Floor materials

Flooring materials can create easier or more difficult conditions for people with disability. Deep carpets make using a wheelchair more difficult, as do cobbled surfaces or even rough surfaces over longer distances. Flooring material can also create an acoustic and tactile path that assists people who are blind or have low vision to stay on path and navigate more effectively. All floors should be non-slip in wet or dry conditions.
