Bengaluru: Squarefoot, a name synonymous with premium integrated flooring solutions in India, today launched their exclusive range of products for pergolas and for wood cladding on exterior walls to create a log cabin effect. The company is a leading provider of engineered wood, solid wood, outdoor deck and laminate flooring solutions.

Engineered hardwood flooring represents all the traditional aesthetics of solid hardwood, with an innovation of design that makes it very versatile. It comprises of several layers, the top layer being a species of real hardwood, engineered hardwood flooring is a robust flooring option that allows one to install their favorite color, cut, finish, and surface texture in areas where solid hardwood is not recommended.

The core layer of engineered hardwood is made up of pine and spruce woods, which allows the engineered flooring to expand and contract with changing temperature and moisture levels without affecting ones floor, the way a solid hardwood would be affected. Since monsoons are just around the corner and solid hardwood can sometimes be affected by the moisture levels in the environment but engineered wood floors stay unaffected by these climatic changes. Technically it is better suited to humid areas of the country. Owing to the solid wood top layer, engineered wood flooring improves with age because it acquires a desirable grace over time.

Squarefoot customizes their engineered range of products as per the clients’ requirements. They are fairly easy to install as the boards can be installed on foam and plastic and on top of the floor and stuck to one another using adhesive. This allows for hassle free expansion and contraction of the floor. Such floors are also very easy to maintain as it has been customized to suit the Indian cleaning methods like washing the floors using a well wrung out cloth, or swept. However, wet mopping or using too much water on the wood is not recommended. Its durability is guaranteed by Squarefoot’s exclusive technology that preserves the natural beauty of the wood and also conditions the product to harsh outdoor usage.

Since Squarefoot customizes the engineered wood products according to the customers demands or requirements, the price range starts at Rs 400 onwards plus taxes.

Gaurav Saraf, Director, Square Foot, Bangalore said, “Engineered wood flooring today is becoming more and more popular as natural resources are depleting for actual solidwood flooring. The designer hand crafted range ensures that people get a perfect choice of colour and texture, making their homes more warm and cosy. The products come with a special brushing making it more scratch resistant as well .”
