agree  Henry Hinds: Sí, pues, yo usaría "pisos" pero no "suelos".

  -> Cierto. Creo que "suelos", con ese sentido, prácticamente solo se usa en España.

acabado/terminación de pisos


Explanation:
No de suelos, ya que este último termino se refiere al "terreno natural" antes que a la superficie que se construye sobre él.

agree  Sergio Campo: Oscar, en España a la "superficie construida sobre el terreno" se le llama "suelo". Por aquí decimos "el suelo de mi casa es de madera". Mi lengua materna es ES-ES, pero en mi respuesta también he dado la opción "pisos" (no sé para donde es la trad.)

acabado superficial para pisos/suelos


Explanation:
Yo le agregaría el concepto de "superficial". Por lo siguiente: cuando se reviste un suelo/piso con baldosas, madera, etc. eso ya de por sí es un "acabado" o "terminación". Pero si se reviste esto a su vez con una capa de pintura o de algún otro material que se aplica como "última mano", entonces es correcto hablar de "acabado superficial" o "terminación superficial".
Sólo una sugerencia. Por lo demás, coincido con las propuestas de los demás compañeros.
Y respecto de "piso/suelo", eso depende del uso local.
