The floor surface inside the elevator car, designed for durability, slip resistance, and load bearing.
Full Definition
Car flooring is the walking surface within an elevator car, required to withstand concentrated loads from passengers, trolleys, and goods. Materials include natural stone, ceramic tiles, vinyl, carpet, stainless steel checker plate, and engineered wood. The floor must be non-slip under wet conditions and compatible with load-weighing devices installed beneath. Levelling accuracy requirements mean the floor must remain flush with the landing sill within tolerance. Accessibility standards mandate smooth, firm surfaces for wheelchair users. Weight is a consideration in overall car balance calculations.
