6.2 | Suspended Cast-in-Place DecksAffordability: This system is one of the most expensivefloor systems for residential construction. The cost formaterials for a residential project is approximately $15.00per square foot, not including labor. 7Coastal Consideration: This floor system qualifiesas wind-resistant construction, and homeowners may beeligible to apply for a reduction in insurance rates in Mississippi.8GULF COAST AVAILABILITY /LOCAL MANUFACTURERSRetailers in the Gulf Coast area include:• Green Elephant <strong>Construction</strong> Supply4107 Popps Ferry RoadD’Iberville, MS 39540(Fig.6) Steel joists are anchored to foundation walls with an extendedshoe (as shown above) that is then set into concrete.Manufacturers being used in the area include:• Speedfloor USA299 Haskel LaneBatavia, Ohio 45103Installers in the Gulf Coast area include:••Bailey HomesDelta Builders(Fig.7) The steel joists are spaced 49” on center to allow for 4x8sheets of plywood to slide in between. The plywood is removed after theconcrete is cured.(Fig.8) A professional concrete installer spreads concrete over theformwork. Here, rebar is used instead of steel mesh for reinforcement.
Floor Finishes | 6.3(Fig.9) Bamboo(Fig.10) CorkFloor FinishesOverview: Most residential floors consist of a structuralsubfloor (such as a concrete slab or 3/4” plywood) coveredby a finish flooring material that creates the finishedsurface. A wide range of flooring materials and floorcoverings can be used to create a floor with the desireddurability, appearance, environmental benefits, and otherqualities.Many types of floor finishes are available, including solidwood, engineered wood, laminate, vinyl, rubber, linoleum,natural- or synthetic-fiber carpet, ceramic tile, and stone.The choice of finish material will depend on many factors.Comfort and appearance are high priorities in the livingareas of the house, while durability and ease of maintenanceare important in high-use areas and especially inwet rooms such as kitchens and bathrooms. Affordabilityand ease of installation are key factors that vary greatlyamong floor finishes. Finally, the impact of the choiceon the environment and on the indoor air quality of thehouse should be considered.(Fig.11) Hardwoods: Oak(Fig.13) Wool Carpet(Fig.12) Wood Laminate(Fig.14) RubberINSTALLATION<strong>Construction</strong> Process: The finish floor is installed latein the process to protect it from damage during construction.Many finish floors are installed directly on top of thesubfloor using a variety of methods including constructionadhesive and nails. Laminate and engineered woodfloors can be glued down or installed as a “floating floor”that is laid over a foam underlayment but not glued to thesubfloor. Some tile floors may require an additional layerof a cement-based tile backer board to ensure durability.(Fig.15) Ceramic Tile(Fig.16) Stone: Slate(Figs.9-18) Shown at right are examples of typical floor finishes used inresidential applications.(Fig.17) Vinyl(Fig.18) Linoleum
