Figure 6-71.-Toenailing wood finish flooring. side-matched;   that   is,   tongue-and-grooved   for edge-joining; some is end-matched as well. Wood flooring strips are usually recessed on the lower face  and  toenailed  through  the  subflooring  into joists,  as  shown  in  figure  6-71. In Navy structures, wood finish flooring has been  largely  supplanted  by  various  types  of resilient flooring, most of which is applied in the form  of  6  by  6,  9  by  9,  or  12  by  12  floor  tiles. Materials commonly used are asphalt, linoleum, cork,  rubber,  and  vinyl.  With  each  type  of  tile, the  manufacturer  recommends  an  appropriate type  of  adhesive  for  attaching  the  tile  to  the subflooring. On  other  areas  subject  to  a  high  degree  of dampness, ceramic or glazed interior tile is most commonly  used.  Ceramic  tiles  are  used  to  cover all or part of the bathrooms, shower rooms, and some  kitchen  floors. Doors Standard doors and combination doors (storm and screen) are millwork items that are usually fully assembled at the factory and ready for use in the building. All wood components are treated with  a  water-repellent  preservative  to  provide protection   against   the   elements.   Doors   are manufactured  in  different  styles,  as  shown  in figure  6-72. Exterior   doors,   outside   combination   doors, and  storm  doors  may  be  obtained  in  a  number of designs to fit the style of almost any building. Doors  in  the  traditional  pattern  are  usually  of  the panel  type  (fig.  6-72,  view  A).  A  PANEL  DOOR consists  of  stiles  (solid  vertical  members),  rails (solid   cross   members),   and   filler   panels   in   a number of designs. Exterior FLUSH DOORS use a   solid-core,   rather   than   hollow-core   type   to minimize  warping.  (Warping  is  caused  by  a difference  in  moisture  content  on  the  exposed  and unexposed faces of the door. ) Weatherstripping should  be  installed  on  exterior  doors  to  reduce both air infiltration and frosting of the glass on the storm door during cold weather. Flush doors consist  of  thin  plywood  faces  over  a  framework of wood with a wood block or particleboard core. Figure 6-72.-Exterior doors: A. Traditional panel; B. Flush; C.
