At Big Easy Flooring we floor medical buildings across New Orleans and the surrounding parishes. Contact us and we will walk the space, measure it and price the work.
A medical building usually holds consulting rooms, offices, waiting areas and corridors, and each wants something slightly different.
The skill is choosing floors that meet each brief while still reading as one building rather than four specifications stitched together.
That is decided at the survey, by walking every area rather than pricing from a schedule of areas.
One building, several briefs. These are the systems that cover them without the place reading as four different buildings.
Consulting rooms and corridors, hard wearing and easy to clean without being clinical to look at.
More on welded sheet vinylTreatment and procedure rooms, where seamless is the requirement rather than the preference.
More on seamless resinOffices and quiet areas, where noise control matters more than washability.
More on contract carpetReception and entrance areas, which are the first floor anybody sees and the one that takes the street.
More on natural stoneHow often a floor is cleaned, and with what, narrows the options faster than anything else. We ask that question early because it changes the answer.
A corridor mopped nightly with a neutral cleaner and a procedure room wiped down with something aggressive are not the same specification, even if they look similar on a plan.
Where a corridor meets a treatment room, the joint has to be flush, sealed and cleanable. Detailing those transitions is where a medical floor is won or lost.
A threshold strip that traps dirt undoes a seamless floor on either side of it, so the junction gets designed rather than defaulted.
Substrate, existing floor, cleaning regime, acoustic requirement and which areas can be released when.
On a slab we take a moisture reading. In an office we look at what is under the existing carpet. In a treatment room we look at the junctions before we look at the field.
The quote goes in writing, area by area, with the preparation priced in.
A medical building 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, and usually they should. The transitions are what need designing.
Commonly, phased around the rooms that must stay in use.
It matters, and it is worth raising. The build-up under the floor affects it as much as the surface.
Yes. It is usually the first floor anyone sees, so it is worth getting right.
By choosing a palette across the areas at the survey rather than specifying each room in isolation.
Yes, and on an occupied medical building that is normally how it runs.
