flooring store
A shop specializing in flooring products such as tiles, parquet, and wood boards.
A flooring store is a retail space whose primary wares consist of flooring materials other than carpets and rugs. These usually include tiles, boards, parquet, and possibly other materials.
Carpets and rugs are expressly excluded from the primary flooring merchandise of this store type. Tiles, boards, and parquet are usual products.
Carpet stores and rug stores have their own product definitions. Flooring installation services alone do not establish a retail flooring shop.
