[ISLMA-Share] Flooring Question

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

We went half carpet and half tile last summer, and it's been great so far. A student built acoustic panels that help with the noise, but really there has been little difference in the sound levels. The high traffic areas are tile, and the instructional space and around the stacks are carpet squares. The pattern helps break up the room, and the design has added a more contemporary vibe. We even had the school's logo embedded in the tile right as one walks in. We couldn't be happier.


Hope this helps!

I have been at both an elementary and a middle school with tile and it has worked well in both places.  Yes, the noise level is a little higher, but the ease of cleaning and the lack of mold (why the carpeting was removed in my elementary school) is great!
