FLOOR

Structural component made to provide a level surface .

It is a horizontal sanitary surface that supports the occupants of a building, furniture and equipment.

STRUCTURE OF A FLOOR.

The floor is divided into three components Sub base Base concrete Floor finish

Page 3: FLOOR FINISHES AND COVERINGS

Cleanliness- The flooring should be capable of being cleaned easily, and it should be non-absorbent.

Resistance- Should have effective resistance against absorption of oil, grease etc.

Durability - The flooring should have sufficient resistance to wear, temperature changes, disintegration with time and decay. Tiles, marble, terrazzo, concrete, mosaic etc. are considered to be of best types.

Tiled Floors

Page 18: FLOOR FINISHES AND COVERINGS

Tiled Floors

The usefulness of tiles as a flooring material is due to

Their pleasant appearance.It eliminates the possibility of cracks. Quick execution of flooring

Constructed from square, hexagonal or other shapesMade of clay ( pottery), cement concrete or terrazzo. Available in different sizes and thicknesses. Commonly used in residential houses, offices, schools,

hospitals and other public buildings, for floor to be laid quickly.

Page 19: FLOOR FINISHES AND COVERINGS

BASE FOR TILE FLOORING

Flooring may be laid on reasonably rigid base.Surface of the base shall be rough to form suitable

key with bedding mortar.The base, about 35 to 50 mm below the level of

the finished floor, to be properly graded and free from lose earth, dirt, dust and lumps.

Page 20: FLOOR FINISHES AND COVERINGS

LAYING OF TILES

Laying of Bedding Mortar-

For pre-finished ceramic tiles – the bedding mortar used for this has the cement and coarse sand ration of 1:4For glazed earthenware tile -the bedding mortar used for this has the cement and coarse sand ration of 1:3Quantity of water should be such that it gives the motar sufficient amount of plasticity and also makes the mortar workable. Average thickness of bedding mortar = 20 mm Thickness under the tile = not less than 10 mm.

Allowed to harden for 12 to 24 hours.

Before laying the tiles, neat cement slurry is spread over the bedding mortar

Page 21: FLOOR FINISHES AND COVERINGS

Preparing the bed for laying the tile

Page 22: FLOOR FINISHES AND COVERINGS

LAYING OF TILES

Tiles are laid flat, gently pressed into the bedding mortar with the help of wooden mallet. Before laying the tiles, thin paste of cement is applied on their sides, over the entire perimeter surfaceNext day

Joints between adjacent tiles are cleaned of loose mortar etc. to a depth of 5 mm, using wire brush

Then grouted with cement slurry of the tile colour. The slurry is also applied over the flooring.Then curing is done for seven daysIn Vitrified ceramic tiles – wetting of the back surface before laying is adequate. In Glazed earthenware tiles - tiles are soaked in water for an hour before laying.

General

LAYING OF BRICKS

Bricks are laid on edge and on bed.The joint between the brick should not exceed10mm thicknessThe brick is protected from rain when mortar is still green.

The usefulness of bricks as flooring material lie mainly in their good wearing quality and ease of quick installation. The performance depends on the quality of bricks, bedding prepared and the laying is done. It’s done generally in low cost areas.

Page 51: FLOOR FINISHES AND COVERINGS

Laying• The bricks shall be laid on the edge on 12mm mortar bed in plain or

diagonal herring bone pattern.• Each brick should be properly bedded and set home by gently

tapping with wooden trowel handle or mallet. • Its inside face is applied with mortar, before the next brick is laid

and pressed against it. • On competition of a portion of flooring the joints should be filled

with mortar.• The surface of the flooring during laying should be frequently

checked with a straight edge.

Curing

Brick work should be protected from rain by suitable covering when the mortar is still green. Brickwork shall be kept constantly moist on all faces for a period of 7 days.

Page 52: FLOOR FINISHES AND COVERINGS
Page 53: FLOOR FINISHES AND COVERINGS

CEMENT CONCRETE FLOORING

Page 54: FLOOR FINISHES AND COVERINGS

Consists of cement concrete(1:2:4) thickness of 25,40 or 50mm. Laid over base concrete after proper sub base preparation

QUALITIES

Smooth, hard and pleasing in apperance. Posses good durablity. Economical. Does not required proper maintenance. Required skilled labor. Does not equalize the temperature. Can be easily cleaned Can carry expected loading and traffic.

Page 55: FLOOR FINISHES AND COVERINGS

USES• This is one of the most common flooring used throughout the

world for nearly all types of buildings like houses, shops, hospitals etc.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS• CHOICE OF AGGREGATE: should be hard enough for good

durability as well as abrasion resistance.• WATER CEMENT RATIO: lower the water cement ratio, greater the

durability and wear resistance.• DENSITY OF FLOORING: flooring should be well compacted.

density is increased with increase in density of finish.• CURING: adequate curing is essential to ensure good wear

resistances

Page 56: FLOOR FINISHES AND COVERINGS

CEMENT CONCRETE FLOOR FINISHFinish is laid with base concrete on ground. Topping is laid within 2-3 hours of laying the base concreteBase concrete imparts strength and have good wearing properties.,

Base concreteConsists of 100 mm thick1:4:8 cement concreteBefore placing the base concrete, the sub base should be properly wetted. Surface should not be finished smooth but kept rough to provide adequate bond for topping.

Floor finishing Topping consist of 1:2:4 cement concrete with a minimum

thickness of 25 mm. Topping should be placed in position as soon as possible but not later than 2to 3 hours of laying

TIMBER FLOORING

Flooring in which timber is used is known as timber flooring.• It is the most common flooring and it possess natural

beauty.

Page 60: FLOOR FINISHES AND COVERINGS

MATERIAL USED IN TIMBER FLOORING

In Artificial wooden flooring M.D.F boards are usedFor natural wooden flooring teak, oak, shesham etc are used.Different types are adhesive used in tmber flooring

CONSTRUTION METHOD-

Steps used in timber flooring-Firstly ground is levelled and compected properly.Over the compacted surface of ground,a layer of lime Concrete 10-15 cm. or cement concrete 5 to 8 cm thick is laid and properly compected.Small walls at a distance of nearly 1.5 to 2.0 c/c are

constructed over the concrete bed.

Page 61: FLOOR FINISHES AND COVERINGS

Over the dwarf walls, timber beams generally 8x10cm.in size ,called sleeper or needle are laid.The wooden boards ,generally 2-3 cm. thick and maximum width of wooden boards recommended is 10 cm. In another type of timber floor asphalt layer about 6mm. Thick laid over the lime cement concrete base.over this base timber joints are laid dividing the floor area in square or rectangles.timber planks 3-4 cm. thick over these joints.

The wooden planks are joined by tongue and groove.
