Consider:

What reused materials are available for flooring?
  • Brick
  • Slate
  • Wood flooring

How much, if any, additional labor will be involved in installing a reused product? 

Will special finishes be required to enhance durability?

Taking a long-term view:

How can the flooring specified for this job be reused if it outlives its usefulness here or if it wears unevenly? Can the flooring be zoned to facilitate replacement of only the worn traffic areas?

Can this flooring be refinished in place to extend its useful life?

Can the installation stand up to the rigors of normal use, but be planned to allow disassembly and reuse elsewhere at a future date? Can removable fasteners be used?
