nettoyer le pavage de la nef
On parle de "pavage" lorsque le revêtement du sol est constitué d'un ensemble de petits blocs de pierre, appelés pavés.
On emploiera le terme de "pavement" pour désigner des revêtements plus "luxueux", tels que de la mosaïque ou des dalles de marbre.
Voir, entre autres, les 2 réfs. ci-dessous pour le mot "pavage".

nettoyer le pavement de la nef
Inside a church, the floor tiles are mostly large one, hence "pavement".
Note from asker:
| Thanks for your help, but "pavement" is considered an anglicism in Canada. |
