Oak Wood Flooring Installation in Kochi: Premium Quality & Professional Installation

Located off the coast of Kochi, Kerala - Westwood Floorings recently completed a residential project installing premium solid white oak wood flooring designed with authentic Balinese principles—featuring open-air spaces, natural ventilation, and seamless indoor-outdoor connections.

Why White Oak Wood Flooring?

To achieve this design vision, we selected oak wood flooring—a light-colored timber that reflects more light, making rooms appear brighter and more spacious. Light-colored oak wood flooring adds warmth and character, creating a welcoming atmosphere perfect for open-concept living.

The Challenge: Moisture Control in India's Tropical Climate

White oak flooring exhibits significant contraction and expansion in response to Kerala's seasonal humidity (40-95%). Installing 120mm wide planks requires specialized expertise to prevent dimensional instability.

Our Professional Solution: 4-Step Process

Step 1: Precision Kiln-Drying

We kiln-dried the timber to 11% moisture content, then gradually allowed it to reach Kerala's equilibrium point of 13.8%. This pre-installation stabilization prevents uncontrolled shrinkage.

Step 2: Subfloor Moisture Barrier (Bona H600)

We sealed the subfloor with Bona H600, a cementitious compound that:

1. Creates moisture barrier against infiltration
2. Prevents warping, swelling, and rot
3. Extends white oak flooring lifespan significantly

Step 3: Premium Adhesive (Bona Quantum)

We used silane-based Bona Quantum adhesive to:

1. Maintain plank adhesion despite humidity changes
2. Allow micro-movement without separation
3. Prevent squeaking and shifting over time

Step 4: Professional Finishing (Bona Traffic HD Raw)

We applied Bona Traffic HD Raw to:

1. Achieve unfinished look with professional durability
2. Create ultra-matte, natural-feel surface
3. Preserve authentic Balinese aesthetic
