The English translation is "How do you make/manufacture floors (made) of...?

The inverted question mark before the sentence shows that it is a question allowing the reader to read it accordingly. Questions are spoken differently to statements and give the sentence a whole different meaning.

The reason for the inverted question mark is the proper and accepted way to write a question in Spanish. It is probably a heads up to the reader that it is a question so if you are reading out loud you will read it as a question without having to preread the sentence to know.

How do they make floors?

The inverted question at the beginning is just the proper way to write a question in Spanish.

The question asks "How do you build/make flats....?
In Spanish they use the inverted question mark before the sentence and the question mark at the end of the question. It is only Spanish puntuation.
