Hard finishes
Hard finishes
Cementitious e.g. terrazzo and granolithic. Used for basement corridors, store rooms, stairways and laundries. They are heavy duty floorings.
Stone e.g. marble, slate in slab form. They are all hard wearing.
Ceramic tiles – quarries (when laid properly form an impervious, hard wearing surface and are used in cloakrooms, kitchens, canteens and food storage areas) and more decorative hard glazed tiles (used as more decorative floorings, often used in bathrooms, patios and similar places)
Resin floorings (epoxy, polyester or polyurethane) with or without vinyl or marble chips set in. may be used in food handling areas, bathrooms, cloakrooms, corridors and laundries.
Bitumastic (asphalt rolled on to a solid sub floor in a hot plastic state) lay in situ. Softens with heat and dents with heavy weights, and is harmed by spirit, oil and acids but the cost is low.
Magnesite and other composition finishes laid in situ or as small blocks. Harmed by water therefore used where there is little risk of water being split, e.g. linen rooms.
Wood – hard woods laid as strip (has resilience and is very suitable for ballroom floors, gymnasia etc.), block (is used in entrance halls, boardrooms, libraries, offices etc.) or parquet (is used for prestige areas, foyers, lounges, boardrooms).
Semi-hard finishes
Thermoplastic tiles. They are durable, obtainable in variety of colours and are comparatively cheap flooring; they may be used in bathrooms, corridors, offices, etc.
Vinyl (vinyl asbestos or flexible vinyl) in tile or sheet form can be used in a great variety of places, including bathrooms, corridors, canteens, offices, study bedrooms, hospital wards and corridors.
Rubber in tile or sheet form can be used for an infinite variety of mats and matting found in places where protection is required for floor beneath. Front door mats, mats in front of service lifts, and nosing on stairs.
Linoleum (mixture of powdered cork, resin, linseed oil and pigments, put on a foundation of jute canvas and subjected to heat and pressure) in tile or sheet form may be sealed and/or polished and is used in many places like linen rooms, study bedrooms, offices, corridors, bathrooms, canteens and hospital wards.
*Cork (made of granulated corks and subjected to heat and pressure) in tile or sheet form can be used in offices, corridors, bathrooms when vinyl surfaced and as surrounds to carpets.
*Cork- a light soft material that is the thick bark of a type of Oak tree.
Soft floor coverings
Carpets – woven, tufted, adhesively bonded, electro statically flocked.
