How does the BioCote® antimicrobial floor coating technology work?
Antimicrobial describes something that can resist the growth of microbes, including bacteria, mould and fungi. BioCote® technology creates an antimicrobial floor coating on which microbes cannot survive. Having antimicrobial flooring ensures a clean and safe working environment, suitable for industries such as healthcare, pharmaceutical and food and drink, where standards are high, and the risk from bacteria is even higher.

Frequently asked questions about our antimicrobial floors
What does antimicrobial flooring mean?
Antimicrobial flooring means that microbes, bacteria, mould and fungi can not grow or survive on the floor’s surface. At John Lord, we use BioCote® technology to create an antimicrobial floor coating.
How long do antimicrobial coatings last?
Our antimicrobial epoxy flooring uses integrated BioCote® technology to create an antimicrobial floor coating that lasts as long as your resin flooring does, with no need to reapply.
Which is better, antibacterial or antimicrobial?
Antimicrobial flooring is considered the better of the two options. Antimicrobial floors can combat bacteria, mould, fungi and some viruses, whereas antibacterial floor coatings only protect you from bacteria alone.
How does antimicrobial flooring work?
Antimicrobial floor coatings create a hostile environment for unwanted microbial guests, using BioCote® technology and resin additives to prohibit the growth of bacteria and other microbes on the floor itself.

All John Lord flooring is completely safe for use in your facility. Our resin flooring systems are developed and manufactured exclusively in-house to ISO 9001:2008 standards. Our antimicrobial floors are approved for use in a variety of sectors where health and safety are paramount.
