FLOORING MATERIALS
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Selection of the type of flooring to be used
should be based on the appropriate project design
requirements, availability, and relative cost. The
method of specifying the pattern is optional, but
the "file sample" is recommended for projects for
which the design is sensitive.
Acrylic impregnated hardwood floors are recommended
for commercial type facilities. Prefinished
urethane and stain/wax prefinishes are normally for
residential or light commercial usage.
Choice of critical radiant flux level as it applies
to building type and area of application will be
made in accordance with the latest edition of
MIL-HDBK 1008B or NFPA 101. Wherever the use of
Class II (0.22 watts) finish is required, Class I
(0.45 watts) will be permitted.
Critical radiant flux will be a minimum average of
0.45 watts when used in corridors in bachelor
enlisted quarters, bachelor officer quarters,
hospital, child care centers, temporary lodging
facilities, and new construction detention and
correctional facilities. Generally the critical
radiant flux will be a minimum of 0.22 for corridors
of other type facilities. Where an approved
automatic sprinkler system is installed, Class II
interior floor finish may be used where Class I
floor finish is required, and where Class II is
required, no critical radiant flux rating is
required. Omit sentence if not applicable.
