Spec note: your peers already run this lane; here is the tighter version
Malé ministries (4–6 floor blocks, 300–800 sqm/floor), Velana airport support offices, and resort back-of-house (kitchen pass, staff canteen, laundry corridor) are wet-heavy, sand-heavy, cart-heavy.
Field-tested spec
- Ministry open office: Tefloor SPC 6.0 mm 0.7 mm wear — survives monsoon tracking, click-lock over old ceramic.
- Airport island container office: LVT 3.0 mm loose-lay (no glue, reusable when office relocated).
- Resort BOH corridor: PVC sheet 2.5 mm with 0.7 mm wear + R10 — hosed daily.
- Resort staff dorm: PP carpet tile 500×500 bitumen/PVC back — cheapest refresh cycle, 6.9–9.9 USD/sqm.
Logistics tip
Male has no fork-lift culture at small docks — ask Tefloor to carton max 22 kg, pallet shrink-wrapped, 20GP to Colombo then feeder barge. Breakage claim rate drops from ~4% to <1%.
