FLOORING
Office flooring is subjected to more
wear and tear than any other surface
in the room, and it is therefore
imperative that it be hardy and
resilient.
- Flooring materials vary greatly.
Hard flooring, such as stone,
granite , marble , kola , etc. Wood,
cement, terrazzo, ceramic tiles, are
usually noisier
- Soft coverings such as vinyl or
carpeting, but they are hardier.
- Choice of flooring material will
depend on the function of a given
area and its requirements where
durability, appearance, cost and
maintenance are concerned.
- Flooring can be used as a design
tool not only in an obvious choice
of material and color , but to
demarcate departments ,
private/public areas and circulation
paths , by a selective use of
different hues and surfaces.

STORAGE
While providing enough storage the
emphasis today should be on
eliminating unnecessary garbage.
- The basic storage units such as
the cupboards, filing cabinets,
drawer unit , open shelf , are still
as useful as ever , whether they are
free standing or built into walls ,
or used in lieu of the partitions to
save space.
- In addition we have certain new
innovations such as filing shelves
which move on tracks and which
completely fill a given space.
- Furniture too can be designed to
save space, using the space above
and below work tops. |
