Premises types: what the building itself demands
The building dictates the method as much as the surface does — access, occupancy and risk all change the plan.
A carpet tile in an open-plan office and the same tile in a shopping-centre mall get completely different treatment, because the constraint is not the tile. It is the occupancy, the access window and what happens if a floor is still damp at opening.
