The key takeaways are that there are different types of wooden flooring such as solid hardwood, engineered hardwood, laminate and bamboo flooring. Each type has its own characteristics in terms of thickness, stability, cost and maintenance.

The different types of wooden flooring discussed are solid hardwood, engineered hardwood, laminate, bamboo, cork and wood walls.

Some pros of solid hardwood flooring are that it is hard and less susceptible to dings and scratches. Cons are that it can swell in moist conditions, is difficult to install and is the most expensive option.

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.

The compound can be used to stylize and mould


any shape to decorate your homes in varied
style, ranging from Victorian to French design.
BENEFITS
• Lends elegance and beauty to
wall.

• Enhance durability.

• Plaster walls are stronger in


comparison to other kind of walls.
DECORATIVE USES OF PLASTER WALL

• The interior plaster walls can be decorated through paints.


• We can also apply wooden panels or laminated sheets of wooden
• It can also be decorated by different techniques of plaster.
• Wall papers are pasted to make it more decorative.
