Hi Michele,

One thing you might want to consider is that printed flooring can be very difficult for navigation by people with vision loss and some brain-based disabilities. The flooring can create optical illusions other than the ones you're planning — light colors rise, dark recede, some look like the floor is slippery — people are unsure where it is safe to step. It's a good idea if you choose to use printed flooring that you provide a path of travel that doesn't require walking over the design. 

Just a thought.

Hi everyone -

 

We are considering using permanent printed flooring treatments in our new history museum space. Ideas include a large map on the floor, floor that looks like grass, dirt or a construction site.

 

Does anyone have experience with these? Do you like them? Do visitors comment on them? How’s the wear?

 

Thank you and happy holidays!
