ABOUT HOME FLOORING

• Flooring is the general term for a permanent
  covering of a floor, or for the work of
  installing such a floor covering. Floor covering
  is a term to generically describe any finish
  material applied over a floor structure to
  provide a walking surface. Both terms are used
  interchangeably but floor covering refers more to
  loose-laid materials. Materials almost always
  classified as flooring include carpet, laminate,
  tile and vinyl.

3
SUBFLOOR

• The floor under the flooring is called
  the subfloor, which provides the support for the
  flooring. Special purpose subfloors like floating
  floors, raised floors or sprung floors may be
  laid upon another underlying subfloor which
  provides the structural strength. Subfloors that
  are below grade (underground) or ground level
  floors in buildings without basements typically
  have a cement subfloor. Subfloors above grade
  (above ground) typically have a plywood subfloor.

4
FLOORING MATERIAL

• The choice of material for floor covering is
  affected by factors such as cost, endurance,
  noise insulation, comfort and cleaning effort.
  Some types of flooring must not be installed
  below grade, including laminate and hardwood due
  to potential damage from moisture. The sub-floor
  may be finished in a way that makes it usable
  without any extra work, see
• Earthen floor adobe or clay floors.
• Solid ground floor, cementitious
  levelling/wearing/granolithic screeds,
  polymer-modified concretes and levelling/wearing
  screeds.

5
CARPETING

• Carpet is a soft floor covering made of bound
  carpet fibers or stapled fibers. Carpeting refers
  to wall-to-wall coverage, whereas a rug is simply
  used to cover a space. This type of flooring is
  typically used indoors and can be used in both
  high and low traffic areas. It typically lasts
  for 15-18 years before it needs to be replaced.
  The quality of a carpet is usually measured in
  face weight, or how many fibers there are per
  square inch. The higher the face weight the more
  plush a carpet will feel.

6
WOOD FLOORING

• Many different species of wood are fabricated
  into wood flooring in two primary forms plank
  and parquet. Hardwoods are typically much more
  durable than softwoods. Reclaimed lumber has a
  unique appearance and is used in green
  (environmentally responsible) building.
  Engineered hardwood has a thin solid wood layer
  on top with a composite core. It can be a less
  expensive option than buying hardwood, but it
  cannot be sanded and refinished. This flooring
  typically is installed with a click-lock method.

7
LAMINATE FLOORING

• Laminate is a floor covering that appears similar
  to hardwood but is made with a plywood or medium
  density fiberboard ("MDF") core with a plastic
  laminate top layer. HDF laminate consists of high
  density fiberboard topped by one or more layers
  of decorative paper and a transparent protective
  layer. Laminate may be more durable than
  hardwood, but cannot be refinished like hardwood.
  Laminate flooring is available in many different
  patterns which can resemble different woods or
  even ceramic tile. It usually locks or taps
  together. Underlayment is required for laminate
  flooring to provide moisture and noise control.

8
HARD FLOORING

• Hard flooring (not to be confused with
  "hardwood") is a family of flooring materials
  that includes concrete or cement, ceramic tile,
  glass tiles, and natural stone products. Ceramic
  tile are clay products which are formed into thin
  tiles and fired. Ceramic tiles are set in beds of
  mortar or mastic with the joints between tiles
  grouted. Varieties of ceramic tiles include
  quarry tile, porcelain, terracotta.

9
RESILIENT FLOORING

• Unlike tiles which are made of minerals,
  resilient flooring is made of materials that have
  some elasticity, giving the flooring a degree of
  flexibility called resilience. The flooring is
  available in large sheets or pre-cut tiles, and
  either comes with pre-applied adhesive for
  peel-and-stick installation or requires adhesive
  to be troweled on to the substrate. Resilient
  flooring includes many different manufactured
  products including linoleum, sheet vinyl, vinyl
  composition tile (VCT), cork (sheet or tile), and
  rubber. Performance surfaces used for dance or
  athletics are usually made of wood or resilient
  flooring.

10
SEAMLESS POLYMER FLOORING

• Many different seamless flooring materials are
  available that vary from air drying latex
  emulsion polymers to reactive thermoset resins
  such as waterborne, sol vented or solvent-free
  urethanes, polyaspartics and epoxies. Applied in
  liquid form, all dry and/or cure to provide a
  completely seamless floor covering.

11
SUSTAINABLE FLOORING

• Sustainable flooring is produced from sustainable
  materials (and by a sustainable process) that
  reduces demands on ecosystems during its
  life-cycle. This includes harvest, production,
  use and disposal. It is thought that sustainable
  flooring creates safer and healthier buildings
  and guarantees a future for traditional producers
  of renewable resources that many communities
  depend on. Several initiatives have led the
  charge to bring awareness of sustainable flooring
  as well as healthy buildings (air quality).

12
VINYL COMPOSITION TILE

• Vinyl composition tile (VCT) is a finished
  flooring material used primarily in commercial
  and institutional applications. Modern vinyl
  floor tiles and sheet flooring and versions of
  those products sold since the early 1980s are
  composed of colored polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
  chips formed into solid sheets of varying
  thicknesses (1/8" is most common) by heat and
  pressure. Floor tiles are cut into modular shapes
  such 12" x 12" squares or 12" x 24" rectangles.
  In installation the floor tiles or sheet flooring
  are applied to a smooth, leveled sub-floor using
  a specially formulated vinyl adhesive or tile
  mastic that remains pliable. In commercial
  applications some tiles are typically waxed and
  buffed using special materials and equipment.

13
FLOOR TILES

• A tile is a manufactured piece of hard-wearing
  material such as ceramic, stone, metal, or even
  glass, generally used for covering roofs, floors,
  walls, showers, or other objects such as
  tabletops. Alternatively, tile can sometimes
  refer to similar units made from lightweight
  materials such as perlite, wood, and mineral
  wool, typically used for wall and ceiling
  applications. In another sense, a tile is a
  construction tile or similar object, such as
  rectangular counters used in playing games (see
  tile-based game). The word is derived from the
  French word tuile, which is, in turn, from the
  Latin word tegula, meaning a roof tile composed
  of fired clay.
