3. oFLOORING IS THE GENERAL TERM FOR A
PERMANENT COVERING OF A FLOOR.
oTO PROVIDE A FINISHED WORKING SURFACE.
oIT CONSISTS OF A SUBFLOOR WHICH SUPPORTS
THE FINISHED FLOORING MATERIAL.
oSPECIAL PURPOSE OF SUBFLOORS
 FLOOTING FLOORS
 RAISED FLOORS
 SPRUNG FLOORS

16. VITRIFIED TILES AND ITS TYPES
VITRIFIED TILES:
 CERAMIC TILE WITH VERY LOW POROSITY
 POPULAR IN USE
 ALTERNATIVE TO MARBLE AND GRANITE
 VERY MUCH DURABLE
 COST DEPENDS UPON MASS PRODUCTION, MATERIAL USED FOR GLAZING
 CAN BE CLASSIFIED FURTHER AS: DOUBLE/MULTI CHARGED, FULL BODY, GLAZED, DIGITALIZED

17. DOUBLE/MULTI CHARGED:
 FED THROGH A PROCESS THAT PRINTS PATTERNS WITH DOUBLE LAYER OF PIGMENT
 3-4MM THICKER THAN OTHER TYPES OF TILES
 NO COMPLEX PATTERNS
 SUITABLE FOR HEAVY TRFFIC PROJECTS
 RESULTS IN A LONG WEARING TILE SURFACE
FULL BODY:
 HAVE PIGMENT IN ENTIRE BODY
