There is a non-slip epoxy paint that is very durable. There is also a textured flooring that is used in both histology labs and OR suites. Neither is cheap but a lot less than legal repercussions. We have the textured flooring in our lab. Works great. A little harder to scrub, EVS uses a buffer and of course no wax.

We currently have vinyl in the clinical areas and carpeting in the offices. The carpeting will stay. Our decision is whether to swap out the vinyl or not. It is slippery, particularly for visitors coming from outside in the snow and sleet. We are working with the building management firm, but as of yet have not found a surface that is less slippery, but also is smooth enough to allow the maintenance people to scrape paraffin of the floor. Does anyone have any good flooring suggestions? Also, what is the longest anyone has closed a lab for maintenance work? In the vein of remodeling, a new blog post: http://www.chicagonow.com/downsize-maybe/2016/01/isnt-this-blog-supposed-to-be-about-building-a-house/ Lester J.
