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.

Bathroom tiling - walls first or floors?
Thanks for letting me join. I am approaching the end of a "on the tools" owner build. I have noticed there are two trains of thought... Tile floors first and then tile walls, or tile the walls first and then the floors... Advice on which way and why?- Taz
