Laying Wood Flooring On Concrete
Wood flooring is any product manufactured from timber that is designed for use as flooring, either structural or aesthetic. Bamboo flooring is often considered a wood floor, although it is made from a grass (bamboo) rather than a timber.
Most wood flooring is made of hardwoods, such as oak, maple, pecan, beech and birch. There is solid wood flooring and laminated, which combines wood layered in different directions for strength and to inhibit warping.
Most often made from hardwoods like maple, pecan, beech, birch or oak.

Workers' housing
Starting in 1918, long before Modernism or the International Style were thought of, the Crittall Manufacturing Co. constructed a small estate of houses for its workers. They were of concrete block, with flat roofs and exposed lintels. Sand for the concrete was excavated on site. I inspected the interior of one of them. The stairs were of concrete (some, I was informed, are of steel), and so was the floor of the upstairs rooms. Downstairs, on the ceiling, could be traced the impression of the wood grain, bitten into the concrete when it was laid down wet on planks. The rooflines, as built, were raised at the corners and at the centre of each semi-detached pair. All, of course, had Crittall metal-framed windows. Today, not one house has its raised roofline and, except for a couple of listed examples, there is not a Crittall window to be seen.

Observation is your best tool when it comes to the capture of nature photos but, you knew that.
