I want to know the answer to the following question:
For what reason was asphalt used in the flooring of buildings?
All the background I'm provided with is that "For example, asphalt could also used for flooring, damp proofing in buildings, and for waterproofing of various types of pools and baths, with these latter themselves proliferating in the 19th century.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
