SAFETY FLOORING IS ABOUT MORE THAN WHAT’S UNDERFOOT.
In environments where hygiene, safety and durability really matter, the way a floor is installed is just as important as the flooring itself.
One specialist technique we use is known as cap and cove. Rather than finishing the flooring flat at the edge of the room, the safety flooring is formed up the wall, creating a smooth, continuous transition between the floor and wall.
Why is this important? It reduces difficult to clean junctions around the perimeter and creates a more hygienic, practical finish, making it particularly suited to environments such as:
🏥 Healthcare and clinical settings
🚿 Wet rooms and accessible bathrooms
🧑⚕️ Care homes and treatment rooms
🏫 Schools and nurseries
🍴 Commercial and hygiene sensitive areas
The joints can also be heat welded, creating strong, sealed seams designed to withstand demanding environments, regular cleaning and heavy use.
At Cheshunt Flooring, we’re not limited to domestic carpets and beautiful LVT. Our experience extends to specialist and contract flooring installations, including safety flooring, cap and cove work and welded joints.
So whether it’s a new carpet for your lounge or specialist flooring for a commercial or clinical environment, we have the knowledge and experience to get it right.
