Unprotected concrete floors will wear, be stained by oils and fluids, and be damaged by the corrosive effects of snow and ice melting chemicals such as rock salt.
The floors are monolithic (continuous) poured concrete with reinforced steel and supporting walls are built with eight inch cement blocks filled with vermiculite for soundproofing and insulation.
Monolithic concrete slab footings and floors are best suited for flat land in warm climates where a minimum of excavating work has to be done for footings.

Concrete floors are particularly prone to impact sounds, but laying a resilient layer, such as a carpet, onto the floor will guard against this.

Concrete floors act as a thermal store; this can reduce heating costs especially when under-floor-heating systems are used.

Floors are scored and stained concrete in a copper-colored patina that will make you think of decorating with nothing but leather chairs and sofas.
Ground floors were poured concrete, the second floors were reinforced concrete, the walls were brick with steel rebar reinforcement and the framing was metal.
Traditional ground supported concrete floors consist of a compacted hardcore base on to which is laid the flooring slab and insulation.
