaning. Mannington notes that operating rooms are generally required to use monolithic, or jointless, flooring, and sheet floors with welded seams are the usual answer.
Waiting rooms, corridors and nurse stations
Heavy foot traffic, wheelchairs and rolling carts all cross these areas, so the floor has to stay firm, flat and slip resistant.
Labs and utility rooms
Chemical spills and equipment loads point to hard, jointless surfaces such as resin or epoxy systems.
Built for New Orleans
What does a medical floor have to handle?
Four demands shape almost every flooring choice in a healthcare building.
Spills and daily cleaning
The CDC says carpet is harder to keep clean than hard-surface flooring, especially after spills of blood and body substances. It also notes that disinfecting floors offers no advantage over regular detergent and water cleaning, so a floor that cleans well with ordinary methods matters more than one sold on chemical claims.
Slip resistance and wheelchairs
The 2010 ADA Standards require floor surfaces to be stable, firm and slip resistant, and limit carpet pile to 1/2 inch. The ADA's advisory notes that carpet can sharply increase the force needed to push a wheelchair, which matters in corridors and waiting rooms.
Seams and wall joints
Sheet vinyl and rubber sheet can be heat welded at the seams and flash coved about 6 inches up the wall, according to Mannington, which leaves no gap for dirt or fluid at the floor's edge.
Staff on their feet all shift
Mannington also notes that rubber typically gives better comfort underfoot than other resilient floors, which helps in nurse stations and long corridors.

How it works
Which floors suit a medical building?
Most healthcare projects use a mix of these, chosen room by room.
- 01
Sheet vinyl and luxury vinyl
Welded sheet vinyl suits clinical rooms, and vinyl plank or tile suits offices and waiting areas.
- 02
Rubber sheet
Comfortable underfoot and weldable, a good fit for corridors and staff areas.
- 03
Jointless resin and epoxy
For labs, utility rooms and other areas with chemicals or heavy carts. See epoxy flooring.
- 04
Carpet tile, only where spills are rare
The CDC calls avoiding carpet prudent where spills are likely, but says carpet tiles can be removed and replaced if they're contaminated, which makes them workable in offices.
New Orleans humidity, slabs and water: what to plan for
Building here adds moisture and flood questions that a medical floor has to be planned around.
Test the slab before resilient flooring goes down
The Department of Energy classes Orleans Parish as hot-humid (climate zone 2A). ASTM's slab humidity standard (F2170) says excess moisture in a slab can cause debonding and microbial growth under a floor covering, and that manufacturers generally require moisture testing before install. On a medical job, that test comes first. Our subfloor preparation page explains the prep.
Ground-floor clinics and water events
NASA notes that about 70% of New Orleans sits below sea level. The CDC's guidance for healthcare facilities says carpeting that stays damp should be removed, ideally within 72 hours, so plan hard-surface floors for ground-floor rooms where a leak or flood is likely.
How the install fits around patient care
A practice can't stop seeing patients for a floor. These are the points to settle in the estimate.
Phasing
Agree which rooms go first so the practice can keep running in the others.
Timing
Ask for work hours that keep noise and traffic away from patients.
Dust and access
Agree how work areas are closed off and which entrances crews use.

Get each floor's cleaning instructions so your cleaning team uses products the manufacturer allows.

FAQ
Common Questions About Medical Buildings
Talk to an Expert about Medical Buildings.
What type of flooring is best for a medical office or clinic?
It depends on the room. Welded sheet vinyl or rubber suits exam and procedure rooms, luxury vinyl or carpet tile suits offices and waiting areas, and resin or epoxy suits labs and utility rooms.
Can our clinic stay open while the floors are replaced?
Usually, if the work is phased room by room. Settle the order of rooms, work hours, dust barriers and crew entrances in the estimate so patients and staff can keep using the rest of the building.
Is carpet allowed in a medical building?
The CDC doesn't ban it, but it calls avoiding carpet prudent where spills are likely. Carpet tile is the workable option for offices, because a stained tile can be removed and replaced.
Does New Orleans humidity affect vinyl or rubber flooring on a slab?
It can. Excess slab moisture can cause debonding and microbial growth under resilient floors, which is why manufacturers generally require a moisture test before install.
