Social Distancing Flooring

Social distancing flooring is not a specific type of flooring but rather a concept that emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic to promote physical distancing in public spaces. The idea behind social distancing flooring is to provide visual cues or markers on the floor to help individuals maintain a safe distance from each other.

Various types of flooring materials can be used to create social distancing markers, including vinyl floor decals, adhesive tapes, or colored tiles. These markers are typically placed at regular intervals, such as 6 feet (or 2 meters) apart, to indicate the recommended distance for physical distancing.

Social distancing flooring can be particularly useful in crowded areas like retail stores, supermarkets, airports, waiting areas, and other public spaces where maintaining physical distance may be challenging. By providing clear visual indicators, it helps individuals gauge the appropriate spacing and avoid close contact with others.

It's important to note that social distancing flooring alone is not sufficient to prevent the spread of diseases. It should be used in conjunction with other preventive measures such as wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and following local health guidelines.

As the COVID-19 situation evolves and vaccination rates increase, the necessity for social distancing measures may change. It's recommended to follow the guidelines and recommendations provided by health authorities and local governments for the most up-to-date information on public health measures.

Installing social distancing flooring involves the placement of visual markers or indicators on the floor to promote and maintain physical distancing. If you would like to find out more, get in touch today with one of our specialists.
