Antimicrobial protection, applied overnight.
Dr Schutz Virobac is a floor coating system with integrated antimicrobial protection for compatible hygiene-critical environments, applied in agreed access phases.
Fixed proposal for the agreed scope · Access and handover confirmed in writing
Handover planned around your operation
What it is designed to achieve
Hygiene built into the floor itself.
In care and clinical settings the floor is part of the infection-control envelope. Virobac integrates antimicrobial protection into a durable Dr Schutz PU coating — so between cleans, the surface itself is working for you, not against you.
Integrated antimicrobial coating
Protection is part of the wear layer — not a spray-on treatment that wipes away.
Dr Schutz PU durability
The same hard-wearing commercial polyurethane system used in our restoration work.
No ward or wing closures
Applied and cured overnight, area by area, around care routines and access needs.
Renews while it protects
Application refreshes the floor’s appearance and cleanability at the same time.
When to consider this service
Signs the floor needs a closer assessment.
- The specification calls for antimicrobial floor protection
- An existing compatible floor needs renewed protection
- Application must be phased around occupied areas
Floors and environments covered
Compatible resilient commercial floors assessed for Dr Schutz Virobac system requirements.
Operational and curing considerations
Timing depends on floor condition, preparation, area size, drying or curing requirements and the access available. These are confirmed in the written proposal before work is agreed.

Questions, answered
What facilities teams ask us.
If your question isn’t covered, the assessment is the fastest way to a straight answer — free and without obligation.
What is Dr Schutz Virobac?
A commercial floor coating system from Dr Schutz with antimicrobial protection integrated into the polyurethane wear layer, designed for hygiene-critical environments such as care and healthcare settings.
Does it replace normal cleaning?
No — it complements your cleaning regime. The coating provides continuous surface protection between cleans and also makes routine cleaning more effective by renewing the floor’s surface.
Which floors can be treated?
Sound vinyl, LVT and linoleum floors — the same substrates suited to PU coating systems. Suitability is confirmed at the assessment.
How disruptive is application in a working care home?
Minimally — this is precisely what our out-of-hours model is for. Areas are coated and cured overnight in agreed phases, coordinated with night staff, so residents’ routines continue uninterrupted.
