anti-slipp, hard wareing , quarry tiles, slate, it going to be washed and bleached a lot so keep this in mind for grouting

 

[Time's Ran Out]

Is it an internal entrance (lobby) or outside? (frostproof tile!)
Is it covered or open to the elements? (slippy when wet)
Is it steps/slope/or flat? (rounded edges)
Is there a mat and what type of floor covering do they have on the bar floor - carpet/tiles/wood? (take the wet/grit off feet)
Is it a traditional pub or Yuppie bar (slate/quarry or riven porcelain)
Is there a colour scheme to consider ? (corporate design)

Hope you can sort it all before tomorrow!

slate is always good in a pub, well having a slate is anyway!:lol:

Something sick proof, p**s proof, and soft to fall over on.

I always make sure it is wiped clean/sealed/and a coat of polish.

Is porcelain frost proof???

got a porcelain non slip tile


Is it steps/slope/or flat? (rounded edges)

its going flush with the tarmac

Is there a mat and what type of floor covering do they have on the bar floor - carpet/tiles/wood? (take the wet/grit off feet)

nothing just the old tiles no covering

Is it a traditional pub or Yuppie bar (slate/quarry or riven porcelain)

its a normal pub/eatery


Is there a colour scheme to consider ? (corporate design)

no specified colour scheme

Hope you can sort it all before tomorrow!
