floor level

Which story, vertically

Floor level refers to the height or elevation of a floor surface, typically measured relative to the ground or another reference point.

In buildings, it often distinguishes between stories: The café is at street level, but the offices are one floor level up.

Floor level also describes something positioned at or near the floor surface: Keep the heater at floor level for better circulation.
