[ISLMA-Share] Flooring Question

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

After our renovation two summers ago, we have carpet squares through the main area of the library, vinyl wood-look strips (I’m not sure what the product is) in front of the doors where heave traffic comes through, and painted concrete in our makerspace and café area. The carpet squares and vinyl are amazing. The painted concrete is showing some wear two years in, but overall looks fine and shouldn’t be that hard or expensive to repaint. Polished concrete would have been better, but it would have cost a ton and set our schedule back to grind down the glue left from the previous flooring. Just having the hard floor surfaces in the two areas where we were concerned about it getting messy does not affect the sound.

Subject: [ISLMA-Share] Flooring Question

Hi Everyone.....

I am putting this out there for my Superintendent!

I am wondering who has done the new kinds of vinyl tiles and who has done carpet....?

My administrators are concerned about the quality of sound in the space when there is no carpet.

Any one in the collective library hive have any feedback for me?  Everywhere I have been there has been carpet, but we are putting in a student coffee bar and makerspace so leaning away from the carpet for the obvious reasons!

Please Please...let me know what you think!

Thanks,

Dawn
