Particularly important for schools

Put subfloor preparation, durability, slip resistance, hygiene, acoustic performance and disruption management near the top of your checklist. A good installer should also be able to recommend different vinyl tile specifications for classrooms, corridors, reception areas, stairways and other high-traffic zones rather than treating the entire school as one flooring application.
