If you want to maximize a building’s overall safety and hygiene, investing in antimicrobial flooring is one way to do just that. Antimicrobial flooring is treated to prevent microbe growth, so it can help to prevent disease-causing pathogens from growing on the surface. Ideal for many different settings, antimicrobial flooring can contribute to a cleaner, healthier space.

Where Is Antimicrobial Flooring Used?

Antimicrobial flooring is a versatile option with many potential commercial applications. In short, it’s often ideal in areas that are prone to bacterial development, like areas that are often wet or that see high amounts of foot traffic.
