Tile under desks and raised floors. Lift one for the floor box, drop it back.

Carpet that takes the traffic, and the repair.
Broadloom where the room should read as one surface: corridors, function rooms and auditoria, laid as a single floor with the seams planned off the drawing. Where a floor has to be repaired a square at a time, see carpet tiles.
Where it goes
Where carpet is specified.
Acoustics, warmth, and a floor that can be repaired in patches.
Education
Libraries and quiet rooms, where the floor is doing acoustic work.
Hospitality
Corridors and function rooms. Patterned broadloom reads as one surface.
Auditoria
Raked floors and stepped aisles, cut and fitted to the tread.
The discipline
Broadloom is one floor, so the seams are the job.
Broadloom gives a calmer surface with no grid, which is why it is specified for corridors and function rooms where the room should read as one piece.
The trade-off is repair: a damaged area means a seam, so seams are planned off the drawing and kept out of the light and the main walking line. We will advise which the room requires.
- Seam placement planned off the drawing
- Installed to the light, so the pile reads as one floor
- Thresholds and floor boxes detailed, not trimmed round
