VOX Installs SPC Flooring at Namrata Shirodkar’s Hyderabad Home

10 Feb 2026 CW Team

VOX has integrated its wood-finish SPC flooring at the Hyderabad residence of actress Namrata Shirodkar, adopting a surface-led approach that balances material performance with visual warmth across key areas of the home, including private interiors and balconies.

The flooring application draws on the familiarity and comfort traditionally associated with wood in residential interiors, translating travel-inspired influences—such as Swiss chalets and European hotel interiors—into a cohesive surface language suited for everyday living. The design supports a consistent interior aesthetic while grounding the spaces in warmth and usability.

VOX’s SPC flooring range, offered in a wide palette of finishes, combines visual depth with durability for long-term residential use. Engineered to respond effectively to Hyderabad’s fluctuating climate, the flooring provides stability and comfort with minimal maintenance requirements.

According to VOX, the installation reflects its broader approach to architectural surface systems, where lived experience, durability and performance guide material choices for residential environments.
