This CPD focuses on the topic of acoustic flooring for shared spaces including student accommodation, office buildings, education, hotels, retirement villages, hospitality and leisure, healthcare, retail and housing. Through this CPD, specifiers, architects and interior designers can understand the features of acoustic LVT flooring and the related design and specification considerations. By the end of the presentation you should have a greater understanding of:- The importance of acoustic design in architecture for health and wellbeing- Why acoustic LVT flooring is the optimum choice in multi-occupancy properties and product options- Acoustic standards and what they measure- Installation key points- Specification considerationsThis CPD can be delivered to you live and remotely

This CPD focuses on how effective use of luxury vinyl tile (LVT) can help transform an ordinary area into an inspiring design space. It covers the different designs that can be created by exploring the wealth of laying patterns available, as well as the impact of zoning, and how to incorporate use of LVT into commercial schemes. Referencing product specification, appearance, and specific considerations such as sustainability and performance, it also covers how LVT can be a practical, problem-solving solution.By the end of this CPD delegates should:1. Understand the features and benefits of luxury vinyl tile (LVT).2. Know how to use laying patterns.3. Know how to create bespoke designs.4. Know how to use zoning, wayfinding and breakout areas.5. Understand design considerations and how to meet regulations.

This CPD focuses on effectively designing for neurodiversity in commercial environments – and how LVT (luxury vinyl tiles) can help from a flooring perspective. It covers the topic of neurodiversity, the design issues this creates and how these can be addressed in commercial environments – alongside relevant legislation and best practice guidelines.By the end of the CPD you should have a greater understanding of:- Neurodiversity and different neurodivergent conditions.- Design issues associated with the above.- Designing for commercial environments.- The role of LVT in neurodiverse commercial environments.- The best practice guidelines regarding all of the above.

This CPD covers the impact of aging and dementia, the context, the symptoms and impairments, design related problems in relation to flooring, inclusive design principles. Colour and the ageing eye, colour and contrast.By the end of the CPD you should have a greater understanding of: - What dementia is- Demetia related issues- What design features may contribute to tackling dementia issues- What are the dementia friendly design principles?- What to consider in dementia friendly flooring design?

This CPD article will focus on the key factors to consider when specifying and designing luxury vinyl tile (LVT) flooring for use with people with dementia. Topics covered include differentiating between flooring and critical surfaces, acoustics and reducing impact sound, avoiding sensory overload, and Health and Safety credentials. By the end of the CPD you should have a greater understanding of: The need for continuous flooring surfaces The difference between flooring and critical surfaces The different types of LVT and where to specifyHow to identify suitable colours, designs and finishes for dementia-friendly schemesWhat Health and Safety considerations should be addressed

Given that different areas of buildings (particularly high traffic environments) can require different levels of flooring performance, this CPD module fully explains slip resistance – and how LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tiles) can play its part in preventing falls (and potential injury). The module includes: an introduction to the concept; the dangers of slips and trips; understanding slip resistance and LVT; the tests for slip resistance; key considerations and regulations; the importance of aesthetics; and examples of slip-resistant LVT in action.

Given that there are many types of flooring available, it is imperative to select the option that meets all necessary legislative requirements, while also ensuring it has a big visual impact on the indoor environment. Bearing these factors in mind, this CPD module fully explains the benefits of specifying luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) in commercial environments. The module includes: a look at the properties and benefits of a multi-performance system; how LVT is manufactured; why LVT is suitable for commercial specification; technical benefits of LVT (vs other types of flooring); how to install and maintain LVT; technical standards; and sector specific features and benefits.By the end of this CPD seminar, delegate ought to:1. Understand the properties and benefits of LVT as a multi-performance system.2. Have learnt how LVT is manufactured and why it is suitable for commercial specification.3. Understand the technical benefits of LVT versus other types of flooring.4. Know how to install and maintain LVT.5. Understand the features and benefits of LVT in relation to specific sectors (e.g Office, Retail, H&L, Education).

This CPD module is specifically designed to provide a comprehensive overview of Light Reflectance Value and the role it plays when specifying LRV (Luxury Vinyl Tiles). This includes: an introduction to the concept; the emotional side of LRV and how it affects mood and wellbeing; the technical aspects of LRV and related regulations; and the link between LRV and LVT.By the end of the CPD you should have a greater understanding of: - Light Reflectance Value (LRV) defined and why Lux values matter- How LRV can affect mood and emotional wellbeing and the importance of contrast in design- LRV in commercial design and regulatory contexts- The link between LRV and luxury vinyl tile flooring- Real life sector specific case studies of LRV and LVT in action
