Describe the activities
A room used for movement, assemblies and equipment storage needs a clear brief. List regular activities, footwear, wheeled items and furniture. Include the cleaning schedule and expected daily use.
Review product choices
Laminated tiles, interlocking rubber and rolls are ranges to discuss with the team. Ask about product-specific slip, wear and maintenance information. Do not infer a certification from general marketing language.
Think about the building
Noise transfer, moisture and access can matter as much as the finish. Agree how edges, transitions and door clearances will be handled. The floor should form part of the school's broader accessibility plan.
Approve a sample
Review a physical sample under the room's lighting and request current technical documents before procurement. Record the chosen specification, installation method and care instructions.
