floor

A floor is the bottom surface of a room or vehicle. Floors vary from simple dirt in a cave to many-layered surfaces modern technology. Floors may be stone, wood, bamboo, metal, or any other material that can support the expected load.
The levels of a building are often referred to as floors although a more proper term is story or storey.
Floors typically consist of a subfloor for support and a floor covering used to give a good walking surface. In modern buildings the subfloor often has electrical wiring, plumbing, and other services built in. As floors must meet many needs, some essential to safety, floors are built to strict building codes in some regions.

    Painting my garage

    I’m looking to paint my garage walls and possibly floor as I’m sick of all the concrete dust everywhere. Has anyone got any recommendations regarding paint and possibly floor covering? Do the breeze blocks absorb a lot of the first coat of paint?

    I’m looking to place a pair of Monitor Audio Silver 300’s Ona hard tiled floor and just wondering whether it’s better for them to sit directly on the tiled floor or better to be sat on something softer like felt? Does anyone have any experience or an opinion? Thanks

    Recommended floor standers with Lyngdorf TDAI 1120

    Hi, I'm after some recommendations for floor standing speakers to connect to a Lyngdorf TDAI 1120. Budget for floor standing speakers is approx £1K and also, will a sub be required? I do like bass, so I think I already know what the answer to that is. So which sub would you recommend?

    Currently I use my ipad pro with a small bluetooth speaker (bose soundlink II) to listen to music while I work out in my small home gym. I'm wanting to get something more substantial as the small bluetooth speaker is better than just the ipad, but not quite enough. I've looked at the Klipsch...

    Worth biting on a "2 week floor model" CX?

    There is a local B&M store offering a 48" CX "2 week floor model that's in otherwise brand new shape" for $1k, but I think it's likely I can knock off another hundred or two if I visit in-person. Should I bite? I heard it's not reliable to count on checking the runtime of the TV since it can...
