Tile Forum | America Tile Forum
Welcome to America Tile Forum, the USA Tile Industry. The Tile Association of America.floors
A floor is the bottom surface of a room or vehicle. Floors vary from simple dirt in a cave to many-layered surfaces made with modern technology. Floors may be stone, wood, bamboo, metal or any other material that can support the expected load.
The levels of a building are often referred to as floors, although a more proper term is storey.
Floors typically consist of a subfloor for support and a floor covering used to give a good walking surface. In modern buildings the subfloor often has electrical wiring, plumbing, and other services built in. As floors must meet many needs, some essential to safety, floors are built to strict building codes in some regions.

Lining Up Walls And Floors
Who does it whenever possible? I do sometimes but I rarely try and match all 4 walls up with the floor. It often compromises the set out of the walls. Do you try and match up the end with the width with using 60x30 tiles?- Flintstone

Floating floors
Ok, so I've been back on here a few days and thought I would raise a somewhat "controversial" topic. Floating floors! I've not had one in a while now, priced many but it tends, once they're fully informed, to scare my customers away. I'm in the middle of one at the moment. It's a kitchen... -
