14 May 2025 CW Team

SPAN FLOORS has launched an exclusive engineered wood flooring collection designed specifically for staircases. Targeted at modern Indian homes, the new offering promises a blend of timeless design, comfort, and safety—presenting a refined alternative to marble.

Engineered using a multi-layered structure with a real hardwood top and cross-laid wooden core, the flooring ensures high dimensional stability and durability. Unlike marble, which is cold and slippery, the wood offers warmth and grip—making it ideal for homes with children or the elderly.

“Our engineered wood flooring brings a sense of warmth and richness that marble cannot match,” said Satinder Chawla, Managing Director, SPAN FLOORS. “It offers enhanced safety, comfort underfoot, and long-term durability.”

The new range is available in a variety of species, textures and finishes, and comes with matching stair nosing and trims for a cohesive look. Sustainably sourced and designed with minimal hardwood usage, it aligns with SPAN FLOORS’ commitment to responsible living and conscious design.
