Healthcare surfaces take a beating. Floors contend with constant foot traffic and rolling equipment, while walls have to stand up to gurneys, carts, wheelchairs, and frequent cleaning. At the same time, designers are balancing practical concerns such as sanitation, maintenance, and indoor environmental quality with the need to create spaces that feel considered for patients, caregivers, staff, and visitors. Product composition and third-party certifications can help inform those choices, especially when indoor environmental quality and material transparency are part of the specification.
Together, Crossville® and Armstrong Flooring® offer surface solutions for healthcare spaces from the floor up. Armstrong Flooring homogeneous sheet provides resilient flooring for clinical, patient, public, and support areas, while select luxury vinyl tile collections provide resilient design options from floors to walls. Crossville porcelain and ceramic tile extend lasting, easy-to-maintain, and sanitary surfacing possibilities to floors and walls, while Laminam® porcelain panels by Crossville porcelain tile panels offer a durable large-format surface for walls and other high-impact applications throughout healthcare facilities.

Crossville Porcelain Tile for Healthcare Floors
Healthcare surfaces take punishment from more than foot traffic. Gurneys, carts, wheelchairs, cleaning equipment, and other rolling loads can also put walls, corners, corridors, and elevator areas to the test.
Crossville porcelain tile provides a nonporous, sanitary, and easy-to-clean surface for healthcare floors and is engineered to withstand high-volume traffic, equipment impacts, and harsh cleaners. Porcelain tile contains no VOCs, PVC, or formaldehyde, making it a strong material choice for projects where indoor environmental quality is part of the specification.
Porcelain tile also provides enhanced traction options for wet areas and other demanding healthcare applications, from restrooms and showers to lobbies, corridors, cafeterias, back-of-house, and exterior spaces. With an extensive range of colors, sizes, finishes, and visual styles, designers can address the different performance requirements of a healthcare facility while maintaining continuity throughout the project.
Crossville also supports material transparency with EPDs, HPDs, and Declare Labels for its porcelain tile and porcelain tile panels. All Crossville-manufactured tile is Green Squared® certified, and seven Crossville collections are carbon neutral.

Protect High-Impact Walls with Tile
Healthcare walls can take just as much punishment as floors. Corridors, elevator banks, nurses’ stations, and other high-traffic areas are routinely exposed to wheelchairs, carts, gurneys, and equipment.
Crossville porcelain field tile works especially well in corridors, elevator banks, nurses’ stations, and other areas where walls take repeated hits from carts, wheelchairs, gurneys, and equipment. It gives those high-traffic spaces a hard, cleanable surface while still offering plenty of choice in size, finish, color, and pattern.
Ceramic wall tile brings a different kind of flexibility. Its broader color palette makes it a natural fit for patient rooms, waiting areas, restrooms, and other spaces where designers want the walls to do more than simply stand up to abuse.
Crossville Porcelain Tile Panels by Laminam bring oversized 1 meter x 3 meter surfaces to walls and other vertical applications, allowing expansive installations with fewer grout joints across the finished surface. (The 5.6-thick porcelain panels are suitable for interior floors.) In some renovation applications, the panels can be installed over existing tile, helping reduce demolition and downtime. Learn more about porcelain tile panels and tile over tile installations.
Together, porcelain field tile, ceramic wall tile, and porcelain tile panels bring durability, cleanability, and broad design possibilities to healthcare walls.
