How to show you are complying#

Each home must have floor surfaces that are safe, durable, easy to clean. 

A thoughtful mix of surfaces can help the spaces used stay suitable for a wide range of activities.

Here are some examples: 

• carpet works well in quiet areas like reading or block play
• mats are easy to move and clean. Use items such as semi-permanent tape or rug grips to keep them safely in place
• hard surfaces like wood, vinyl, tiles, or polished concrete are ideal for messy play and dining spaces.
