Vivarium Flooring

Chemical Resistant and Easy-to-Clean Vivarium Flooring

Due to the nature of these environments, vivarium flooring should be easy to clean, resistant to chemicals, and durable, all while supporting the specialized ecosystems required by animal holding areas. Additionally, the flooring of vivariums should be long-lasting to prevent disturbing the room’s human and non-human occupants.

The flooring of vivariums and animal holding rooms must be capable of maintaining a clean environment—ideally, preventing damage from the introduction of chemicals, bacteria, dirt, or other contaminants. And, with technicians, researchers, scientists, and animal attendants going in and out of the space, the floor system should be seamless, microbial, and resistant to chemicals to help prevent the introduction of outside factors.

Reptiles, rodents, fish, plants, and other animals have different needs, and each species may require the use of different sanitization methods, cleaning products, and hygiene protocols. In order to appropriately sanitize the environment for its inhabitants, the flooring of these vivarium and animal holding facilities need to be able to withstand multiple daily cleanings, enduring both a variety of products and the application of hot water.

Vivarium flooring must be resistant to chemicals, easy to clean, and able to withstand aggressive cleaning schedules, all while supporting the unique ecosystems required by the animals in the holding facility. The vivarium flooring should also be low maintenance to minimize the chance of disrupting the animals’ environments and the researchers’ workspace.

Durable, Long-Lasting Vivarium Flooring for Maximum Safety

Vivarium flooring undergoes constant abuse from foot traffic, heavy machinery, the weight of large animal enclosures, thermal shocks, surface damage like scratches and scrapes, and exposure to harsh chemicals, acids, cleaning products, animal waste, and more. That means the flooring for these animal holding facilities must be extremely durable.

Additionally, the best vivarium flooring is long-lasting. Floors that are easily damaged and difficult to maintain must be repaired regularly, which can disturb the animals in the vivarium, cause chaos in the environment, and upend the balanced ecosystem. Installing flooring that is designed to be long-lasting prevents these disruptions and makes it easier to continue with business as usual without worrying about the flooring.
