Building a new hospital?

Sustainable flooring for healthcare

Designing a hospital is one of architecture's biggest challenges, a complex process combining systems engineering and functionality with sustainability and aesthetics. And with sustainability and sustainable buildings gaining ground more and more, following a low-carbon pathway becomes an imperative. Flooring accounts for an average 8 to 10% of the healthcare building emissions (embodied carbon), so choosing a sustainable flooring contributes to lowering your project’s carbon footprint.

We have selected for you our low-carbon flooring collections. Take your pick and go to the carbon footprint calculation page to evaluate your project's carbon footprint.
