includes large to small scale patterns and warm

textures. This portfolio of designs provides

you with broad range selections for every

space, from large public areas and corridors

to resident suites and other private areas.

Broadloom carpet offers a continuous flooring

and is available with a variety of backing

options that address specific application needs

Factors that Influence Flooring Selection

Flooring in Senior Living communities contributes

directly to the well-being of residents and staff. At

J+J we understand the importance of flooring and

evaluate its effect on the following:

Maintenance

Understanding your challenges and

requirements is key to establishing the best

solutions for your community. We work with you

to identify the products that will be the most

effective for the long term, to streamline the

installation process with recommendations and

support, and to provide a detailed maintenance

plan to ensure that your flooring performs at the

highest level for years to come.

We have developed proprietary technologies

that meet the unique performance needs of

each space to ensure a long-lasting flooring

installation. These enhancements are designed

to help your flooring resist soiling and stains,

prevent bacteria and fungal growth, block

odors and improve cleanability. Plus, they are

guaranteed to remain on your floor and maintain

efficacy through regular cleanings–including hot

water extraction.

barrier backing system for broadloom carpet

Sentir®

Our groundbreaking odor-blocking technology

that neutralizes odor at its root. This self-

eliminate offensive odors associated with indoor

environments and particularly effective on

odor-bearing spills. Sentir is available on carpet

and Kinetex products.

Flooring Installation in Occupied Spaces

Our quick and flexible installation solutions allow you

to install flooring easily and with minimal disruption

to your residents, staff and guests.

TileTabs®

Our high-tack adhesive TileTabs® for modular carpet

allow installation and replacement of flooring without

the use of spread adhesives. Simply peel the tab,

press on the carpet back, and place. TileTabs® are

odorless, glue-VOC-free and eliminate drying time,

making your space available for immediate traffic

and occupancy.

PreFix®

PreFix® pre-applied releasable adhesive backing is

available on all Kinetex products. The release liner

easily peels away revealing a series of pre-applied

adhesive strips that securely anchor the Kinetex

module in place. PreFix® provides an odorless

installation that eliminates the need for drying time,

allowing for immediate traffic and occupancy.

Loose-Lay LVT

Loose-lay installation options are available for a

broad selection of our LVT products. A perimeter of

glue is all that is needed to secure the installation

in place, ensuring a quick, low-odor installation

and immediate traffic and occupancy. If a plank

becomes damaged, it is easy to simply remove and

replace, an advantage over traditional tongue and

groove or click flooring products.

Life Cycle Cost of Ownership

When evaluating the total life cycle cost of

ownership–defined as the cost of flooring materials,

installation and maintenance over a 7-10 year

period – J+J flooring solutions have a significant

cost advantage. Maintenance for our LVT and

Kinetex products is less than half the cost of

maintenance for hard surface options like VCT and

rubber. And when it is time to replace your flooring,

the replacement costs are significantly lower

compared to other flooring alternatives.

your costs and flooring selections: floorlifecost.com

Solution forMoisture Mitigation

If high moisture emission is detected during

concrete moisture testing, proper precautions

need to be taken to prevent flooring

system failures.

Kinetex will perform in elevated RH slabs up

to 95% and up to 99% when using PreFix.

The breathable nature of this product allows

moisture to pass through the backing rather

than trap it underneath. This method of vapor

transmission allows Kinetex to be installed

without costly moisture mitigation as long as the

Relative Humidity Test reads 99% or below.

Ambulation

The proper floor covering selection

contributes to an environment where

residents feel confident and comfortable

moving from place to place. Diminishing visual

acuity, equilibrium and gait strength are all

conditions faced by the aging population

that make even simple ambulatory activities

difficult. Choosing flooring products that

work together with low profiles and minimal

transitions can increase a resident’s peace of

mind and enhance quality of life.

Safety, Slips & Falls

Safety is a key criterion in choosing flooring

solutions for Senior Living environments.

Providing a firm, non-slippery flooring surface can

help residents gain confidence in their abilities and

keep their independence. Soft surface flooring

solutions such as carpet and Kinetex offer a high

coefficient of friction - leading to a safer surface

to walk. With its breakthrough construction,

Kinetex is one of the most slip-resistant flooring

surfaces in wet or dry conditions, helping to

prevent falls.

Should a fall occur, carpet or Kinetex may reduce

the impact thus reducing the risk or severity of the

injury. The selection of these soft surface floor

coverings are effective solutions to enhance the

overall safety and well-being in the community.

Roller Mobility

The rolling resistance of floor covering is an

important factor to evaluate for roller mobility

safety. Initial rolling resistance measures the

amount of force required to push a hospital bed,

wheelchair, food service cart or other wheeled

object forward from a stopped position. The

rolling resistance coefficient, or coefficient of

rolling friction, is a measure of the amount of

force needed for steady pushing. In each case,

the lower the resistance, the easier it is to push

the object. A low profile flooring will have minimal

rolling resistance, potentially reducing injuries from

pushing and pulling, creating a safer condition for

staff and residents.

Flooring Transitions

Flooring transitions can be problematic when

different flooring types are installed in the

same project. Differences in the height of the

products require a transition strip, creating a

possible trip hazard. Our 5mm LVT is designed

to transition to both J+J modular carpet and

Kinetex with no need for transition strips. This

allows for ease of movement between spaces

and reduces risk of trips and overexertion.

Acoustics

High noise levels can contribute to physiological

stress and poor sleep quality of residents. Speech

recognition, which is critical to the delivery of

good care, is also impacted by high noise levels.

Selecting a flooring with high Noise Reduction

Coefficients and Impact Insulation Classifications,

such as Kinetex, results in dramatic reductions

in both airborne and structure borne noise. This

noise reduction in the Senior Living environment

creates a more comfortable setting and facilitates

communication among residents and staff.
