We are searching for the perfect floor covering for the area between =
the front door and the circulation desk at our Springboro Branch. =
Being a smaller library, maintenance is a big concern. We don't have =
the big scrubbing machine and wet-dry vac that is needed to keep ceramic =
tile grout clean and nice looking. Walk-off carpet is ugly, and =
regular carpet gets very stained and wears quickly. Vinyl doesn't have =
the more formal look that we want, and it needs to be waxed and shows =
scuff marks. We even looked at rubber floors at a local hospital, which =
do not need to be waxed. Unfortunately, the rubber floors look like the =
vinyl, or like what you'd expect in an emergency room. =20
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
