Fremont, CA: The bottom enclosing surface of areas within buildings is referred to as flooring. This might be a permanent covering lay over the floor, or it can be an element of the floor structure, such as the upper surface of a concrete slab or floorboards. The term flooring can also refer to the process of laying down flooring material. Here are six types of flooring:

Cork

Cork is a water-resistant, reusable material that works well in various environments, including basements and bathrooms. Cork can be bonded or snapped together in the same manner that laminates can. Cork flooring is warm and flexible, but sharp things can easily destroy them.

Tile (natural stone)

Bamboo

This is grass that has been crushed into a flooring material and is nailed or bonded together
