Building Materials
1) Platform or wood parquet; Plastics; Floor tile; brick; stone.
Platform or wood parquet: A platform is made up of connected (mortised) boards 5 to 15 cm wide, nailed onto wooden joists. They have a hollow sound when stepped on.
Wood parquet is made up of small wooden (cane) boards, generally attached on top of a cement mix. It is a compact floor where footsteps are not felt. In some high-quality older buildings, which are generally quite large, wood parquet can be found nailed to floor joists. In these cases, it makes some sound [when stepped on].
Plastics: These floors are characterized by their varied or combined (streaked) colors and their soft consistency which absorbs the noise of footsteps.
Floor tile: Made up of polished squares of different bright colors (gray, red, black, with pictures), generally 20 cm by 20 cm.
Brick: Made up of small clay tiles of a characteristic brick color.
Stone: These are floors that are easily recognizable on sight by their color and characteristic appearance.
2) Dirt: Floors without a covering, composed entirely of packed and leveled dirt.
