2. Herringbone pattern - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herringbone_pattern

   Subtle alternating colors may be used to create a distinctive floor pattern, or the materials used may be the same, causing the floor to look uniform from a distance. Laying a herringbone floor is very challenging, since the multitude of small rows must be made to line up smoothly, which can be difficult in a room which is not perfectly flat.

3. Thermal transmittance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_transmittance

   To calculate thermal transmittance when there are "bridging" mortar joints it is necessary to calculate two quantities, known as R max and R min. R max can be thought of as the total thermal insulance obtained if it is assumed that there is no lateral flow of heat and R min can be thought of as the total thermal insulance obtained if it is ...

4. Sound transmission class - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_transmission_class

   Sound Transmission Class (or STC) is an integer rating of how well a building partition attenuates airborne sound.In the US, it is widely used to rate interior partitions, ceilings, floors, doors, windows and exterior wall configurations.

5. R-value (insulation) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-value_(insulation)

   Brick has a very poor insulating ability at a mere R-0.2 per inch; however it does have a relatively good thermal mass. Note that the above examples all use the U.S. (non-SI) definition for R-value. Aerogel is an extremely good thermal insulator, which at a pressure of one-tenth of an atmosphere has an R-value of R-40/m, [ 43 ] compared to R-3. ...

6. Floor area ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floor_area_ratio

   Floor Area ratio is sometimes called floor space ratio (FSR), floor space index (FSI), site ratio or plot ratio. The difference between FAR and FSI is that the first is a ratio, while the latter is an index. Index numbers are values expressed as a percentage of a single base figure. Thus an FAR of 1.5 is translated as an FSI of 150%.
