Maintenance problems
Cost
Appearance
Safety
Individual preferences

3. FLOOR FINISHES Floor finishes can be classified under three headings:
In-situ floor finishes
Mixed on site, laid in a fluid state, allowed to dry, and set to form a hard jointless surface
Applied floor finishes
Supplied in tile or sheet form and are laid onto a suitably prepared based
Timber floor finishes
Boards, sheets and blocks or timber laid on or attached to a suitable structural frame or base

Room/Space usage
Degree of comfort required
Maintenance problems

22. WALL FINISHES
External brickwork with an exposed face of facing bricks is a self-finish and requires no further treatment.
External walls of common bricks or blocks can be treated to give an acceptable appearance by the application of paint or an applied wall finish such as rendering, or can be clad with boards or tiles.
Internal walls or partitions can be built with a fair face of natural materials such as bricks or stone but much cheaper by using plaster or glazed tiles.

Problems: installation of lights and fan

28. CEILING FINISHES Suspended ceiling
Frame and panel type
Strip ceiling type
