Special Finishes Required
(1) Floor covering must be a non-skid, impervious
material. Prefer a monolithic floor with integral cove base. If
ceramic or quarry tile is used, provide dark color grout.
(2) Lockers are to be installed on a base with an
integral bench. The lockers shall be raised a minimum of 1-1/2
inches above the top surface of the bench. The base finish
should have the same performance characteristics (not necessarily
the same finish characteristics) as the floor finish, and be
capable of being hosed down when cleaned.
(3) Materials and finishes shall be water and
humidity resistant, and easy to maintain. The preferred wall
finish is ceramic tile floor to ceiling with integrated color
scheme and/or pattern.
(4) Specify full length, framed mirrors located at
the end of each locker row in the dressing rooms, and full width
and height from the top of the vanity shelf to the bottom of the
overhead soffit lighting.
(5) Specify recessed, wall mounted soap dispensers
to help deter vandalizing. Provide nonporous solid surfacing
material, such as Corian, counter tops with a 228 to 304 mm
(9- to 12-inch) high integral seamless back splash for sink
counters. Above the back splash, specify a wall mounted shelf
for toiletries. To ensure proper structural support, the counter
top should be mounted to three wall sections. An integral
counter top and sink are preferred. Sinks may be mounted under
or flush with the counter top. This will prevent constant
maintenance around the water seal where the counter and sink come
into contact. Provide soffit lighting over each counter top.
Provide structural support underneath counter between each sink.
(6) The sauna flooring, walls, and ceiling should be
cedar or redwood. The sauna flooring should be removable for
cleaning of the subfloor. The ceiling height shall be 2734 mm
(9 foot 0 inch) minimum.
