WOODEN FLOORING • Wood is a common choice as a flooring material and can come in various styles, colors, cuts, and species. • All types of hardwood floors have unmatched natural beauty and go with any decor — modern, traditional, country, you name it. • Hardwood flooring goes in any room, although kitchens and basements warrant special considerations. SOLID HARDWOOD • Solid hardwood floor planks are made from a piece of wood and made to be anywhere from 18 to 20 mm thick. • The boards are made with a tongue and groove to fit together for installation. • The harder the floor, the less susceptible it is to dings and scratches. • CONS • Solid hardwood will swell in moist conditions and contract as the area dries. The change of shape can alter the appearance of the floor and cause problems. Installation is a complex process, and for the best appearance must be done with great care. • This is the most expensive option for those shopping for wood floors. ENGINEERD HARDWOOD • Engineered hardwood is made using three to four layers of wood glued together to produce a 14 mm thick plank. • A real wood surface about 4 mm in thickness is applied to the top to allow it to be sanded and refinished a certain number of times to remove signs of damage, wear, and tear. • Engineered hardwood construction produces a more stable product. The greater stability means it is less prone to changes from temperature and humidity conditions in the room. This type of flooring is more attractive than a laminate floor but it is also less expensive than solid hardwood floors. • Depending on the style and brand, engineered hardwood floors will range anywhere from $2 to $11 per square foot. LAMINATE • Laminate is a cost effective option that will withstand a certain amount of wear. • For an easy installation, opt for click-lock. The planks will snap together and can be laid over other flooring. It is ideal for living areas, and some brands may even construct it with a waterproof core, allowing it to be used in areas where water may be an issue. • Depending on the brand and style, laminate will range anywhere from $0.50 to $6 per sq ft. • CONS • Top quality laminate will not match the look and feel of real wood floors. The areas where the planks join will wear considerably over time, and when damage sets in, it is not an easy repair. BAMBOO • Bamboo floors come from bamboo grass stalks prominent in Asia. • The floors are produced in China, and come in a variety of styles and finishes to suit various decor options. • Since it is a tropical grass as opposed to wood for trees, it is naturally resistant to moisture. The flooring is produced by pressing fibers together under high pressure. • Bamboo flooring is softer than traditional hardwoods, so it will not cause pain if it is stood on for long periods of time. The softness of the floor will also reduce noise. • environmentally friendly and an optimal choice for those who are looking to build “green.” • The cost for bamboo floors ranges anywhere from $2 to $8 per square foot. • CONS • Despite the fact that it is a durable type of flooring, it is more susceptible to dings and scratches than other wood floors. CORK FLOORING • Cork floors come for the harvest of the cork oak tree bark. These trees are widely grown in: Spain, Portugal, Algeria, Italy, Morocco, and Tunisia. • Environmentally friendly because cork is a sustainable and renewable resource. • The natural beauty of the material can suite any decor. The structure of the cork allows for a natural comfort and softness to absorb shock. • The natural properties of the material make it healthy because it is not only resistant to insects, but it is hypo-allergenic. • CONS • One of the drawbacks of cork flooring is the cost. It is more expensive than other wood flooring options. • The cost of import, plus material, plus installation is more than many budgets can handle WOODEN WALLS • WOODEN WALLS ARE NOT EXEEDINGLY USED IN KARACHI DUE TO ITS HIGH MAINTENANCE,COST AND HARSH WEATHER. • THERE ARE MANY TYPES OF WOODEN WALLS CLASSIFIED IN MATERIALS AS WELL AS INSTALLING. TYPES OF WOODEN WALLS SHIPLAP PANELING • Shiplap, which is usually laid horizontally, acquired its name as its panels overlap, with grooved boards called “rabbets” fitting together tightly to form a weatherproof seal. Shiplap is inherently informal and tends to make the most sense in cottage-inspired homes in need of the texture and the warmth of a natural material. It first came into popularity on home exteriors. TONGUE AND GROOVE: • Tongue and groove is very similar to shiplap and offers the same clean, classic look. The difference is in the way the boards connect; while shiplap panels are joined with a rabbet joint at the top and bottom of each board, tongue and groove paneling connects where the “tongue” of one board fits into the “groove” of another. • RECLAIMED WOOD: • Whether you utilize actual reclaimed wood or simply use new wood and make it look old, a wall of reclaimed wood paneling can add loads of texture to a space. • The stain color or finish you select will have a lot of sway on the final look. PLASTER WALL Plaster is one of the mot common kind of wall interior finish. Even though it originated in the mid 17th century even plaster of Paris is used extensively.
