Why Flooring Matters in Prisons
Correctional facility floors face extreme demands that most industries never encounter. Every failure disrupts operations, forces inmate relocation and strains already limited budgets. At the same time, facilities must meet strict federal and state health and safety standards.
Everlast® Floor eliminates these risks with a seamless, troweled system that bonds directly to concrete. Its EPA-registered antimicrobial protection runs throughout the entire floor to control bacteria, mold and odors, even in crowded housing units. Installation is fast and low-odor, allowing facilities to remain operational with minimal disruption.
When safety, hygiene and budget all have to work together, Everlast® is the floor that delivers.

How Everlast® Floor Compares to Other Options
Traditional correctional flooring, like tile, rubber and bare concrete, creates ongoing risks. Cracked tile can become a weapon, grout traps bacteria and rubber seams harbor moisture and mold. Concrete absorbs fluids and odors, while all three options demand constant repairs that disrupt operations and strain budgets. These vulnerabilities make sanitation, safety and compliance an everyday challenge.
Everlast® Floors provide a seamless surface specifically for correctional environments, delivering long-term safety, hygiene and reliability that facilities can trust.

5 STAR GOOGLE REVIEW
“I am a professional installer in Asheville, NC. We have used Everlast in at least 15 jobs now, mainly commercial kitchens and wet areas. We have also done a few residential jobs instead of the customer using tile. Every time we do this product the builder or customer calls us back to do more. It is easy to install and is tough as they come. We stand behind our installs and are proud to offer Everlast as an option to our customers. I would recommend this to any one wanting a durable and beautiful floor.”
