floor coverings
Rugs and carpets
Floor coverings are materials laid over a floor surface for comfort, appearance, or protection.
The term encompasses carpets, rugs, tiles, linoleum, and hardwood flooring.
The landlord replaced all the floor coverings before the new tenants moved in.
Unlike flooring, which may be structural, floor coverings sit atop an existing surface.
