Recently I realized that there's a type of wooden floor available in the game which can not be accessed through the build mode catalog. I noticed this when I was browsing through the room-style section, in living room.
The room specified in the picture in the first two available colors uses a floor that is simply not available in the build mode catalog. When I click on the floor, I can use the hidden floor in my house, but if I click on the dropper tool on it, I'm taken to the build mode catalog, but no specific floor is shown as selected.
I checked every single floor to be sure, and really, it's a hidden floor. I asked some friends to check on their games if the floor was also hidden, and they confirmed the same thing to me.

Try entering into the cheat bar

Then, press enter.
Then type into the cheat bar

Then in the search bar in build/buy mode, type in the word “ unknown”
See if the floor appears in build mode then.

I have looked in my game, and the flooring is called “ Kwality Wide Plank Flooring” and I am unable to find it in build mode either.

here is a mod that makes them available in bb.
picture of all of them:
I had a moment to look at this in-game.
Confirmed the only way to see this particular floor is to select it in this particular room.
The name of the floor is "Kwality Wide Plank Flooring"
Used the cheat I still could not find it.
It is helpful to the developers that you have posted that you also are unable to find the flooring in build mode, as well as extra flooring and wall textures pennypolendina.

I think # 4 & # 8 in the image are roofing textures. Not many people realize those particular ones double as flooring.
They are free as roofing texture but cost as flooring.
Wondering if some of these hidden things were part of base game at some point.
The hidden textures may have been in the catalogue and somehow now have been removed ? Or they may have never been listed there.

they were just unused. there are cas items that are also inaccessible without mods because they were unused.
i don't know why. i am pretty sure one of these floors is in the pancakes' house too. (i think it's the one op posted)
eta: not sure if unused is the right word.. cut maybe?
I checked in game and the same floor is used on the porch areas of the Pancakes house.

Guessing this would not be consider a bug or glitch.

Most of these textures are available using the show hidden objects cheat, but not all of them. I wish the rest were available.
4, 8, and 1 are roofing, 5 is foundation, 10 is both foundation and a base for more complicated wall textures. 11 looks useful, and I think I've seen people use it on YouTube, but I don't think I've seen it in the catalogue myself. Is it carpet? I'm pretty sure I've never seen 12 before at all, but maybe it's from a pack I don't have? 7 and 9 I've used. I'm not sure about 6 or 2, except I know there are wall textures that match 2.
In fact there's quite a few things in bb that could be unlocked, mostly as clutter.
We'll take a look.

the "not so drab slab", "gravel delite", and "my own corrugated castle" roofs (#5, #1, #4/8) are available via the roofing tool or can be found as tiles with hidden objects on.
normally, they are not available as tiles.
here is the mod maker's statement on this:
i could not find any of the other ones in game. i have checked debug and turned hidden objects on. do you know where you found them?
#9 is sand that is available as terrain paint, not as a tile.
#6 is the tile that is used on ceilings.
#11 is a dirt wall that matches the "bottom of the basement" tile found in the catalog. there is a similar wallpaper in the catalog named "martian soil".
#10 is similar to the wallpaper in the catalog named "urbanity", but i could not find this one with the holes in it.

Hello
They may perhaps be included to be listed in the catalogue in an upcoming patch.
