Heavy hospital equipment such as hospital beds are hard

to push on any surface. Kinetex textile composite flooring

has rolling resistance similar to hard surfaces, and the

same reduced pushing related injury potential as a hard

surface.

Healthcare communities promote movement. Doctors,

nurses and staff are working, walking and standing

throughout the space. Kinetex has greater potential to

absorb energy and reduce repetitive foot stress injuries and

other injuries when compared to hard surface. This also

creates a more comfortable space for staff who stand for

long periods of time. With its thermal insulation properties,

Kinetex also provides a warmer indoor environment.
