Animal Care Services - Shelter Flooring Installation

As a critical resource for the community, GCAC operates under the mission of providing compassionate care while pursuing lifesaving outcomes for as many animals as possible. This includes handling a variety of animals, from strays and surrenders to those requiring special medical or behavioral attention. The facility’s flooring plays a key role in maintaining a clean, safe, and efficient environment.

Currently, the shelter faces significant challenges due to the wear and tear on its existing flooring, which consists of a combination of sealed concrete, VCT tile, ceramic tile, and epoxy-painted concrete. These materials are no longer able to meet the rigorous demands of the shelter’s operations. The current flooring shows visible wear, including scratches, cracks, and areas where moisture has seeped in, leading to safety and health concerns for both animals and staff.

By installing new, high-performance flooring, GCAC aims to address these issues and ensure the facility remains functional, safe, and aesthetically pleasing. The ideal solution will significantly improve cleaning efficiency, help prevent the spread of disease, and create a safer, more comfortable environment for animals awaiting adoption. A flooring solution that provides additional sound dampening properties would be ideal. Additionally, this project is essential for reducing long-term maintenance costs and prolonging the life of the shelter’s infrastructure.
