"The carpet tiles impressed me with the 1200 x 600 format and the blue flashes are reminiscent of car headlights flashing onto the surface. The blue is a restful colour suitable for the church surroundings - it worked with the pre-cast concrete colour and the upholstery chosen for the chairs. The effect on the floor is of a dynamic movement working with the flow of people through the entry toward the auditorium. A practical, easy to care for colour selection.
