Comfort Criteria (i.e. Shock-Absorbing and Good Conductivity Properties)

The flooring material should be such that it provides comfort to the occupants, under living and working conditions. The use of flooring materials, such as cork tiles, wooden blocks, linoleum, rubber, plastic, etc., is preferred from comfort viewpoint as they give floors that are good conductors of heat. The floorings of concrete, marble, terrazzo, slate, brick, etc. are commonly tiresome and cold, so do not offer comfort to the occupants.
