Step inside the newly upgraded Intensive Care Unit at Knox Private Hospital and you’ll see how every detail has been designed with safety, comfort, and advanced care in mind. Curated by Skar Architects as part of a major redevelopment, the ICU is a calm, high-functioning space where patients and staff are supported by thoughtful design choices.
At the centre of this upgrade is Polyflor’s Expona Flow, a premium vinyl sheet collection engineered to meet the demands of modern healthcare. With its seamless installation and smooth surface, Expona Flow creates a hygienic foundation that is easy to clean and maintain. Critical in clinical environments where infection control is a top priority.
But performance doesn’t mean compromising on style. Expona Flow is available in a wide range of contemporary designs and calming tones, helping Knox Private Hospital’s ICU achieve a sense of warmth and reassurance. Clean lines, clutter-free zones, and carefully considered colour palettes that work together to create a therapeutic atmosphere that aids recovery.
Expona Flow was specified alongside Polysafe Quattro and Verona PUR throughout different parts of the hospital. Each range was chosen for its unique performance characteristics, whether that’s slip resistance in wet areas, comfort underfoot for staff, or long-lasting durability in high-traffic workrooms. Together, these solutions deliver a safe, resilient environment that looks as good as it performs.
The result is a space that works as hard as the people in it. A clinical setting that balances hygiene, compliance, and everyday practicality with design excellence. At Knox Private Hospital, Expona Flow proves that flooring can play a powerful role in healthcare, supporting patients, staff, and the highest standards of care.
