Italian term

"a correre o a fuga allineata"

Italian to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering Posa di pavimenti
In an inspection form for the construction of shops it is said that the floor can be laid "a correre o a fuga allineata". I have found "running" for "a correre" (????? is it right?) but absolutely nothing for "a fuga allineata". Any help is welcome. Thanks in advance

Trapacciuolo (asker) Sep 18, 2014:
It might, I guess
Tom in London Sep 18, 2014:
might it be concrete flooring?
Trapacciuolo (asker) Sep 18, 2014:
I don't think the form refers to one specific floor. The company builds shops, so it's something they will use for a lot of different shops and a lot of different floors
Trapacciuolo (asker) Sep 18, 2014:
No, no mention
Tom in London Sep 18, 2014:
and... does the document refer to particular types of material used for the floors?
Trapacciuolo (asker) Sep 18, 2014:
How the floor is laid. Other options are "flottante" "colla"
Tom in London Sep 18, 2014:
Still asking… And is this about how the floor is laid, or about how the measurements should be taken?
Trapacciuolo (asker) Sep 18, 2014:
NO. It talks about distances between the doors, distance between the shop floor and the road, etc. it's a form where the inspector has to take photos and measurements
Tom in London Sep 18, 2014:
Still asking OK, but does the document relate to something specific, such as hygiene?
Trapacciuolo (asker) Sep 18, 2014:
There's no mention of what kind of floor. The form is a general form where different options have to be ticked off
Tom in London Sep 18, 2014:
Clarification required What kind of floor are we talking about?

(strip) wood flooring placed lengthwise with irregular design

"Fuga" refers to different elements laid next to each other, creating a thin line between them. For the long dimension of the tile or the plank it's easy, you start form on wall and you end up at the other end of the room.
"A correre" means that the "transversal" (short plank dimension) joints are made wherever they happen to be, giving an irrregular design. "A fuga allineata" (or "cassero regolare") means that the short joints all happen simmetrically. A look at the link will explain better than my poor wording. HTH

continuously or in aligned sections with recessed joints

fuga = (in this context) a recessed joint created by placing thin wood or metal framing on an unfinished floor, pouring wet concrete (or concrete mixed with something else) into the framed sections, waiting for the floor to dry, and then removing the framing. The gaps are "fughe" (recessed joints as in my suggestion).

In the absence of any more detailed information my suggestion is about 75% guesswork !

Floors are laid in this way when the area is too large to be all poured in a single operation, or for aesthetic purposes (e.g. each section might be a different colour)

Of course it might not be a wet-laid floor (e.g. in concrete) but there's a reasonable possibility that it might be.
