3D Flooring - The Latest Flooring Fad

If you have traveled around the world, you might have seen amazing themed hotels, restaurants, shopping malls, office spaces and more. If you have wished for a similar living room, bedroom or bathroom, you can opt for the coolest kind of flooring - 3D floors, which bring your dream world right into your home. Read to know what exactly 3D flooring is and how you can install it into any part of your house or office.

What is 3D flooring?

3D flooring is the latest fad in stylish interior decoration, which adds a splash of your favourite theme to your home decor. You can customize the designs as per your wish and have your room decorated as a forest, an ocean or anything else. It looks extremely impressive and very unusual. It uses latest technology, high-quality materials, supreme equipment, perfect skills and professionalism. This technique lets you create a sense of three-dimensional objects like meadows, oceans, stones, fishes, sharks, dolphins, etc. protruding from the floor.

What are the advantages of 3D flooring?

Apart from being the coolest and most stylish way for you to stay in trend and creating a highlight of your decor, 3D flooring has many other benefits too. The coating used in building 3D flooring is scratch-proof and resistant to any kind of mechanical damage, thus ensuring its durability. It is also stain-resistant, which makes it very easy to clean and maintain. It is dust-repellent and easily washable, which doesn't loose its colour for almost 15 years! The coating is also highly anti-static, meaning that it fails to conduct electricity. 3D flooring doesn't have any seams and joints and this continuity of the floor offers an even more realistic experience.

How can 3D flooring be installed?

First of all, the humidity of the area is checked to not exceed 4% or else, the floor will get peeled off within a few days of installation. Once the right kind of humidity is achieved, the process begins. On the concrete surface, an epoxy primer coating is applied, which binds the base with the 3D floor art. The next element used is putty, which aligns the primed surface and also embeds the irregularities in the surface. The next layer is the self-levelling floor, which can be done in any colour, the most common one being grey. At this point of time, the surface needs to be checked for any bubbles or unwanted debris. Next, a very thin layer of the selected image is printed on a self-adhesive vinyl sheet and glued to the floor. Finally, a transparent layer of epoxy coating is applied all over. It is very important to check for any specks of dust or unwanted elements, which if not removed now, can never be removed. All done! You have the most realistic perception of your favourite theme under your feet! But remember, to let the flooring rest for 2 to 3 days before stepping on it.

What is the average cost of installing 3D flooring?

Installing 3D flooring is obviously very expensive because of the high-end materials, equipment and labour used in building it up. On an average, it is five times more expensive than ceramic flooring and ten times more expensive than laminate flooring. The average price of a 3D floor design abroad at present is around $35 to 50 per square meter, depending on the complexity of the design and space it needs to be installed in. So, it is understood that this type of flooring is for those who are at the high-end because a middle class person can obviously not afford it.

People outside India are highly considering 3D floor art in their apartments, offices, restaurants and luxury boutiques. You can use this theme differently in different areas of your house. For example, you can have an oceanic theme in the bathroom, an abstract theme in your bedroom, a jungle theme in the living room, animated cartoons in the kid's room and a 3D version of your company's logo in your office.
