Parquet vs. Laminate Flooring

Which is Best for Your Home in Nepal?

Introduction

If you are building a new house or renovating your room in Kathmandu, you have likely asked the question: "How much is the parqueting price in Nepal?"

In Nepal, the word "Parquet" is often used to describe all types of wooden flooring. However, there is a big difference between Real Wood Parquet and Laminated Flooring. At Carpenters Stop, we want to help you make the right choice for your budget and style.

Here is everything you need to know about the most popular flooring trends in Nepal.


What is the Difference?

  • Laminated Flooring (Most Popular): This is a synthetic product made of High-Density Fiberboard (HDF) with a photographic layer that looks like wood. It is famous in Nepal because it is affordable, scratch-resistant, and easy to install.
  • Solid Wood Parquet (Traditional): This is made from real pieces of timber (like Sisau or Teak). It is luxurious, natural, and can be sanded and re-polished for decades.

Which One Should You Choose?

Choose Laminated Flooring if:

  • You are on a budget: It gives you the modern "wooden look" at half the price of real wood.
  • You want it fast: We can install laminate flooring in a single room in just a few hours.
  • You have high traffic: Brands like Robina Laminated Flooring (AC4 grade) is scratch-resistant, making them great for living rooms.

Choose Solid Wood Parquet if:

  • You want luxury: Nothing beats the warmth and feel of real nature.
  • You want longevity: Real wood can last for generations if maintained well.
  • You dislike "clicking" sounds: Solid wood is quieter to walk on than laminate.

The Rising Star: SPC Flooring

Recently, we have seen a huge spike in searches for SPC Flooring in Nepal. This is an upgrade to laminate that is 100% waterproof. If you are worried about moisture or dampness (seepage) in your concrete floor, ask us about SPC options!

Final Verdict from Carpenters Stop

For most modern homes in Nepal, 12mm Laminated Flooring is the "sweet spot." It offers the best balance of durability, premium feel, and affordable pricing.
