Generally bamboo is used which can not be called as timber because it is a grass. Hardwood flooring can be divided into two types Unfinished and Prefinished Flooring. In unfinished flooring, you can impart your own creativity to the floor with the color of your choice. They can be succumbed to further change if needed, i.e, the color and the style can be changed depending upon the users wish. They have considerably less durability and their cost is higher. In prefinished flooring, once done, its style and color can not be changed and they have relatively higher durability. They can withstand upto 20 to 25 years as told by engineers. The installation of unfinished flooring is easier compared to the prefinished flooring. Laminate flooring is another type of flooring. This is called so because it is produced after a process called as lamination which is a fusion process. This type of flooring normally resembles the hardwood flooring except the fact is formed by a decorative layer kept under a transparent protective layer. Under these two layers lies a layer made up of melamine and below this layer is the layer made up of fiber which is the fundamental layer. The last layer is sometimes a layer of glue for installation.
