In a medical setting safety is a top, if not the top, priority and an aesthetic update doesn’t hurt either, which led Erlanger to partner with us in updating over 100 patient restrooms with our slip resistant polyaspartic flake. They were experiencing grout deterioration which was leading to an unpleasant scent and they wanted to make a change. Demo can be lengthy and in a busy environment, such as a hospital, having areas down for extended periods wasn’t an option. Through much research and development, we were able to create a direct-to-tile system, allowing us to avoid demolition and coat directly over the existing tile.
“Chattanooga Floor Care has installed their specialty coating system in more than 50 bathrooms here at Erlanger hospital. These new floors have helped us keep the bathrooms clean, prevented slip issues and look beautiful. They are easy to work with and provide a quality service.”

In addition to their restrooms we have done a vestibule and are working on a valet parking area. We appreciate the partnership and look forward to additional Erlanger projects to come.
