Outline for the session Review interior finishes What to consider Some product examples Commentary Few examples Attendee input Thoughts & Suggestions Discuss, develop and update design guidelines to have a comprehensive understanding of the institution s expectations of the interiors and the life cycle of finishes. Make sure everyone is on the same page. The goal should always be to maximize the space including the finishes we all deal with utilization rates. Verify architectural specifications note, if manufacturer warranty is more stringent it supersedes the architect specification. Products and manufacturers are suggestions, there are many options, few are mentioned. Each institution and situation needs to be evaluated on an individual basis to determine the best solution.

Dynamic coefficient of friction is just the measurement how easily one surface slides and keeps sliding against another under different circumstances, such as if there is a liquid on the surface. Suggest designing to this standard in all applications, not just wet. Always consider carefully the application as wells as an exterior environmental factors for your region. 11
Floors Porcelain Look for tiles with rectified edges. A tile that has been rectified has had all its edges mechanically finished in order to achieve a more precise facial dimension. Larger tile size (i.e., greater than 15" or 16" in any direction) and minimal grout lines, makes for an almost seamless look (3mm or less) Very fine bevel around their top edge, reduces the chance of edges chipping Slight difference where tiles aren't exactly even with one another is called 'lippage' Tile Council of North America (TCNA ) recommends no more than 1/3 offset on tiles 16 or larger to minimize lippage and tripping hazard Floors Porcelain TEC Powder grout an equal to epoxy grout without the cost of epoxy. http://www.tecpowergrout.com/public/downloads/pds/power Grout Data Sheet 060412.pdf Highly stain resistant Color accurate Resistant to efflorescence Crack and shrink resistance Mold and mildew resistant ** Never use No Rinse cleaners they eat away at the grout and there is no way to reverse this chemical process once it s begun. May take years, but definitely will shorten the life of the installation and can be avoided. 12
Floors Porcelain Schulter Edges https://www.schluter.com/schluter us/en_us/profiles/for Walls/c/P FW Superior edge protection to tiled walls Add the perfect finishing touch to tiled walls as they conceal and protect exposed tile edges and eliminate the need for unsightly caulking Assortment of available accessories, including end caps and corners, eliminate the need for mitering, expedite installation time, and provide a nice, clean finish. Large variety of options, inside or outside corners, different degree corners, track for accent tiles. Not only highly functional they are also providing decorative elements in cove base and accent decorative boarders. Much, much cleaner look, reduce installation costs as the corners are the area that take more time and end up looking the least attractive. Uniformity in the tiles and limited lipping which leads to minimal chipping and increased life of the install Floors Carpet Verify slab moisture content is within specification range prior to install. Manufacturers are coming out more variety in sizes and shapes planks (9x36 and 12x48), hexagons, rectangles, diamonds and others Pattern and color of tile take into consideration local soil colors and other environmental factors. Recycled yarn may get LEED points, however hard to know the fiber content and therefore the true life of the product. Plan to use in areas that have a 5 year or less life cycle. Make sure the installers roll the carpet tiles at the end of the installation. 13
