in Chapter 4. A list of approved furnishings for each space is also located there.

Flooring
3-6.1.2.1 Vinyl composition tile (VCT) is the preferred flooring in most 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, \ carpet tiles /2/ is the
normal option. \Carpet tiles /2/ aids in noise reduction and reduces fatigue when
standing for long periods. Fiber, construction, and cleanability must be considered in
selection of carpet \tiles/2/. Carpet 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.
