- 3. Wood - Mostpopular • Strip Flooring – Tongue and groove – Nailed to sub floor – Pre-finished or unfinished • Random Plank – Wider than strips – Screwed to sub floor, covered with wood plugs • Parquet – Small pieces arranged in different designs – Pre-finished squares for easy installation
- 5. Stone • Marble – Variouscolors depending on origin – Verdigris (vər-də-grēs) : marbles that have a green color • Limestone: most common, usually white but may have cloudy streaks • Onyx: may have layers of colors or banding
- 6. Stone • Terrazzo formedusing marble or chipped stones embedded in full concrete. – artistic and very reliable – best for outdoor spaces such as verandas or patios. – strong but 50% chance of breakage at quarry
- 7. Stone • Travertine: porouslimestone used on floors or walls – Comes from mineral springs – Holes from escaping gas – Holes filled with resin which may or may not be same color
- 8. Ceramic Tile • Bathrooms,kitchens, entryways • Made from baked clay • Durable, moisture resistant, easy to clean • Can crack if not installed on even surface
- 9. Other Tiles • CeramicMosaic – Individual tiles mounted together to keep together and make installation easier – More often on walls • Mexican – Made from clay – Shaped by hand – Dried in sun • Quarry – Fired Earth/Clay – Warm brown to beige
- 10. Resilient Floor Coverings •Flooring with a semi-hard surface that returns to its original shape after stress • Warmer and quieter to walk on • Not quite as durable • Vinyl and plastic laminate
- 11. • Resists stains,affordable • Sheet Vinyl – 6, 9, 12 foot sheets – Rotogravure (rō-tə-grə-vyu̇r) • Top layer covered with clear coating • Thin, tears easily – Inlaid • Colored chips make designs (heat, pressure) • Design all the way to backing • Most durable of the vinyl Vinyl
- 12. Vinyl • Vinyl Tiles –12 in. X 12 in. – Sticky backing – Place together like a puzzle
- 13. Carpet • Insulates againstdrafts • Decreases noise • More comforting feel • Quality – Pile (nap): visible surface of carpet – Density: how close the tufts are made together, more important than depth – Heat setting – Twist – Depth
- 14. Carpet Fibers Nylon: –most popular, –durable, –easyto maintain, –limited colors Polypropylene (olefin): –strong, –nonabsorbent, –resists stains and static, –colorfast, –cheap, –crushes easily, –limited colors, –heat sensitive 95% made of manufactured fibers
- 15. Carpet Fibers Cont. Polyesterblend (PET) • made from recycled plastics, • resists stains and fading Acrylic: • feels and looks like wool, • low static level, • resists mildew, • subject to pilling
- 16. Carpet Fibers Cont. •soft • durable • long lasting • expensive • moth sensitive • shrinkage • allergies • hard to clean Wool:
- 17. Carpeting Textures /Categories • Cut Pile – Formal looking plush, velvet, smooth, may flatten • Saxony – Similar to cut but yarns have been twisted more giving less formal appearance • Frieze – Informal, curly texture, shows minimal marks

- 19. Backing or Cushion •Extends life of carpet • Shock absorber • Less than ½” thick
