An installation floater is typically used to insure which of the following?

An installation floater is designed specifically to provide insurance coverage for materials and equipment that are intended to become a permanent part of a building or structure. This type of insurance protects these items while they are in transit and during the installation process, ensuring that they are covered for risks such as theft, damage, or loss prior to their incorporation into the property.

In this context, appliances that are intended to be installed permanently, such as built-in ovens or central air conditioning units, fall within the purview of an installation floater. Since these appliances are typically considered part of the structure once installed, they are specifically covered by this type of policy, which differentiates them from items that might be used temporarily or that are not meant to be attached to the property.

In contrast, the other choices refer to items that either do not have the same permanence associated with installation floater coverage (like landscaping materials, temporary structures, or tools) or do not apply directly to the permanent installation aspect that is key to the purpose of an installation floater.
