The interior of the home refers to all the finished surfaces on the interior
walls, ceilings and floors as well as such components as doors, windows and
stairs. The finished interior of a home includes the internal structure and systems
(plumbing and electrical) and should be designed to provide a certain level of
comfort and aesthetic enjoyment.
Here we are going to speak about floors. A floor is the walking surface of
a room. Floors vary from simple dirt in a cave to many-layered surfaces using
modern technology.
Floors typically consist of a subfloor for support and a floor covering. In
modern buildings the subfloor often has electrical wiring, plumbing, and other
services built in. The floor covering is any finishing material applied over a floor
structure to provide a good walking surface.
Different materials can be used as the floor covering. It may be stone,
wood, bamboo, metal, or any other material that can hold a person’s weight. Us-
ing of the material depends on a place where it will be installed. Every kind of
material has its advantages and disadvantages. For example:
Hardwood floors are very common in today’s market. The most common-
ly used wood is oak. It is usually identified by its hardness. The material can be
easily installed, sanded, stained and finished.
Parquet floors are usually high quality floors. The most common problem
with this flooring is that the adhesive becomes loose. You can usually senseloose flooring when you walk over the loose area. Floors tend to loosen with
moisture or conditions with high relative humidity, and in high traffic areas.
This kind of floors has a “V” joint between the pieces, which makes re-finishing
difficult. This joint collects dirt and greases over the years, which makes clean-
ing and preparing the floor tedious.
Vinyl goods are dependable, as long as the installation is performed
properly. There is a wide range in quality. Loose tiles are often a sign of mois-
ture or workmanship concerns, particularly in the kitchen and basement areas.
Floor vibration is a problem with floors. Wood floors tend to pass sound,
particularly heavy footsteps and low bass frequencies. Floating floors can reduce
this problem. Concrete floors are usually so massive they do not have this prob-
lem, but they are also much more expensive to construct and must meet more
stringent building requirements due to their weight.
Floor cleaning is a major occupation throughout the world. Cleaning is es-
sential to remove dirt. Floors are also treated to protect or beautify the surface.
The correct method to clean one type of floor can often damage another, so it is
important to use the correct treatment.
