Best Answer

Floors are for walking on, supporting other structures, pretty basic stuff. Dirt is and was likely the first flooring material, probably stone(s) came next. Floor coverings do just that, they cover & modify the usefulness of a servicable basic floor. the Hides of the animals we killed & ate & wood, stones & even baked clay tiles that we found under the fire pit all came next.

Today we use rugs, wood, Carpets, Ceramic, Stones & poured floors such as concrete as floors & floor covering.

I presume you mean floor coverings - technically, carpets are simply placed on floors like large rugs.
