Vivarium Flooring
Vivarium's in pharmaceutical research centres, laboratories, manufacturing companies or other facilities are sensitive spaces that must be designed with hygiene and safety at the forefront. Used to house a variety of animals or plants, these areas are required to ensure the safety of inhabitants, an important aspect of which is maintaining a clean, controlled, stable environment. Sherwin-Williams vivarium flooring solutions support the specialised needs of these spaces and are designed to prevent disturbing the room’s human and animal inhabitants.
Chemical Resistant and Easy-to-Clean Vivarium Flooring Systems
Cleanliness and hygiene are vitally important to vivariums. Reptiles, fish, rodents and other animals have different environmental needs, and each species may require the use of different cleaning products, hygiene protocols or sanitisation methods to keep the flooring up to health and safety standards. In order to meet these requirements, the flooring of vivariums and animal holding rooms in pharmaceutical facilities must be both easy to clean and resistant to chemicals.
Sherwin-Williams vivarium flooring solutions offer advanced resistance to a wide range of chemicals, including acids, oils, greases, solvents, bleaches and animal byproducts. Whether sanitation requirements involve multiple daily cleanings, harsh products, pressure washing or steam cleaning, our flooring systems maintain quality without blistering, lifting or cracking.
With technicians, researchers, scientists and animal attendants constantly entering and leaving the space, bacteria, dirt, grime or other contaminants can easily be introduced via the floor. Our vivarium and animal holding facility flooring systems are seamless and easy to clean, helping to prevent the spread of outside factors. Additionally, adding optional antimicrobial properties to the flooring solution can further reduce the risk of microbes disrupting the delicate balance of the unique ecosystems required by the animals in the pharmaceutical facility.
Durable, Customisable Vivarium Flooring for Enhanced Performance
Vivarium floors suffer constant abuse from foot traffic, thermal shocks from cleaning regimens, heavy machinery, the weight of large animal enclosures, surface damage like scratches and scrapes and exposure to harsh chemicals, including animal waste. This daily wear and tear can damage unprotected floors over time, so vivariums require strong, durable flooring that can survive these conditions without deteriorating.
Floors that are easily damaged and difficult to maintain require strict maintenance and regular repairs, which can not only disturb the animals in the vivarium but also halt pharmaceutical operations. The ideal vivarium flooring is both low maintenance and long-lasting to prevent these distributions.
Sherwin-Williams seamless resin flooring solutions are formulated to meet the unique needs of vivarium's or animal holding areas in pharmaceutical facilities. Our flooring systems are extremely durable and can be customised to handle the environmental requirements of a variety of animal and plant species. They are built to last, even while undergoing abuse from animals and the weight of their enclosures.
Sherwin-Williams vivarium flooring solutions offer long-lasting protection and will protect the underlying floor for years to come.
