A resilient floor covering formed by coating burlap or canvas with heated linseed oil, powdered cork, and rosin, and adding pigments to achieve the desired colors and patterns

A resilient floor covering composed principally of polyvinyl chloride in combination with mineral fillers, pigments, and a fiber, felt, or foam backing

A heavy woven, knitted, needle-tufted, or felted fabric for covering a floor

A ground and polished terrazzo finish consisting mainly of relatively small stone chips

A ground and polished terrazzo finish consisting mainly of relatively large stone chips, with smaller chips filling the spaces between

A uniformly textured terrazzo finish produced by washing the matrix prior to setting so as to expose the chips, which are not ground

A mosaic terrazzo finish consisting of cut or fractured marble slabs set by hand in the desired pattern, with smaller chips filling the spaces between

The mixture of stone chips and cementitious or resinous matrix that produces a terrazzo surface

A chemical substance applied to a substrate to create a bond between it and a succeeding layer, as between a terrazzo topping and a subfloor

The mortar base on which a terrazzo topping is applied

A latex, polyester, or epoxy binder combined with stone chips to from a terrazzo topping especially resistant to chemicals and abrasion

A thin resinous terrazzo topping directly over a sound wood, metal, or concrete subfloor

A terrazzo topping installed directly over a rough-finished concrete slab. A chemical bonding agent is used if the concrete surface is too smooth for a mechanical bond.

A terrazzo topping installed over a mortar underbed that is bonded to a rough-finished concrete slab

A terrazzo system for controlling cracking when structural movement is expected, consisting of a terrazzo topping installed over a reinforced mortar underbed that is separated from the subfloor by an isolation membrane and a thin layer of sand

A resilient floor tile composed principally of polyvinyl chloride in combination with mineral fillers and pigments

A resilient floor tile composed of granulated cork and synthetic resin binders, finished with a protective coat of was or a film of clear polyvinyl chloride

A resilient floor tile composed of natural or synthetic rubber with mineral fillers

A flooring tile made of carpeting material

The average weight of pile yarn in a carpet

The weight of pile yarn per unit volume of carpet

The crosswise number of tuft-forming pile yarns

The spacing of tufts across the width of a tufted or knitted carpet

Carpet made by simultaneously interweaving the backing and pile yarns on a loom

Carpet made by mechanically stitching pile yarn through a primary fabric backing and bonded with latex to a secondary backing

Carpet made by looping the backing, stitching, and pile yarns with three sets of needles

Carpet made by heat-fusing face yarns to a vinyl backing supported by other materials

Carpet made by propelling short strands of pile fiber electrostatically against an adhesive-coated backing

Carpet made by punching carpet fibers back and forth through a woven polypropylene sheet with barbed needles to form a felted fiber mat

Any of various floor coverings capable of springing back to the original form after being bent or compressed, available in either tile or sheet form and set in mastic over a suitable underlayment

Material, esp. a non-fabric material, such as vinyl or ceramic tile, used to cover a floor

Any of various pasty substances used as a sealant, adhesive, or protective coating

A material such as plywood or hardboard, laid over a subfloor to provide a smooth, even base for resilient flooring, carpet, or other non-structural flooring

The upright tufts of yarn forming the surface of a carpet or fabric

The foundation material securing the pile yarns of a carpet and providing it with stiffness, strength, and dimensional stability

A pad of cellular rubber or felted animal hair, over which carpet is installed to increase resilience, improve durability, and reduce impact sound transmission
