You need to select the relevant floor covering for each window

For each window, select the relevant floor covering immediately below. The avaialble selections are:

Carpet 

Ceramic Tile 

Cork 

Floating Timber 

Other Hard surface (such as stone, mosaic etc.) 

Other Soft surface (such as rubber, foam etc.)

Polished Concrete 

Vinyl Tile 

If you have any other hard floor covering which is not available, select Other hard surface.  Select Other Soft surface for any other type of soft floor covering.

  

Floor coverings affect the ability of a slab floor in contact with the ground to store solar heat gain from windows. Floor coverings with high thermal mass such as ceramic tiles, or floor coverings with low thermal resistance such as vinyl allow more solar heat gain from windows to be stored in the slab floor to reduce cooling in summer and heating in winter.
