Hi Mohit, As you rightly said that in Indian climate best is stone (Marbles, granite, sandstone etc.. ) or tiles. Before suggesting you something I would like o know your location in India and would analyse your lifestyle. While Marble seems to be an obvious choice for many its not the best material always. It is also expensive and needs high maintenance and not a sustainable material. All materials have their pros and cons. Its true wood does not essentially work in most of the climates in India however I must make you aware that there are very nice wood looking tiles available. You get the best of both worlds- cozy look and robust wear and tear. If you wish to explore further with us we provide interior design advice at nominal fees.

Thanks One Plan for your recommendation. Would it be good to go for Herringbone pattern in hallway and in the open plan vinyl straight planks and then matching tile in the decking area. We have shortlisted karndean vinyl for open plan (Von Gogh Distressed Oak) althought not sure. Also what type of anti-slip material should I go for if I had to matching wooden look vinyl ?

Flooring materials can be different and you cannot use the same cleaning material for all,and of course, it always depends on the use of them.Although,you can clean the tile,marble or any surfaces by yourself but its recommended to consult the expertise of floor cleaning service provider because they are professional in that services.Along with the regular swabbing and sweeping,one also undertakes additional functions to ensure optimal cleaning.This includes waxing, burnishing,stripping,buffing,and scrubbing.Our friendly staffs provide High-speed polishing that will give your floors a professional shine.

Hello Rahul, limiting to your query on granite - It is quite a beautiful, natural and hard material. For applications in kitchen, store and balcony they would do good. There are some points you should consider for granite application - - Granite usually occur in dark shades so consider the lighting in the area of application. - Ask the vendor for iron content in any natural stone for avoiding rust marks. - The process of application and polishing is cumbersome but thank god in India, craftsmen are easily available. - Do not go for a elaborate gloss polish to avoid skidding/slippery floors. - It is also advisable to re-polish/reseal them every 3-5 years. Thanks, Nitin CORNERSTONE DESIGNS, Bangalore.
