Matting with tight slippery naps should evidently be avoided in flooring. Variation
in the floor level of travel paths makes it easier for the blind and visually impaired to
detect, identify and locate the various library spaces. A number of factors including
washable matting and their appropriateness and taking into consideration indoor climatic conditions (heating and cooling),should also be considered in selecting flooring
material and diversifying the library floor in a methodical way. It is therefore advisable
that a well-planned objective design should be followed when planning a library floor
layout for the blind and visually impaired.
