Depending on the specific material, structural level, or regional terminology, a floor is called by many different names. In architectural and construction terminology, walking surfaces are referred to as flooring, decking, paving, or subflooring. When designating vertical levels within a building, terms like ground floor, first floor, upper story, mezzanine, and basement are used. Material-specific designations include hardwood, tile, carpet, laminate, and linoleum. Additionally, maritime and nautical contexts utilize terms like deck or sole to describe the horizontal walking platforms inside a ship or vessel.
