Cell Flooring

Cells in correctional facilities such as jails and prisons can be busy, hectic spaces that come with unique challenges. These spaces must maintain a clean, controlled, stable environment to ensure the safety of occupants at all times. Cells also need to meet strict sanitation and safety requirements to help protect those living and working in the enclosed areas. With the challenges of constant foot traffic, impact, abrasion, potential exposure to water and puddling, cell flooring systems must be high performing and resistant to vandalism. Durability and strength in cell flooring is paramount to help prevent the need for unscheduled repairs and shutdowns. 

Easy-to-Clean & Low Maintenance Cell Flooring

In crowded correctional facilities, germs spread quickly, dirt accumulates rapidly, and spills can puddle on the floor. The challenge is to keep these busy spaces safe and sanitized, despite frequent overcrowding.

Sherwin-Williams cell flooring is easy to clean and supports a hygienic correctional environment. The fluid-applied, seamless surfaces of our floor systems means many of the crevices and grout lines found in other types of flooring — places where dirt and microbes can accumulate — are eliminated. Our flooring is engineered with antimicrobial features that support pathogen control measures and overall facility safety.

Low maintenance is another correctional facility priority. Our cell flooring systems require no waxing or special surface treatments to perform and look their best. Simple sweeping and wet mopping or gentle autoscrubber are all that are typically required on a regular basis. These industrial-strength system help protect concrete floor slabs over time. Their surfaces are designed to help extend repair and replacement cycles, lowering the need for maintenance shutdowns.

Durable Cell Flooring for Maximum Safety & Longevity

The flooring in cells tends to get subjected to heavy wear and tear from ongoing foot traffic, wheeled carts, impact, abrasion and more. Water puddling, food and beverage spills, human waste and other substances can end up on the floor. At the same time, vandalism by inmates is an ongoing threat.

It it therefore imperative that cell flooring be chemically resistant to a wide range of spilled substances  and cleaning preparations, and have the strength to endure in harsh detention facility environments. Integral cove bases, heavy-duty and seamless surfaces with minimal finishing elements are required. 

Sherwin-Williams cell flooring solutions meet and exceed these requirements. Our fluid-applied, industrial-grade flooring systems offer industry-leading compression, tensile and flexural strengths, and excellent resistance to abrasion, impact and a range of high concentration chemicals and reagents. Engineered with seamless surfaces and integral cove bases, the design of these hard working floors eliminates the need for many of the crevices and grout lines found in other types of flooring. This can help discourage vandalism attempts while simultaneously giving dirt, debris and pathogens fewer places to hide. To further promote a safe environment, Sherwin-Williams High Performance Flooring line offers customizable slip-resistance in many of its systems. 

Tight correctional facility budgets and overcrowded facilities mean cell floors must remain in place over the long term. With their proven performance in high stress environments, Sherwin-Williams flooring solutions are an ideal choice. Our products offer outstanding longevity with minimal care and maintenance. An unlimited selection of standard and custom colors and options are available to help accommodate unique institutional priorities for decor, light reflection, high visibility and safety markings.
