OUR CAPABILITIES AND EXPERTISE

Hospitals and Acute Care

From emergency departments to surgical suites and patient rooms, hospitals require flooring that meets the highest standards of hygiene, safety, and durability.

Medical Office Buildings

Medical office buildings house a range of services, from outpatient clinics to specialty practices. These environments call for calm, comfortable aesthetics that reduce stress for patients and caregivers alike.

Behavioral Health

Behavioral health environments are designed to prioritize patient and staff safety, emotional well-being, and therapeutic support. Spaces must balance durability with a non-institutional feel while addressing ligature resistance, easy supervision, and the reduction of sensory overstimulation.

Veteran Hospitals

Veteran healthcare facilities serve individuals with a wide range of physical, mental, and emotional needs. These environments must be accessible, trauma-informed, and adaptable—supporting long-term care, rehabilitation, and mental health treatment.
