UDT understands the lack of time healthcare workers have to keep their floors clean and their facilities sanitized and disinfected. We also know that applying and maintaining floor finishes is nearly impossible as patient rooms are generally occupied. With this in mind, UDT recommends the extremely low-maintenance and highly chemical-resistant EPIC High-performance floor finish.

With a dry time of only 4 hours, one thin coat of EPIC can be applied without the need for multiple coats. This can be done quickly and easily without risking a significant wait time for the re-occupation of the room. Due to the minimal maintenance required for EPIC floors, the staff of hospitals, clinics, and long-term care facilities can remain focused on sanitizing and disinfecting all while keeping patient rooms filled. Stop waxing and buffing your money away. Switch to sustainable, ultra-durable floors and have time to spare for sanitation!

The EPIC Tile & Grout System acts to 1) CLEAN, 2) COLOR, and 3) COAT any dirty or discolored tiled surface, leaving behind a restored, seamless, and fresh-smelling floor surface. A clean and fresh-smelling EPIC restroom is not only more appealing to patients and employees; it is also a result of healthier air and a more hygienic environment! All it takes is following the 3 C’s: 

1. CLEAN with Ultra Deep Clean 
2. COLOR with UDT Grout Colorant 
3. COAT with EPIC High-Performance Floor Finish 

UDT recommends our EPIC Matte Finish because it includes all the benefits listed above but with a softer and flatter sheen, making it perfectly suitable for long-term care facilities or any healthcare facility catering to a similar population.  

EPIC makes flooring extremely durable and scratch-resistant, which is ideal for abusive environments such as those in the path of wheelchairs, walkers, canes, and other damaging vehicles. EPIC is also quick to apply and quick to dry, and it only requires a recoat every few years. UDT understands that long-term care staff prefer the lowest maintenance product when it comes to floor care. By using EPIC, the hassle of clearing out the facility for floor maintenance can wait 3-5 years or more after the initial coat. Stop the incessant disruptions! 

EPIC also resists yellowing, which is typically a major floor finish issue (especially for healthcare hallways lined with fluorescent lights). EPIC ensures easy-to-clean corridor floors while providing additional time for healthcare staff to sanitize and disinfect doorknobs, bathrooms, and other areas that may get missed when they have less time available. 

Blocking off corridors and redirecting traffic for floor care maintenance is a major hassle. With EPIC, ½ of a hallway can be completed at one time. Contractors have even created bridges so that nurses and patients can travel in and out of patient rooms while the floor finish dries. Imagine if you only need to do this once every 3-5 years and never have to buff again! 

IMPACT is very similar to EPIC but is specifically tailored to provide a seamless seal and shine to concrete, terrazzo, and stone flooring. Because it is made for rock-solid flooring, IMPACT is even a bit tougher than EPIC (which is hard to believe, given the durability of EPIC). Additionally, IMPACT resists yellowing, which is typically a major floor finish issue (especially for healthcare entrances with many windows). 

For extra traction, our Ultra Grip and Aggregate Additive will prevent slips and falls for anyone entering the building, especially when there is extra moisture on the floor from poor weather or routine cleaning.

Ask about our seamless flooring systems that are often required by law in laboratories, sanitization, and operating rooms.

UDT Chip Flake and Quartz systems can be applied on the floor and up the wall, creating a seamless and easy-to-sanitize solution where required. Seamless quartz systems are often specified in laboratories and operation rooms due to their durability and chemical resistance.

Once a hospital or clinic has opened its doors and census figures are high, it can be difficult to schedule a proper time for getting the floors coated with a durable finish. When possible, and for this very reason, beating the crowd and coating the floors during the construction phase can be the easiest and most cost-effective way to utilize UDT coatings, including EPIC and IMPACT.

UDT representatives are always willing and ready to help make this decision. Large hospitals frequently benefit from applying EPIC “in-house”. Small and medium-sized hospitals and clinics may benefit from having trained and experienced contractors prepare and apply EPIC. EPIC Tile & Grout Restoration is a service that is often best served by an experienced contractor. 

While it is not required, training is suggested for any kind of EPIC preparation and application. Some manufacturers have given urethane floor finish a bad name by not properly educating facility managers and floor technicians. Our training will ensure not only a successful initial application of EPIC but also a great looking floor for years to come. 

One or two trained floor technicians are all that is required to finish an entire hospital with EPIC because you won’t have to constantly have the floors refinished every 3-6 months. Our training includes proven acrylic wax removal processes, which are essential to great-looking floors and ensure the longevity of the EPIC floor finish. Only 1 coat of EPIC is needed compared to 4-6 coats of acrylic wax. 

Although ozone is only stable for 15-30 minutes when produced naturally, modern technology has harnessed the power of ozone and has made it possible for ozone to last up to 4 hours.  

Regardless of how long it lasts, ozone returns to normal water (H2O) once it becomes destabilized. This means ozone can be sprayed on anything (tables, floors, door handles, etc.) without even needing to be wiped off. Unlike the harsh chemicals in commercial cleaners, ozone will simply return to water, evaporate, and leave a clean, disinfected, and non-toxic surface behind. 

According to the president of Tersano, a company dedicated to providing sustainable cleaning products with Ozone water, Ozone kills viruses such as COVID-19 “quickly and easily.” This is an incredible finding, especially given the current state of panic the world is experiencing. To connect with a rep for more information, email info@ultradt.com or call 320-258–2266!
