Etymology

The word 'flooring' originates from the Middle English term 'flor', which itself comes from the Old French 'flor', meaning 'the ground' or 'the bottom'. This word has its roots in the Latin 'planus', meaning 'flat' or 'level'. The evolution of flooring materials has paralleled advancements in construction and design; initially, floors were simply earth or stone but have evolved to include a diverse range of modern materials such as wood, laminates, and composites. Over the centuries, societal changes and functional needs have driven innovation in flooring, leading to the variety of styles and materials available today.
