Standards for Finishes and Colors

• Finishes
• A variety of materials and products are used
  in retail situations. The following are the ones
  cover by codes and standards
• Ceiling Finishes
• Plaster, sheet rock (gypsum wall board)
  acoustical tile, metal ceiling system.

• Floor Finishes
• Wood flooring can be strip, plank, block, solid
  end grain block flooring.
• Stone
• Terrazzo
• Resilient Vinyl, rubber, cork
• Carpet
• Laminated glass

25
Standards for Finishes and Colors

• Wall Finishes
• Plaster, paint, wallpaper, vinyl, fabrics, stone,
  gypsum wall boards, acoustic panels, brick, and
  glass block.

• Other Materials
• Metals satin finish aluminum, raw steel, copper
• Woods natural maple, zebra wood, black walnut
• Glass sandblasted, safety, textures and stain.
• Fabrics fire resistant and maintenance free
  fabrics.
• Misc. Cork, leather floor tiles, all types of
  stones.

26
Standards for Finishes and Colors

• Studies have shown that blue stands out more for
  men than women. Yellow is preferred over orange
  by women and men prefer orange more than yellow.
• Women are more color conscious and their color
  taste is more flexible. Women prefer soft colors
  while men prefer bright colors.
• Providing both color and luminance contrast can
  maximize residual vision and thus wayfinding
  ability for visually impaired people.

27
Standards for Finishes and Colors

• Warm colors (we believe)
• Red attracts attention to safety features.
• Orange reduces feeling of hostility.
• Yellow emits a feeling of sunshine.
• Cool Colors (we believe)
• Violet adds elegance to an interior.
• Blue and Green appear restful and can be
  calming.
• Neutral colors
• Brown - tans grays, black white serve as a
  background for things and activities.

28
Standards for Finishes and Colors

• New Color Palette for 2002
• Based on the research done by The Color Marketing
  Group the new color palette for 2002 includes the
  following
• Blue maintains its position at most important
  color of the decade.
• Orange will be seen as the hue of optimism and
  all age groups will find it popular. (go gators)
• A Latin theme is present, as well as influences
  from Morocco and Italy this includes lively red,
  oranges and yellows.

29
Standards for Finishes and Colors

• Wall color in retail stores
• Large walls that serve as backdrops to
  merchandise are usually neutrals.
• When a color is used as a backdrop, it should not
  conflict with the colors of the merchandise.
• Bright colors in large proportions are often
  associated with discount and fast food stores.

30
Standards for Lighting and Acoustics

• Lighting
• In a retail store each area has a different
  requirement of illumination.
• The level of luminance is measured in foot
  candles. A foot candle is the amount of direct
  light thrown by one candle on a surface one foot
  away.
• General lighting 40-25
• Accent lighting 150-250
• Fitting rooms 50-70
• Wall lighting 30-100
• Offices 60-70
• Stock rooms 20-30

31
Standards for Lighting and Acoustics

• Main areas of lighting in a retail store
• General lighting
• Perimeter lighting
• Interior wall lighting
• Visual merchandising lighting(track lighting)
• Emergency lighting
• All above areas can be illuminated by using
  incandescent, fluorescent and halogen lamps.
  Selection of lamps should be based upon color
  rendition if the overall appearance of the
  merchandise is to be enhanced. Therefore, halogen
  lamps should be preferred over fluorescent lamps
  (cool white).

32
Standards for Lighting and Acoustics

• Emergency lighting
• Battery operated lighting should be activated by
  a power failure.
• Local codes dictate the amount of emergency
  lighting needed.
• Signs must be installed at the door of all exit
  passage ways, and horizontal exits on every door.
  They must also be installed at all exterior exit
  doors and any door exiting a space or area where
  the direction of the egress is unclear.
• When placing exit signs the most common
  requirement is that the point of exit can be no
  more than a 100 ft. from the visible sign.
• Exit lights are placed at all entrances/exists
  and stairwells, these lights are constantly
  illuminated.

