CARPETS BEST FOR YOUNG SCHOOL CHILDREN?
11 November 2012
Carpeting is the surface that teachers, children and parents believe is best for preschools.
That was one finding in a University of Georgia survey of 1,000 preschool administrators and teachers, according to the Carpet and Rug Institute. Carpet was favored over hardwood, tile and vinyl/linoleum, but it also had undesirable characteristics.
Carpet scored highest on noise control and comfort, and was perceived as preventing injuries from falls and allowing for flexibility. But carpet also scored lowest on ease of cleaning, and respondents perceived it as requiring constant maintenance and contributing to allergic reactions.
This is one reason why Flotex is so popular in UK schools, its's easy to clean and the only carpet to have been awarded the Allergy Councils "Seal of Approval" for its anti allergy properties.
