At Big Easy Flooring we floor hospitals and healthcare buildings across New Orleans and the surrounding parishes. Contact us and we will walk the space, measure it and price the work.
A hospital floor is walked on, wheeled on and cleaned around the clock. That rules out anything needing gentle treatment and puts the emphasis on durability and on how the floor is joined.
Noise matters as much as wear. A corridor above a ward carries footfall, and what goes under the floor changes that more than the surface does.
So does flatness. Beds and trolleys move constantly, and a lip at a threshold is felt every single time.
Four systems for a building that never closes, and the reason each one belongs where it does.
Seamless resin for the areas cleaned hardest and most often, where a joint is a liability rather than a detail.
More on seamless resinWelded sheet through wards and corridors, hard wearing and quiet enough not to carry into the room next door.
More on welded sheet vinylSluice rooms, utilities and plant areas where water is routine.
More on waterproof systemsEntrances and public areas, taking grit off the street without scratching through a surface layer.
More on tileOn a live hospital site the hardest part is rarely the flooring. It is working section by section without closing a route that has to stay open.
We agree the phasing before the first area is lifted, including which corridors stay live, where the hoarding goes and when each area comes back into use.
Cure times are part of that plan, not an afterthought. A resin floor that needs overnight between coats determines the schedule.
Damaged sections can usually be cut out and replaced rather than taking up a whole corridor, which keeps the building running and keeps the cost proportionate to the damage.
Welded sheet can be patched and re-welded. Resin can be cut back and re-laid. Both are quicker than a full replacement and both are worth doing before the damage spreads.
The substrate, the existing floor, the cleaning regime and the access. On a hospital the access question is usually the one that changes the price.
We take a moisture reading on any slab before specifying a bonded system, and we look at every transition rather than assuming they are all the same.
The quote goes in writing with the preparation and the phasing priced into it.
A hospital job prices on access and program as much as on area.
We will not quote a rate over the phone, because a rate without a measure is a guess with a number on it. We come out, measure, test what needs testing and put it in writing.
Yes, phased and agreed in advance. That planning is part of the job rather than something arranged on the day.
Transitions get detailed properly so there is no trip edge and no open joint.
Yes. Cutting out and replacing a failed section is common work and usually the proportionate answer.
It depends on the system and the cure times involved. You get the timeline for your own areas at the survey.
Where the building needs it, yes. It is priced that way from the start.
Yes. Those are waterproof system areas and they get specified separately from the wards.
