Aimed at designers, specifiers and facilities managers, it offers practical guidance for the specification and inclusive design of floor finishes with reference to the relevant legislation, building regulations and standards, as well as operation and maintenance issues. The design guidance is supported bycase study examples that demonstrate the different issues, types of floor finish and good practice solutions for different situations.
