New carpet in T5 GF?
It may be another one of those cases where my mind is playing tricks but it seems to me there is a new carpet in T5 GF today - didn’t notice it earlier this week.
If so, the newer/deeper carpet is deadening the sound a bit more and providing a little more friction to roller cases, but it is only in parts of the lounge (so far?).
And if it’s not new, how long have I not noticed it for?

Looks like a half job, assuming the rest to be done another night. As you enter from TFW it is the far end, roughy from the original entrance to the outside terrace.

Also the PCs are gone from this area and the printer is unplugged. The room next to the champagne bar still has the PC’s
also no idea how to rotate images. I will try to fix it in the evening.

In large public spaces like the lounge it makes a huge different acoustically. Basically less noisy.
also there is a proper cleaning solutions for these carpets. I have no idea if BA or Heathrow Airport using it or not.

Would also suspect that spills are less dangerous than on a tiled floor. Although parts of the lounge are tiled in the most heavy areas around liquids.

HAL don’t have carpets in the majority of their public spaces anymore - conglomerate (or in some areas laminate) tiles are the norm these days, with laminate and wooden flooring in select areas for specific purposes.
