[200William-EC] FW: Phone call re water damage on level G

[Diana Dennison]

Hi All,

I only suggested the coir because it would clean the soles of shoes
more effectively than carpet, and as the carpet (or coir) is recessed
into the floor, would be flush with the tiles. Extended door mats in
large buildings really reduce the amount of dirt etc that needs to be
swept up in lobbies. I feel sure it would work for us.
