rooms for reasons of economy, durability, ease of maintenance and
resistance to stains.
3.6.1.2.2 In areas where an upgraded appearance is desired, carpeting
is the normal option. Carpet also aids in noise reduction and reduces
fatigue when standing for long periods. Fiber, construction, and
cleanability must be considered in selection of carpet. Carpet tile is
preferred, but roll goods in 800 mm (6 ft) width may also be
considered. While roll goods are typically less expensive, tiles are
more easily maintained and require replacement only of damaged
portions.
3.6.1.2.3 Certain areas of the building may require specialty floorings.
In restrooms, ceramic tile is normally used because of its hard surface,
ease of cleaning, and stain resistance. In the kitchen, quarry tile is used
because it is impervious to water, grease and most liquids. In physical
fitness rooms, rubber flooring is used for resilience and resistance to
indentation. In NOC rooms and other rooms where electrical
equipment is in use, a static dissipative tile is used to reduce the effects
of static electricity.
3.6.1.2.4 Other flooring materials such as ceramic or quarry tile are
occasionally used when an upgraded image is desired or to
complement the facility image.
