4. What is the predominant material of the floors?
Consider the floors of all the rooms of the dwelling. When there is more than one material in the floors you must indicate only the one that occupies the most surface area.
Tiles, parquet, carpet, linoleum. Tiles refer to ceramic materials that already have either enamel (tiles with colors or stamps) or sponge-texture (brick-like, press bricks, etc. without enamel). Parquet refers to a wood surface, carpet to a textile glued to the subfloor, and linoleum or plastic pavement of plastic origin in rolls or tiles that sticks to the subfloor.
Limestone tiles. Sand and cement tiles similar to street sidewalks.
Smoothed concrete. This deals of the cases in which there is, on the subfloor, a cap of 1 to 2 cm of sand and concrete.
[p. 27]
No floor underlay. The subfloor is the layer of 8 to 12 cm that is constructed on the natural floor or compact earth; it can be of concrete, cement rubble of coarse cement and so on. Its surface is hard and rough.
