Choices for healing environments.
Mannington Commercial. Choices that work for health+care.

What transforms a healthcare facility into a
healing environment?
Is it the medicine and monitors and machines? Clean corridors
and cafeteria jello? Is it public areas that radiate warmth?
Windows that let in daylight and look out onto the world?
All of this, and much more, are tools that serve the healers
and patients who work and recover in these spaces.
Ask nurses, doctors or paramedics why they choose the
healthcare profession and, at the core, they will say it is
because they care. Ask designers who choose to create the
spaces in which everyday miracles of medicine happen, and
you hear the same thing.
Health+Care.

Health+Care
At Mannington, we believe that we create more than floors.
We create choices to help create healing environments.
Our healthcare product mix is just that: a mix. Not an isolated carpet or set
of resilients, but options that work together as a system to enable you to
benefit the people who work and recover on them.
Good choices for aesthetics. For performance. For environmental
responsibility. For how spaces function, and how people move within them.

Your Project. Our Products.
We know every project is unique, and within any project different
products are needed for different spaces. Multiple flooring solutions
must work together, based on aesthetics and functionality.
Innovations in modular and performance broadloom carpets mean
they are built for high traffic, durability and ease of maintenance.
Resilient Sheet, Premium Tile, LVT and VCT bring aesthetic
and technical design together in constructions that eliminate
performance worries.
Our porcelain products are created to be faithful to nature, yet meet
the needs of work and life in healthcare settings. Mannington’s
porcelain flooring prohibits the growth of bacteria, mold or fungus
and will not absorb VOCs or chemicals.
Mannington Premium Rubber Flooring ensures color coordination
from product to product, whether it is tile, stair treads, wall base or
finishing accessories. Its superior formulation eliminates the need
for wax, harsh strippers and cleaning agents, lowering maintenance
costs over the life of the floor.
All of these innovative products are created with the individual and
the project in mind. So while it is true that we offer the only mix of
soft and hard commercial flooring solutions, it is equally true that we
work to provide every customer with a solution that is exactly right
for the project.

We are the sum of our choices.
It is not enough to have a diverse portfolio of products. We
must weigh the impacts and benefits of the choices we make.
And we must choose to do what is best for the environment
inside a building, and for the world outside, that we all share.
What we build matters.
We approach every product asking, “Who does this benefit?”
“Who does this impact?” And, “Can we do better?”. Hard
work and integrity have led us to environmentally forward
flooring innovations that keep waste out of landfill, converting
it into materials that are usable – and then into products
that are beautiful. Like utilizing reclaimed drywall in both our
Infinity ® RE and Premium Tile products of incorporating a
minimum of 10% post-consumer recycled content available
across our broadloom and modular carpet backing platforms.
This commitment also includes careful consideration of
how we construct products – like offering 9’ and 12’ widths
to reduce trim waste and cut down on installation time.
How we build it matters.
Ongoing initiatives in operational excellence have resulted
in reductions in both energy and water usage at our
manufacturing facilities. Implementing a green energy
strategy is another way we are reducing our environmental
impact. Our LOOP reclamation program provides an
efficient way to bring back carpet from job sites and recycle it
back into new flooring product. Our manufacturing facilities
are ISO 14001 registered. Our sample return and Tryk ®
programs are smart ways to serve design while reducing
unnecessary waste. These choices matter because better
products should be brought to market in better ways.
Where we build it matters.
The communities that we serve are as important as the
world we share. So over the years, we have found ways to
give back to our communities. Our participation in the Stand
Up for Salem renovation project of downtown Salem, New
Jersey has benefitted many local businesses and families. We
also hold an annual charity auction called Art with a Heart,
which promotes young artists in our communities with all
proceeds going to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
All of these practices are part of our approach to sustainability.
We choose to value the whole person and the whole
community of our customers, associates and friends. These
are the things that are worth living for, and working to serve.

Mannington Commercial’s experience in developing and
manufacturing both soft and hard surfaces translates to the
highest level of engineering for healthcare. Addressing the
specific needs of healthcare spaces by providing flexibility,
ease of maintenance and long-term durability.
Flexible solutions
Products only truly solve design challenges when they can flex to
meet the customer’s needs. At Mannington, we understand that
each project contains many different factors, different spaces,
different challenges. So we offer products that perform the right
way for a variety of needs. For every challenge, for every flooring
need, we have an appropriate solution.
Low maintenance is a high priority.
Integrated
Performance
Low maintenance means lower costs. Ease of cleaning means
reduced personnel training and cleaning product needs. Greater
durability means that a healthcare facility can serve patients
without interruption.
We know that these and other occupancy considerations
can be designed into a space. We also know that they can be
designed into our products. So we offer Quantum Guard HP,
the industry’s highest performing, lowest maintenance urethane
aluminium oxide topcoat cured by a UV process. We build
our sheet flooring with homogeneous, colorsafe construction
for superior durability and performance. We use premium
nylon fibers and advanced backing system technology in our
soft flooring. These are not small details. They are essential
components.
From carpet to resilient, Mannington’s healthcare products
integrate to create a continuous and coordinated look.

Performance Broadloom
Integra HP RE eco-savvy performance broadloom is a resource
conscious choice for healthcare. In addition to its post-consumer
recycled content, the performance and durability of Integra HP RE
allows the carpet to stay on the floor longer—the most significant
way to reduce the impact on the environment.
Integra HP RE can be chemically-welded with Mannington
resilient sheet products to form an impermeable moisture barrier for
an aseptic environment. Integra HP RE is easy to install. Available
in 9’ and 12’ widths, it remains flexible in hot and cold environments
making corridor installation less of a hassle. These width options also
reduce trim waste making Integra HP RE environmentally efficient.

carpet and post-consumer drywall. Post-consumer
carpet is reclaimed via our LOOP carpet reclamation
program. Through LOOP, 100% of the product becomes
new flooring and can continue to be reclaimed and returned
to new product again and again.
Because Infinity ® RE is modular, it has great design flexibility
with multiple pattern configurations and is also easy to
install and maintain.

a healthcare facility. Our high performance, low
maintenance products reduce costs while improving
the beauty and functionality of your project space.
Performance Fiber, Type 6,6
Type 6,6 nylon provides unsurpassed resistance to soil
penetration, wear, matting and crushing – even in high traffic
areas. Plus, Type 6,6 has superior appearance retention
properties making it an excellent choice for healthcare.
MCare Antimicrobial Treatment
MCare, Mannington’s antimicrobial treatment on the face
and back of Integra HP RE, inhibits fungi and bacterial growth
– passing AATCC 174. The moisture barrier construction and
chemically welded seams also ensure moisture and biologic
contaminants are not trapped under the flooring to continually
resurface and cause exposure.
Stain Resistant Technology
XGUARD ® provides stain defying technology with unparalleled
protection against spotting and common stains with quick
and easy maintenance. Most spills can be spot cleaned with
water or a mild cleaning solution. Combine these features with
Mannington’s high performance backing system to further
enhance the long-term appearance and life of the carpet.