33
Standards for Lighting and Acoustics

• Acoustics is the science of sound. Sound
  interpretation dictates the quality of
  communication within rooms.
• Acoustic codes
• The selection of finishes and other construction
  components should be based in accordance to their
  acoustical qualities.

34
Standards for Lighting and Acoustics

• There are 2 main ratings
• Sound Transmission class (STC)
• Takes into account the amount of sound loss
  through solid barriers such as partitions and
  floors. The higher the STC number the better the
  barrier is in stopping sound.
• Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC)
• It is a materials absorption coefficient rounded
  to nearest multiple of .05. The higher the NRC
  number the better the barrier is in absorbing
  sound.

35
Storage

• A covered space that allows a minimum of 12 golf
  carts to be stored should be placed adjacent or
  in the immediate vicinity of the shop. The
  dimensions to a golf cart are typically 110" Long
  x 48" Wide. Thus, we suggest a minimum square
  footage for storage of the golf carts should be
  approximately 632 sq. ft. in an outdoor covered
  area.

36
Assistive Technology (retail)

• Dressing Stick Essential for anyone who has
  difficulty bending, a limited range of movement,
  or the use of only one arm or hand. assists in
  putting on shirts and jackets, pulling up slacks
  or skirts, removing socks, zippers, and even
  shoe laces.

Shoe remover/Shoe horn This versatile tool helps
the user put on and remove shoes and boots
without the strain of bending or reaching. The
shoehorn end is also useful for pulling socks off
and scraping dirt from boots.
37
Assistive Technology (retail) contd
Reacher Adjustable supports for left or right
hand
Easy-Grip Reacher Extends the users hand by a
foot. Ideal for reaching cards or hard to grip
objects or papers
Omni-Grip
Four position jaw adjustment and jaw rotation
with lockable jaws and wrist support
38
Assistive Technology (retail) contd
Standing-Sitting Turntable Rotating pivot
disk makes standing or patient transfer easy and
safe. The flexible design allows the user to sit
on the device and turn on a bed or chair.. A
rubber disk on the bottom provides a non-skid
surface while the top plastic disk slides against
a fabric center. The turning disk provides a
smooth, controlled motion, that makes the user
feet secure.

• Folding Carry-all Bag with Wheels
• Closed it looks like a tote bag, open it is
  a roomy shopping bag on wheels. Meets all
  shopping needs

39
Assistive Technology (bank)
Arthwriter Writing Ball helps people with hand or
finger disabilities to eat, write, groom, and
perform other daily activities. Particularly
beneficial for anyone with arthritis, missing
fingers, or an arm in a cast.
Writing guide Has a frame to hold your checks in
place while you are writing
RinG-Pen
Takes most of the "shake" and muscle pain out of
handling a pen. One finger through the ring
creates a solid grip and the ergonomically
designed barrel provides a natural resting place
for the writing finger. Barrel fits snuggly
between two other fingers. No pressure, no pain.
40
Assistive Technology (golf)
The use of a golf cart as means of transportation
is fast becoming a popular one in the elderly
community. At Sun City Center, 30 miles south of
Tampa, 15,000 residents are only a short ride
from the community grocery store, banks, beauty
parlor, and health-care facilities, in addition
to the club house, swimming pools, tennis courts,
and golf courses.
The Golf Cart
There are other attractions as well. For some
elderly drivers, golf carts are a safer
transportation option. It allows them to maintain
their freedom and get out and about without
having to drive a car at high speeds or deal with
heavy traffic. Many seniors simply feel more
comfortable behind the wheel of a slow-moving,
easy-to-maneuver golf cart.
41
Assistive Technology contd (golf)

The NEV (Neighborhood Electrical Vehicle) Unlike
most golf carts, the NEV is equipped with seat
belts, head and tail lights, directional signals,
a shatter-proof windshield, and roll bars. Under
current laws in most states, it is up to local
governments to regulate the movement of golf
carts and similar slow-moving vehicles. Most
private carts in use are restricted to retirement
communities or gated neighborhoods. Yet some
safety experts, including the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), are
concerned that the line between cars and carts
may be blurred as more people buy golf carts and
they begin straying out onto public roads.
