Types of flooring are
1. Concrete Flooring (Vacuum Dewatered)
In this system, concrete is poured in place & vibrated with a poker vibrator. Then a screed vibrator is run over the surface, supported on channel shuttering spaced 4.0 meters apart. The screed vibrator is run twice to achieve optimum compaction & leveling. After this a system of lower mats & top mat is laid on the green concrete & this is attached to a vacuum pump. This draws out excess water.

2. Terrazzo Flooring (marble Chips )
Terrazo as in situ and tile floors were once very popular in India and are still being used in middle class houses. However, unless the tiles are made of proper constituents and are well cured, they tend to get pitted.

3 Rubber Flooring
All modern rubber floors are made from synthetic rubber, such as styrene butadiene rubber (SBR). Rubber tiles are cured or vulcanized by the application of heat. Rubber floors are nonporous, waterproof surfaces. One major advantage is that they are quite resilient and will remain resilient over a considerable temperature range.
4 Vinyl Floors (IS 3492-1966)
There are several types of vinyl floorings and tiles. The major varieties include vinyl composition tiles, homogeneous or flexible vinyl tiles, and laminated vinyl flooring.In addition to the vinyl resins, vinyl composition tiles contain mineral fillers such as asphalt and pigments.
5 Cork Tile
Cork tile is made from the outer bark of cork oak trees grown in Spain and Portugal. The cork is ground into large granules, mixed with synthetic resins, and pressed into sheets, which are then cut into tiles.
6 Carpet Floors
Carpet is typically installed wall-to-wall to eliminate the maintenance of hard flooring surfaces around the edge of a carpet. Rugs, on the other hand, are often used to accentuate a tile or wood floor.
7 Wood Floors
There is nothing quite as attractive as the warmth and richness of wood floors. Most hardwood floors are made from oak, but other popular woods include ash, beech, birch, hickory, maple, teak, and walnut.
8 Linoleum (IS 653-1962)
In modern buildings, the use of vinyl has replaced linoleum, but on occasion, linoleum floors can still be found in older facilities. Linoleum was composed of oxidized linseed oil, resins, embedded cork, and wood flour with pigments pressed on a backing.
