Frequently asked questions
Laminate or engineered - what is the real difference?
Laminate is a photo layer on HDF; engineered has a real wood top you can sand once or twice. Both float over underlay.
Is wood flooring OK in Indian humidity?
Yes with quality boards and expansion gaps - avoid solid hardwood in coastal bathrooskirting-adjacent wet areas.
Can it go over existing tiles?
Usually yes - floating floors lay straight over level tiles, saving demolition cost.
