A floor in building construction is a leveled surface which can support the
objects, passengers etc. Different flooring types are there based on
different factors.
There are various types of flooring materials used in building
construction and their selection depends on the choice of user ,aesthetics
and the applications that provides the most satisfying results for
objective, either it may be economically or durability wise.
1.2 Types of Floor finishes
a. Hard Flooring (durable, noisy, more expensive)
Cement or lime concrete

Brick
Ceramic Tile
Wood
Glass
b. Resilient Flooring (durable, good acoustics, easy to maintain)
Sheet Vinyl (plastic)
Cork
Rubber

1.2.1 Cement Concrete Flooring Material in Buildings
Concrete is most commonly used flooring material. It is suitable for any
type of construction and is cheaper than others and durable, see Fig. (1).
Cement Concrete mix of 1:3:6 to 1:5:10 or lime concrete with 40% (1:2
lime sand mortar) and 60% coarse aggregate, is used as base course (base
layer). After hardening, 1:2:4 cement concrete mixes with 40 mm thick
layer is laid as topping.
In industrial buildings, granolithic finish is provided to obtain hard
wearing surface. Granolithic finish can be obtained from rich concrete
with tough quality coarse aggregate mix (like fine granite chipping or
crushed granite).
Fig.(1): Cement Concrete Flooring
1.2.2 Bricks Flooring Material in Buildings
Bricks can also be used for flooring purposes, but they are not suitable
floor materials for residential or public buildings.
Brick floorings are generally used in unimportant rooms. For this, well
burnt bricks are preferable and bricks should be in uniform size and have
same color, see Fig (2).

Flagstone is a type of sedimentary rock which is obtained by splitting
along bed planes. It consists of silica, calcite and iron oxide. Flag stone is
used to manufacture tiles of different sizes in different shapes, as shown
in Fig. (3)

This is a composite material made up of cement and marble aggregate; it
is then mixed and poured in situ onto a concrete base, then ground waxed
and polished. It is available in slabs or tiles. It is very hard wearing, if it
is polished or wet it is very slippery. It is very useful in commercial
situations i.e. malls and shopping centers as it is very durable and easy to
clean.

1.2.6 Glass Flooring Material in Buildings
Glass is used as flooring material for special conditions like to transmit
light from upper floor to lower floor etc. They are available in tiles which

are fixed in closely spaced frames. Eventhough it is very costly, it
provides beautiful appearance, as shown in Fig .(6).

Ceramic tiles are famous floor covering materials. Ceramic is inorganic
material and it possess properties like good compressive resistance,
brittleness and hardness etc.

1.2.8 Wood Flooring Material
Wood or timber is one of the most common methods of flooring. It is
preferred when the timber is cheaply available. Many different species of
wood are fabricated into wood flooring. The two major forms are plank
and parquet. Hardwoods are more durable than softwoods.
Wooden floors are most suitable for auditoriums, saloons etc. Damp
proof course below the flooring is necessary for wooden floors. see Fig.
(8).

which are laid on concrete base. These tiles are available in different
shapes, sizes and colors, as shown in Fig.(9). Plastic tiles are of slippery
