| Vitrified tiles | Lowest | Quickest to lay; no polishing |
| Marble tiles | Low to moderate | Laid like tiles, light polishing |
| Granite | Moderate | Hard-wearing; machine polishing |
| Indian marble (e.g. Makrana, Udaipur pink) | Moderate | Slab laying, grinding and polishing |
| Wooden flooring | Moderate to high | Laminate, engineered or solid wood on an underlay |
| Italian marble | Highest | Careful laying, more wastage, polishing and sealing |
