Harmonious World of Wood
Suresh Kumar Mansukhani, Country Manager, Indian Sub-Continent, Junckers Solid Hardwood Floor
Crafted from the single fragment
of timber, wood floors are the
personification of traditional
flooring, offering elegance and feel
which is simple unmatched. Wood
inspires. Wood comforts. Wood
awakens your senses. In any living
space, it’s presence is a real source of
pleasure. When one is looking for a
freshening look and to sprucing-up the
interiors solid wood flooring offers the
best solution. Floor is one of the most
important aspects of any living space
as it determines the personality of the
owner and his aesthetic value for the
products he uses. Solid hardwood
under the feet is a sensual pleasure.
Pleasing to the eye, karmic to the soul
and naturally warm to the touch. In any
living space, it’s presence is a real
source of pleasure. Earlier people used
to consider Granite and Marble as the
best option for floors, but now the
awareness about hardwood floor is
picking up and people today are
demanding hardwood floors as these
are sustainable, with the perfect
combination of style and comfort
which will leave one spellbound, while
adding to the décor. They are a
fantastic option if one is looking for
authentic, luxurious trendy wood finish
for home.
In hilly areas of India or where the
climate generally remains cold, people
have been using wood for floor since
ages due to absorption of the low
temperature, which keeps the rooms
cosy. Similarly, in the hot season, real
solid wood floor retains the cooling
effect, thereby reducing the air
conditioning costs. Solid hardwood floor
has numerous advantages which makes
it a most sort-out flooring option. It is
the best form of flooring considering
the Indian climatic conditions, provided
it has a moisture control level of 8%
(depending upon species). The fixing
and installation of wooden floors come
with innovative technologies today like
the Clip Installation Technology. The
Clip Installation Technology not only
helps in the expansion and contraction
due to climatic changes, it also helps
in maintaining the gaps and the
aesthetic value of the solid wood
flooring. The manufacturing units who
are manufacturing such wooden flooring
today, also ensure that proper replantation
is done when trees are cut to
manufacture wooden flooring. This
ensures a green environment.
