Rohboden / Fertigfussboden

English translation: unfinshed floor / finished floor

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:Rohboden / Fertigfussboden

German term or phrase: Rohboden / Fertigfussboden
"Rohboden oder Fertigfussboden"

Fertigfussboden I have tentatively translated as finished floor. But unfinished floor is not quite right. And "raw floor" also does not seem to hit it. I think what they mean is the floor, without any covering. What is the correct term for this?

TIA

Hello Alexander,

these are the terms given by Ernst & Sohn, Terms for civil engineers (which doesn't make them bible, of course!).

Thanks to all.
An special thanks for the confirmation that "unfinsihed" is after all correct. I wasn't 100% happy with it, but I won't argue with the experts.

Explanation:
It is a question. Does "finished floor" include final treatment or covering by "something"? In case that "finished floor" means that it was treated (penetrated), untreated would be OK.
