What are Antmicrobial Floors and Walls?
Antimicrobial flooring and walls have added formulations to help block microorganisms, such as the growth of bacteria, fungi, and molds. An antimicrobial additive inhibits microbial and fungal growth attack, acting as a permanent bacteriostat and fungistat against a broad range of bacteria and fungi. When added it becomes part of the floor or wall withouth loosing its performance properties.
