The choice of finishes is crucial to a project's overall quality, both for its aesthetic impact and its budget implications. Often, designers opt for modular flooring—materials installed in individual pieces—which requires a clear layout logic. This article explores different flooring patterns and how they can be applied to various materials.
Floor coverings are finishes typically installed over a concrete slab or subfloor. They can be seamless, such as burnished concrete or epoxy, or modular, installed piece by piece using mortar or adhesive. Modular flooring can consist of cold materials—such as ceramic, porcelain, stone, or cement tiles—or warm materials, like wood, laminates, vinyl, and carpet. Because these pieces vary in size, their installation possibilities vary as well.
