Even though wooden flooring is in vogue, it is also durable, easy to maintain, environment-friendly & extremely beautiful. It also offers excellent feel & foot comfort. Wood acquires character as it ages gracefully acquiring a warmer hue. The varied subdued reflection of light will give it a new life from hour to hour.

  

Laminated & finger jointed parquet flooring
Laminated & finger parquet flooring have smaller pieces or laminae which are finger-jointed together to produce longer strips. These longer strips are then edge-glued together to produce wider panels which are then cut to the respective size. The 4 edges are tongued & grooved for easy laying. The top surface is also lacquered with 5 layers of a very tough acrylic, UV lacquer for the hardness making it resistant to normal wear & tear and even to a certain level of physical abuse. The is very important as wear & tear occurs on the lacquer & not on the wood. The parquet can be either glued to the floor or it can be laid floating (without gluing on the underside). Also, after laying no additional sanding, finishing or waxing is required.

The resultant wooden flooring gives a natural feel & a unique appearance which is not available in conventional materials used such as marble, granite, carpets, etc.
