Wooden flooring, often called parqueting (or parquet), remains the gold standard for adding warmth, character, and a touch of organic luxury to any space. In a country with a rich tradition of wood craftsmanship like Nepal, selecting a natural timber floor connects your home to a heritage of quality and aesthetic beauty.
Choosing solid wood offers unparalleled durability and the ability to refinish the floor many times, making it a truly lifetime investment.
Popular Solid Wood Flooring Options in Nepal
We offer a range of exquisite, seasoned local and imported woods, each with unique characteristics perfect for the Nepali climate and aesthetic.
| Wood Type | Key Characteristics | Best Use | Estimated Price Range (Material Only, Per Sq. Ft) |

Note on Pricing: Prices for solid wood flooring can vary widely based on wood grade (A-grade vs. mixed/cultivated), thickness (e.g., 6mm, 10mm, 14mm), and current market rates for seasoned timber. Installation, polishing, and materials like adhesive are charged separately.
Advantages of Choosing Solid Wood
- Refinishable (Sanding): Unlike laminate, a solid wood floor can be sanded and re-polished multiple times over decades to remove scratches and look brand new—a feature that provides immense long-term value.
- Natural Insulation: Wood is a natural insulator, providing a warmer feel underfoot during the cold Nepali winters compared to tile or stone.
- Acoustic Comfort: It reduces echo and provides a comfortable, softer sound in your living spaces.
- High Resale Value: Homes with real hardwood floors typically command a higher market price due to the quality and elegance they confer.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
- Moisture Control: Before installation, the wooden planks must be properly seasoned (dried) and the subfloor checked for moisture to prevent warping.
- Installation Process: The process involves careful leveling of the base floor, adhesive application, laying the planks in patterns (like herringbone or strip), and a final professional sanding and finishing/polishing.
- Aftercare: Clean with a dry mop or specific wood cleaner. Avoid excessive water. Depending on the finish, a simple re-polish every 5-10 years is all it takes to restore its original glory.
