Healthcare
Epoxy Terrazzo is the perfect solution for healthcare settings. The seamless installation of terrazzo is not only known for its ease of maintenance but also its durability, often outlasting the lifetime of the building. Terrazzo is top of its class for infection control and slip resistance. Terrazzo does not support the growth of bacteria, mold or mildew and meets the ADA recommendation for slip resistance for both wet and dry conditions. It is also resistant to iodine, betadine and other chemicals commonly found in hospital laboratories and operating rooms. The benefits don’t stop there. Terrazzo’s design flexibility can create a comforting space for patients, staff, and visitors. It has a GREENGUARD Certification and can aid architects and general contractors in achieving LEED certifications. Browse examples of Franklin Terrazzo Company Inc.'s healthcare projects below.
