Many thanks. I think this is probably the best way of distinguishing from "gulv" in the context in question.

neutral  David Young (X): not my field, but ordbogen.com gives "floor structure/flooring structure" for "etagedæk" - example given: "The floor structure is made of precast reinforced concrete."
