The Best Flooring to Fit RIBA Corridor Design Guidance
A look at how rubber flooring rolls by Artigo x Chroma fit RIBA Corridor Design Guidance perfectly
When designing circulation areas, long spaces, corridors and communal walkways, RIBA’s Inclusive Design Overlay and supporting UK guidance emphasise that corridors should not only meet minimum accessibility widths but feel spacious, safe and durable. The London Design Guide recommends a minimum 1.2 m width, with 1.5 m+ preferred for comfortable two-way movement— especially in education, healthcare and R&D buildings. That’s where Artigo’s 1.9 m wide hard-wearing flooring rolls deliver the perfect fit whilst other similar products fall short with widths of only 1.2m.
Aligning beautifully with RIBA’s preferred corridor widths means fewer seams, a cleaner aesthetic, and faster installation — particularly valuable in long-run circulation zones. With their continuous surface and slip-resistant finish, Artigo rubber rolls ensure that movement spaces remain inclusive, safe and easy to maintain.
Architects and designers increasingly seek the best hard-wearing flooring that also supports sustainable design frameworks. Artigo Rubber flooring is manufactured using natural rubber blends with low VOC emissions, fully certified EPDs and outstanding durability — making it one of the best flooring options for corridors in public and commercial buildings. Its high resilience protects against footfall wear, wheeled traffic, and heavy use while maintaining colour and texture integrity over time.
For specifiers working under RIBA Stage 3 or 4, integrating a 1.9 m rubber flooring roll directly into corridor planning helps streamline layout coordination. The result: precise alignment with inclusive-design targets and easier compliance with Part M accessibility requirements. The material’s natural acoustic absorption also supports wellbeing targets set out in RIBA’s sustainable outcomes framework, helping reduce noise transfer between teaching or lab spaces.
In essence, Artigo’s wide, hard-wearing rubber rolls embody what RIBA advocates — practical beauty, inclusivity, and longevity. By selecting a roll width that mirrors corridor design standards, architects can create more fluid, sustainable and human-centred circulation environments.
