Like you said, safes and stone blocks work ... many use the desks for they are easy to stack/ lineup and come in a variety of textured flavors. =)
Those are the most used, but I have seen bookshelfs placed close together used as floors.
Desks, benches and cabinets also, though if you are floating the floors you have to hide the legs or the look though bottoms.
The long tube lights on or off make interesting looking floors.
The best way of doing things is try what you want, make a test room, try out small test of what you want to use. Also go though the "post your base" threads on the forms here. If you see something that you like ask about how it was done in the thread.
Good luck.

Also, I've used the wall balconies as an upper flooring material... lining up the arches underneath made a very interesting effect for the lower level.

Have a look at the Screenshot Tour in my sig, if you'd like an extensive look at things like arcane wall platforms and bookshelves arranged in arrays for use as flooring. If you'd rather have a tour, so I can show you around and explain how things are done while you're standing on them, send me a PM here in the forums and we can set up a time.

It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...
I've used the Recessed tech Lights as flooring with mixed success, The top of them is slightly cone shaped, so you don't get the texture flickering that you do with most other stuff.
All that is planned fails. All that is born dies.
All that is built crumbles. This will always be true.
But memories remain, And that is beautiful.
Thank you all very much. I have been proceeding with my base and it is taking forever, but I'm learning as I go and enjoying the process. One step forward and two steps back 
Oh, I settled on Grey desks as my flooring material, which seems to work quite nice.

Just be aware that there is a limit on the number of items you can use in a base before it becomes unstable and crashes. Making floors is one of the most item consuming things to build.|

I think the limit is 12,000 but I could be wrong. Sure it sounds like a lot but you'll be surprised how quickly it adds up when you start adding rooms.
I have an apartment complex I built in a 3x3 control room in my base consisting of 3 floors that used 953 items and this Castle I used to have in another base took 3,005 items to build.
So I am pretty new at building. but am working on a 3D room layout. Can someone let me know what is a good floor material, something that isn't transparent on the bottom?
I've found safes and stone blocks can work. Is there others?
