Wooden flooring is all the rage once again. But with so many varieties, shades, and finishes, finding one that’s ideal for your home can be a challenge. If you are looking for the best quality wooden flooring in India, here are five things to keep in mind.

 

  1. Go for Engineered Paraquet

Engineered parquet is not just better for dimensional stability, it is also resistant to variations in humidity making it a great choice for areas with wet climates. It allows for larger planks of equal thickness, which benefit both the look and performance of the floor, making for a superior finish on the product.

 

  1. Gluing or Floating Installation

Gluing is considered to be the more efficient way of laying down a wooden floor. The planks are attached to the base and the technique prevents warps while giving a deeper sound to footsteps. It is also highly recommended for homes with under-floor heating. If you prefer an easier DIY installation, choose the floating method which is also easier to remove. This type of support however will be less resistant to humidity and warps.

 

  1. Varnish or Oil Finish

Planks treated with oil make for a more natural and pleasant look. The oil penetrates deep into the wood and protects it from inside. Such treatment is used to ensure that the wood breathes in its natural way. On the other hand, varnish provides a protective shield to your floor which will make it more durable and long-lasting. It’s also easier to maintain and therefore, the more practical choice for luxury wood flooring in India.

 

  1. Look and Feel

Wood flooring comes in hundreds of shades and several varieties such as oak, walnut, teak, wenge and more. Choose a wood that goes with the style of your home with a shade that will complement your décor. Neutrals and greys are always a classic choice. Also pay attention to the grain and texture of the wood, as these will go a long way in creating the aesthetic of your space. You can find various options, from smooth textures to distressed and more.

 

  1. Finding a supplier

Choosing from a range of wooden flooring suppliers in India can be daunting. One of the key things to look out for is experience. Wooden flooring has many characters like dimensional stability, thickness, thermal resistance etc. which must be keenly understood to find the right solution for a space. An experienced dealer can help you make the right choice with their technical know-how and years of experience.

 

There are many wooden flooring distributors in India but there are few that have the expertise to guide you all the way from selection to installation and aftercare of your wooden flooring. Everything from the climate conditions of your area to physical sensitivities and spatial limitations of your room will influence the kind of wood floor you should choose.
