We are redoing the flooring in our lobby area. A designer we brought in suggested using a vinyl product that has good sound absorption rating. I have never seen anything except carpet used for theatre lobbies and would need to be convinced that not only the impact sound of walking, but also the ambient sound would absorb as well as with getting new carpet or carpet tile. Obviously hard type of flooring would have some easier maintenance.
I don't have a great picture handy, but we have a lower lobby about 62 feet long and 16 feet wide where we have seating/box office... and an upper lobby that is oval (42x18)and has the concession and doors to the auditorium. Doing the lower lobby in a hard surface makes sense, but I would be interested if anyone is using a hard surface in their lobby right near the doors.
It is also a 1938 era Art Deco theatre and the photos right from the opening have carpet in the upper lobby and what we think is a surface called "battleship linoleum on the lower lobby with a tiled walkway.
Thoughts?
