Calculate boards, boxes, and total cost for solid or engineered hardwood. Includes waste factor for cuts and pattern.
भारत में
Engineered wood: ₹150-400/sq ft। Laminate: ₹50-150/sq ft। Solid teak: ₹300-800/sq ft। Vinyl (LVT): ₹80-200/sq ft। +10% wastage। Indian climate (humidity + termites): engineered/laminate safer than solid wood। Pergo, Greenply, Century: popular brands।
Installation
Floating (click): DIY-friendly। Glue-down: professional needed। Indian humidity: floating installation with moisture barrier recommended।
Acclimate hardwood flooring for 3-5 days in the room where it will be installed. Stack boxes with spacers between them so air circulates. This allows the wood moisture content to equalize with the room, preventing post-installation gaps or buckling.
