I didn't really make it clear in that last post, but I am hoping for some comments on what kind of, if any, flooring works for someone who is blind? Both in terms of mobility and maintenance. I know my preference is for hard surfaces with occasional throw rugs as landmarks. Though I do not know if this has anything to do with my blindness, as this is the kind of look that appealed to me as a sighted person too. Though then the area carpet was more for aesthetics.

So if all goes well, I will be buying a house shortly. I am sure hoping you guys will have some help for me on a flooring question. I really like hard wood floors. Not just the look, but the sound and feel of walking on them. I think these are considered raised floors. How do I know what is under the carpet? I am looking at houses that were generally built in the 60's and 70's. I had always known I liked those kind of floors, but had not really thought about why until visiting the home of someone with a blind child who had built her house with those kind of floors because she had been told they will be helpful to him.
