French term or phrase: Tapis de sol
From a list of equipment in an insurance claim survey report for fire damage to a department store. The purchase cost was 400 euros. I found "groundsheet" in the dictionary, but can't see how it would apply here.

Any help appreciated. Here is more of the list:

Aspirateur, karcher
Charrette bois
Tapis de sol
Portant table de fouille
Portique viande
Cabine
Panier osier
Kit consommable
Presse plastique
Matériel inox, rayons trad
Aquarium
Détecteur faux billets
Compteur faux billets
