industrial/Communal flooring solution required.
Discussion
Our landlord (local authority) wants to refurbish our ‘communal landing’, another fellow tenant is keen that they don’t spend a fortune on a useless replacement. As you can see, the non-contributing caretaking has chosen the deluxe option. The current stairs and landing flooring is some kind of black, thick paint/smooth asphalt type compound that apart from becoming slightly greasy when wet, has worn extremely well for 30 years. Below is an extract of an email sent to me by this fellow tenant, wondering if there are alternative, economical solutions to the problem.
Does anyone here have any experience of industrial/communal flooring?

…On that note there is still a bit of debate about what to put on the stairs/floor. The caretakers say tiles - I disagree with this because I think it won't look good and will eventually crack and the grout will get filthy. Also laying them in a space with curves and the treads and risers of the stairs will look crap. They mentioned linoleum - I think this might work however at the moment I would prefer if they just did some power cleaning and with the new doors and painting the place will look fine (and still be as easy to clean).

Any ideas?
