At Newlay Floors, we understand that flooring is a critical component of health and safety—not just a finishing detail. In environments such as healthcare facilities, education buildings, public sector spaces, and commercial workplaces, the right flooring solution plays a vital role in reducing risk, supporting hygiene standards, and ensuring long-term performance. Vinyl safety flooring continues to be one of the most reliable and effective options for these settings.

Supporting Hygiene and Infection Control

Hygiene is a top priority in safety-critical environments. Vinyl safety flooring is non-porous, preventing the absorption of liquids and contaminants. When installed by Newlay Floors with heat-welded joints and coved skirting, it creates a seamless, hygienic surface that is easy to clean and supports strict infection control requirements—particularly important in healthcare and public sector settings.

Built for Durability and Longevity

High footfall, wheeled traffic, and daily operational pressures demand flooring that can perform consistently over time. Newlay Floors specifies and installs vinyl safety flooring that is proven to withstand heavy use while retaining its safety properties and appearance. This durability helps clients reduce lifecycle costs and avoid unnecessary disruption caused by premature replacement.

Low Maintenance, High Performance

Vinyl safety flooring is designed for efficient maintenance, requiring simple cleaning regimes to keep it safe and compliant. This reduces ongoing maintenance costs and allows facilities to remain operational with minimal downtime—an essential benefit for hospitals, schools, and occupied commercial buildings.

Compliance with Health and Safety Standards

At Newlay Floors, compliance is never an afterthought. The vinyl safety flooring we install meets relevant UK health and safety standards, including slip resistance and fire performance. Our experienced team ensures installations are carried out correctly, helping clients meet their legal obligations and demonstrate a proactive approach to risk management.

Comfort and Acoustic Benefits

In addition to safety, vinyl safety flooring provides underfoot comfort, supporting staff wellbeing in environments where people are on their feet for extended periods. Many systems also offer acoustic benefits, helping to reduce noise in busy spaces such as corridors, wards, and learning environments.

Safety Without Compromising Design

Modern vinyl safety flooring offers a wide choice of colours and finishes. Newlay Floors works closely with clients to select designs that enhance the appearance of a space while maintaining safety performance—supporting wayfinding, zoning, and accessibility where required.
