18 Different Flooring material suitable for Bungalows in India

A variety of flooring material is available now in India which are best suited for bungalows in India. Among the vast variety of flooring material available there are quite a no of them which are cost effective,


1. Terrazo Flooring

It is one of the oldest known flooring material used for doing flooring for houses. It is a mix of Aggregates of marble chips, granite chips or onyx chips mixed together with cement based bonding material mixed in proportion and laid directly on concrete unfinished floor to level. While it is still wet, it is levelled to slope as per the overall flooring design.

2. Ceramic Tiles

Ceramic Tiles are one of the most economical types of flooring material and are certainly one of the best floor materials for bungalows due to their huge variety of colour, tone, pattern and finish. 

3. Concrete Finished Flooring

Bare concrete floors may not sound like the best floor material for bungalows, but with a little extra work they can become both beautiful and economical choices. Different aggregates and pigments can be added to the concrete to create a variety of textures and tones and the finished floor can be polished to create a wonderful contemporary surface that can reflect light and brighten up your home. 

4. Vitrified Tiles

Vitrified tiles are more expensive than ceramic tiles, but this type of flooring material offers more bang for your buck. Because they are stronger than ceramic tiles they can be installed without grout lines creating a smoother look and feel to your finished bungalow floor. Additionally with modern digital printing methods vitrified tiles can be produced with any pattern - natural wood, marble, or granite for example. 

5. Laminated Wooden Flooring

Laminated wood floors provide a great economical alternative to solid wood. These are produced with a very thin layer of an expensive natural wood that is then laminated onto cheap chipboard giving the illusion of a solid wood floor.

In India this is not the best floor material for bungalows as many areas of the country have huge swings in humidity which will adversely effect the laminate causing it to crack and buckle as the expands and contracts. However if you live in a fairly dry part of the country this type of flooring material can still be a good choice. 

6. Natural Marble Flooring 

Although traditionally used in sacred temples and luxurious palaces, this type of flooring material is now a viable economic option for residential properties throughout India. Marble floors will give your bungalow a grand and luxurious feel.

5 Best Apartment Building Design by HomePlansIndia.com

The 5 best apartment building designs as per the number of flats which are accommodated to usual plot sizes in India.   Most of the floor plans and layouts work best as Ground + 2 or Ground + 3 floor apartment. It is more economical to have more number of flat units on each floor level rather than increasing the overall height of the building. Usually in India the setbacks for apartments is around 10 ft from the compound wall on all three sides except the front compound wall from which the apartment needs to have a setback of around 15 ft to 20 ft.
