How much are you willing to invest?

A wooden floor is an investment in your space. Durable, easy to clean, elegant and soft underfoot, it adds warmth and sophistication to any space. A high-quality engineered wood or a solid wood floor can enhance the value of your property.

Adding wooden flooring to your space is always a worthwhile investment, but depending on your budget, you may want to consider which type of wooden flooring is most suitable for you.  

If you're looking for a pocket-friendly wooden flooring solution, laminate wooden flooring offers a lovely finish at a smart price-point, making it excellent value for money. However, it has a lifespan of around 10 years, after which you need to re-lay it.  

Engineered wood is slightly more expensive, but extremely durable. Engineered wooden flooring can also be refinished, adding to its longevity. Looking for a floor that will last for generations? Engineered wooden flooring or a solid wood floor is an excellent choice.

Will the climate take a toll?

Hot and humid? Heavy rain? Extreme temperatures?  

If these are factors that affect your environs, you may want to evaluate what type of wooden flooring is best suited for you.  

Laminate wood's high-density core is extremely tough, making it very resilient, and the backing layer is engineered to prevent it from warping. While it is an excellent option for cool, dry climates, it is not entirely waterproof and may not be ideal in areas where one experiences heavy rainfall and moisture. Our newly launched water-resistant laminate ensures that water spilled for upto 72 hours on top does not affect laminate flooring keeping the fear of water spillage away

Solid wood is extremely durable, and these floors can last for generations if they are well looked after. Solid wood floors are extremely low maintenance and can be refinished multiple times, giving them a longer lease on life. However, the floorboards may have a tendency to expand and contract in extreme temperatures or heavy humidity. Depending on the weather conditions, you need to choose the kind of wood that suits the climate best. Square Foot brings you an array of natural woods from across the planet, such as Teak from South East Asia, Oak from Europe, or Walnut from North America, which suit different climatic conditions.

Engineered wood, on the other hand, is extremely durable, but it is always a good idea to let the wood sit in your location for a few days so that it adapts to the climate, before you lay it on your surface. However, once it has acclimatised, engineered wooden flooring is extremely durable, a long-lasting and sustainable wooden flooring solution.

What sort of space would you like to lay your wooden floor on?

Indoor or outdoor? At Square Foot, we offer wooden flooring solutions for both interior and exterior uses.

Our outdoor wooden flooring is an amalgamation of bamboo fibre, high-density polyethene, and chemical additives. This product can be recycled and is extremely eco-friendly. Its brushed surface makes it slip-resistant, offering excellent traction underfoot in areas such as pool decks, gardens and waterfronts. Our coextrusion deck requires no maintenance and at the same time ensures that any food spillage like oil or drinks on a deck don't stain it.

Key Advantage? Our outdoor wooden flooring is specifically engineered to withstand weather fluctuations, water damage, and wear and tear.

Wooden flooring is an ideal option in homes, offices and commercial spaces where there is frequent foot traffic. It is particularly well suited for fitness studios and gyms, as it is ergonomic and comfortable underfoot.

Pet-friendly or child-friendly? Laminate wooden flooring is an excellent option for homes, nurseries, or schools that have children or pets. It is extremely easy to sweep or vacuum, and a quick swab with a damp mop keeps it spotless.

Key Advantage? Laminate wooden flooring has a toughened outer layer to prevent scratches and scuffs, making it a hardy, durable surface.

Is design an important factor?

Bedroom or boardroom, a beautiful design is an expression of your creativity. At Square Foot, we bring you an infinite range of beautifully designed wooden flooring, carefully crafted from engineered wood. From Versailles to Basket weaves to mansion weave we have it all and can custom make your colour and designs as well.

Design wooden flooring comes as floor tiles with a user-friendly click-and-lock mechanism. It is simple to install and easy to maintain, ideal for spaces such as restaurants, hotels, and of course, your home. The click-and-lock tiles are extremely easy to fit, and the installation process is quick and hassle-free.

Key Advantage? Design wood tiles can be uniquely customised to suit your style and aesthetic.

Does sustainability matter?

Sustainability and circularity are growing considerations in several industries, and Square Foot's Ecofit click flooring is a Floorscore-certified Green product.

The stone core makes it an extremely stable surface, ideal for high-traffic areas like hospitals, hotels or public spaces, which have a heavy footfall. It is both sound- and shock absorbing, making it a terrific choice for airports, rail hubs, or large commercial spaces like offices or banks. It is extremely slip-resistant, making it a very safe option for large commercial spaces, and the ECOguard coating on the surface makes it very resistant to wear and tear, giving it a lasting finish.

Key Advantage? Ecofit click flooring tiles are manufactured using cutting-edge techniques, making them water-resistant and easy to install. While it has the charm and appeal of wooden flooring, it also has the durability and longevity of engineered wooden flooring, creating a surface that is the best of both worlds.
