The word substrate comes from the Latin  sub - stratum  meaning 'the level below' and refers to any material existing or extracted from beneath the topsoil, including sand, chalk and clay. [1] The term is also used for materials used in building foundations or else incorporated into plaster, brick, ceramic and concrete components, which are sometimes called 'filler' products.
