FLOORS, STAIRS, LIFTS & WAYFINDING

摘要

Products such as sheet flooring, carpeting and terrazzo have a big impact on CO_2 emissions and many are recyclable as well as containing recycled materials. They may also present hygiene risks and a practical approach to specification increases product life by ensuring surfaces and colours are suitable for their locations. Good design, specification, manufacturing and installation also minimise waste on site. Consult Environmental Product Declarations and other certification to ascertain what you may be specifying. Staircases and ramps provide energy-free vertical circulation and promote well-being, but where lifts, escalators, travelators and people movers are unavoidable, your choice of product and specification profile will have a big impact on environmental performance.
