Wooden flooring has become a favourite choice in Indian homes because it adds warmth, comfort and a premium look. Whether you’re updating a room or planning a full renovation, choosing the right wood floor can make a big difference. At Kantilal and Sons, we help families, architects and designers find flooring that fits their style, budget and long-term needs.

This guide will walk you through the types of wooden flooring, pricing, care tips and the top brands you can trust.

Types of Wooden Flooring

Solid Wood Flooring

Made from one piece of natural hardwood. It looks rich, feels premium and can be polished many times. Ideal for people who want long-lasting quality.

Engineered Wood Flooring

Built with multiple layers of real wood. It is more stable in humid and warm climates, which makes it suitable for most Indian homes.

Laminate Flooring

A budget-friendly option that gives a wood-like look. It’s tough, easy to install and good for high-traffic areas.

Bamboo Flooring

Strong, stylish and more eco-friendly. It works well in modern homes and lasts for years with proper care.

Wooden Flooring Price Range

Prices vary based on type, thickness and brand. Here’s a simple idea of what to expect in India:

• Solid Wood Flooring: ₹400 – ₹1,200 per sq ft
• Engineered Wood Flooring: ₹300 – ₹800 per sq ft
• Laminate Flooring: ₹80 – ₹350 per sq ft
• Bamboo Flooring: ₹250 – ₹600 per sq ft

Installation costs usually come separately depending on the room size and finish.

Several factors change the price of wooden flooring:

• Type of wood (teak, oak, walnut, maple, etc.)
