Laboratory Flooring

Medical diagnostics laboratories, pharmaceutical research institutions, blood banks, biotechnology companies, cannabis facilities, commercial laboratories, research and development labs, and other industries require controlled environments in which to conduct research, perform tests or clinical trials, and produce life-changing products. These laboratory and clean room spaces have sensitive demands, including the installation of flooring systems that are durable, resistant to chemicals, slip-resistant and easy to clean. To maintain a hygienic workspace, laboratory flooring should also support the facility's decontamination process, help control the spread of airborne particles and minimize outside contaminants. These workspaces are also busy, with researchers, technicians, scientists, engineers, and students navigating the space while carrying sensitive equipment or volatile solutions, so laboratory flooring must have slip-resistance to help prevent accidents and injuries.

Durable and Chemical Resistant Laboratory Flooring

The best flooring for laboratories is extremely durable and can withstand constant foot traffic, the weight of heavy machinery and thermal shock where needed. Ideal laboratory flooring should also offer options with electrostatic dissipative (ESD) properties, as room static and uncontrolled electrostatic discharge has the potential to adversely affect sensitive laboratory instruments, devices and testing process. Sherwin-Williams heavy-duty laboratory flooring is not only strong and durable but includes a selection of ESD floor systems that can aide in minimizing the risks of static buildup, helping to maintain a comfortable, safe working environment and support good testing procedures.

Laboratory flooring needs to be low maintenance and stain resistant. Many floors in areas with high traffic or harsh conditions require frequent upkeep like waxing or stripping, which is not ideal for a busy workspace like a hospital laboratory, pharmaceutical research center, or research and development facility. Our flooring solutions are low maintenance and long-lasting, meeting safety requirements.

Additionally, laboratory flooring should be resistant to a wide range of chemicals. Accidents happen, and when oils, acids, blood, solvents, or other hazardous chemical solutions are spilled on the floor, they can damage the concrete surface below. Sherwin-Wiliams laboratory flooring systems are slip resistant to help prevent spills as well as chemical resistant to minimize the damage caused by dangerous chemicals hitting the floor.

Easy-to-Clean Laboratory Flooring That Meets Sanitation and Safety Requirements

Sherwin-Williams laboratory flooring solutions are designed to be extremely easy to clean, making them ideal for environments with intense sanitation requirements like laboratories or cleanrooms. Our flooring is seamless, so they can be installed to eliminate cracks, crevices, sharp corners and grout lines where dust, dirt, chemicals, or other contaminants can gather. The floors possess antimicrobial features that help prevent the growth of fungus and bacteria. These benefits are essential to the flooring in a clean, safe, and sanitary laboratory environment.

The durability and superior chemical resistance of our laboratory flooring systems also ensures they can withstand the regular, intense cleaning with strong disinfectants or sterilants that is required to maintain a hygienic workspace. With a seamless finish, stain resistance, and antimicrobial additives, Sherwin-Williams floors are the best choice for laboratories.

We also offer our laboratory flooring products in a variety of colors and glosses. Choose a design that compliments the rest of the facility and promotes a comfortable working environment. Additionally, our high-visibility options make it easier for employees to see chemical spills, dropped tools, or other tripping hazards, which contributes to the safety of the workplace environment.

Sherwin-Williams laboratory flooring offers long-lasting protection that will look new and be easy to clean for years to come.
