Resilient Floor Deep-sea: Rubber tile. Made of a rubber composition and Resilient Floor deep-sea to the step, rubber Tile is often used as a substitute where marble floors are desirable. It is made only in stock colors, which include a great variety of marbled types. Sheets are made 24 by 36 inches, and can be cut to any smaller size. The possibilities in pattern design are practically unlimited in this ma¬terial. Rubber Tile may be laid on any type of Floor surface.
Cork. A popular material for Floor covering, particularly in modern rooms. It is made Y8 inch, % inch, and l/2 inch thick for floors, and in thin sheets for walls. The bulk of cork Floor and Wall covering is made in one of the three stock shades of brown, though it may also be stained to a va¬riety of colors. The material is very Resilient Floor deep-sea and is an excellent silencer. It may be laid on either concrete or wood. It is necessary to keep it waxed in order to preserve its surface.
The continuous-re¬cording echo sounder, however, has revealed that the topography of the ocean Floor is quite diverse and every bit as varied as the topography of land surfaces. The major contribution of the pre¬cision continuous-recording echo sounder, in fact, is that the topography of the sea Floor can now be thought of in the same physiographic or geo-morphological terms as the topography of the land. The sea Floor has the same complex moun¬tain systems, plains, steppes, plateaus, canyons, and trenches that are seen on land, except that the ruggedness of the sea Floor is generally somewhat greater because of the lack of vigorous erosion over large areas of the deep-sea floor.See Also Resilient Floor Sition:Synthetic Floor Coverings
Among the Floor coverings made from combinations of synthetic ma¬terials may be mentioned vinyl, linoleum, rubber, cork, and asphalt tile. Vinyl is a plastic used extensively for Floor tiles. It has a hard, slightly Resilient Floor sition surface and is reasonably resistant to denting, scratches, grease and acid stains. It is very suitable to heavy wear and particularly in kitchens and other service portions of a house. It is manufactured in variously dimensioned square and rectangular Tile sizes of %th and l/12th inches in thickness, and in many colors, marbleized and wood-grained effects. It can be laid in patterns of contrasting shapes and colors and is often alternated with ceramic tiles or brass strips. It is also used as a binder in making tiles of cork, asphalt and asbestos.
Resilient Floor sition Flooring includes asphalt tile, vinyl asbestos tile, and pure vinyl in tiles or in 6-foot-wide sheets. In addition to wearing well and being relatively inexpensive, it is available in a wide variety of patterns suitable to any area. Floor designs can often disguise architectural defects, making a small room seem larger or a narrow one wider. In a multipurpose room the Floor may be designed to distinguish different activity areas by changes in pattern or color.
Soft Flooring includes rugs, which cover part of a Floor and are unattached, and carpeting, which completely covers a Floor and is fastened down (see Rugs AND CARPETS). Rugs and car¬pets may be plain or patterned, hand or machine made. For centuries wool has been generally considered the best fiber for woven Floor cover¬ing, but today there are many man-made fibers that are sturdy and easy to maintain. The quali¬ties of each fiber should be investigated in the Light of the purpose of the Floor covering. A wall-to-wall carpet in a solid color will usually make a room appear larger and will help unify the decorative scheme and tie together the furni¬ture. Today, however, in both modern and period rooms, area Rugs distinguish Furniture groupings.
On The Other Hand See Resilient Floor Low:Hotels and Restaurants. To make a profit in hotels and restaurants, it is necessary to take great care to balance the costs of planning, deco¬ration, and operation with income. The design must provide for easy circulation in all areas occupied by the public and must locate kitchens and auxiliary facilities to allow for efficient service. Furniture and Decoration may vary in style and quality from a de luxe to a moderate establishment, but they should always be at¬tractive, sturdy, and easy to maintain. Color and Lighting should be carefully planned so that the overall design will present the image desired by the management. For example, in a dimly lit, luxurious dining room, chairs may be covered in rich red fabric and the Floor carpeted in an all-over pattern that does not too readily show stains. In a brightly lit coffee shop, on the other hand, chairs may be covered in a gay-colored plastic, and the Floor may be of Resilient Floor low tile.
