Disability Friendly Surfaces

Wheel Chair Users
The most effective flooring for a wheel chair user is one that is smooth, even and hard.
Soft surfaces such as carpet can make wheel chair travel difficult as more effort is required to move across the surface.
This makes laminate the ideal alternative as it looks like real wood and ceramics, just with considerably less expense.

Walker and Cane Users
People who use walkers and canes need a slip resistant surface.
LVT is ideal as it has an amount of shock absorbency (which can help cushion falls) and offers enough slip resistance to prevent feet or canes from sliding.
