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.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Histonet] Floor Choice Question, and blog post
Good Morning from Frigid Chicago:
Our lab has the opportunity to do some badly needed painting, and also to make
changes in the floor surfaces. 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:
