Malay Kedahs house has two types of floors which are common floor and seldom floor. Common floor is used for almost area of the house to support live load and dead load refers to the uses of the area. Lantai jarang (seldom floor) can be found in bedroom at rumah ibu used if there is any emergency, diseased, or death. Each of these planks will be closely arranged to avoid the interval between the planks

WALL

WINDOW

Traditional Kedah house only have one type of window. This type of window known as tingkap labuh. This window can be found at lepau and rumah ibu area and consists of 3 segments. These segments are formed from inflated plank panels. This window also built together with jerejak to avoid anyone from falling down onto the ground, especially children. Jerejak also have the function which allows air to flow into the house area and cool the house

STAIRCASE
The main stair is situated at the front of the house that is stair at the front door to the lepau. This stair was built with joint method. The total numbers of stairs must be in odd numbers because peoples believe it is symbol of luck for the house owner. In the Islam, we are practice to start the step with the right step, so if the stairs is odd in numbers, people who start with the right step will end also on the right step.

HIGH FLOOR AREA

Usually, floor design for a Malay traditional house was built higher than the ground level. With the higher floor area than the ground, the air that moves under the floor can cool the floor. Furthermore, it can prevent the house from water entrance during flood, attack of the wild animal and protecting the house from the thieves. This show, safety characteristics is the main factors besides providing comfortable in the house.
