Compare Products for This Space
Review each product and confirm the specification for your project.
Public and Service Zones
Map the mall by use:
- Entrances, main routes, atriums and vertical circulation
- Seating, food areas and events
- Tenant thresholds and service corridors
- Loading connections and maintenance access
Record foot traffic, carts, cleaning machines, furniture, temporary displays, and localized wet or contaminated zones.
Tenant design guides should define finished levels, transition rules, storefront boundaries, protection responsibilities, and approval procedures. This reduces problems when shops change while the mall stays open.
High-Traffic Areas
Suitable vinyl or PVC may be assessed for selected mall and tenant zones only after construction, rolling load, indentation, traffic, cleaning, stain, slip, fire, emissions, and accessibility requirements are verified. Large areas also need batch, color, replacement, joint, and sequencing considerations confirmed with the actual product.
Confirm traffic ratings and cleaning requirements for the selected model, and agree installation and maintenance downtime with the operator.
Phased Installation
Define barriers, routes, noise and dust controls, substrate preparation, installation areas, protection, cleaning, reopening criteria, and handover documents. The operator, contractor, safety team, and selected system supplier should agree the method. Formal project planning must set any time or access commitments.

Public, Tenant, and Service Zones
Main concourses, food and amenity areas, tenant thresholds, loading routes, and phased trading create distinct traffic, cleaning, load, repair, and approval needs.
| Project type | Typical context | What to prioritize |
|---|---|---|
| Main concourse and entrances | High public traffic, tracked-in moisture, carts, luggage, events, wayfinding, and long operating hours. | Map peak flows, entrance control, rolling loads, accessibility, cleaning, acoustics, transitions, replacement zones, and night-work constraints. |
| Food, amenity, and dwell zones | Dining, seating, toilets, family areas, kiosks, and gathering points with spills, furniture, queues, and frequent cleaning. | Define spill types, cleaning chemistry, drains and wet interfaces, furniture loads, slip brief, hygiene routines, maintenance, and closures. |
| Tenant and service interfaces | Shop thresholds, service corridors, loading, carts, waste, deliveries, plant access, and recurring fit-outs. | Coordinate landlord and tenant systems, load and impact routes, fire boundaries, thresholds, protection, permits, phasing, and repair responsibility. |
Specification checklist
Continuous Operation and Controlled Repairs
Check the requirements below before selecting a product.
Zone and Ownership Map
Define landlord, tenant, public, food, amenity, loading, service, and restricted areas with approval responsibility.
People and Rolling Traffic
Record peak footfall, carts, luggage, wheelchairs, cleaning machines, deliveries, event loads, and service equipment.
Substrate and Interfaces
Survey slabs, moisture, joints, movement, thresholds, escalators, lifts, entrances, tenant edges, and adjoining systems.
Spills and Cleaning
List tracked-in water, food, oils, chemicals, waste, cleaning products, machines, frequencies, drying time, and access control.
Phasing and Repairs
Plan trading hours, night work, dust and noise, temporary routes, protection, replacement stock, closures, and future tenant changes.
Building Approvals
List fire, smoke, emissions, accessibility, slip, installation, maintenance, warranty, landlord, tenant, and statutory evidence required.

- Work phases, floor protection, spare material and document control
Planning Your Project
Project Questions
Can one product run through concourses and tenant stores?
Possibly, but each zone’s loads, cleaning, fire, accessibility, appearance, and fit-out responsibilities must be checked against the selected construction.
How should replacement material be planned?
Record the exact product, color, construction, batch information, area, storage conditions, and repair method. Confirm future availability rather than promising an exact match.
Can work be completed while the mall remains open?
It may be possible through project-specific phasing and controls. The building operator and contractor must approve access, safety, dust, noise, cure or conditioning, protection, and reopening requirements.
