NAC447.120. Floors.

     1. Every floor and every floor covering, such as carpeting, must be kept clean and in good repair so that it will not become a hazard to safety or health.

     2. The floors in areas used for washing and sanitizing tableware and in laundry areas, kitchenettes, and in areas in bathrooms and toilet rooms which are next to the tub, shower or toilet, must be constructed of smooth, durable, nonabsorbent and easily cleanable material.

     3. The floors in such areas must not be covered with carpeting. The appropriate health authority may prohibit the use of carpeting in any other area which it deems would be made unsanitary by the use of carpeting.

     4. Every concrete, tile, ceramic and vinyl floor installed in a bathroom, toilet room, laundry room or kitchenette must be coved at the junctures between the floor and the walls. All material used to cove the junctures must be fitted snugly to the floor and the walls so there are no openings large enough to permit the entrance of vermin.
