Specialty Flooring Selector
Beyond mainstream tiles, stone and wood. Tell us the space — gym, data centre, factory, food plant, hospital, office, driveway, terrace or heritage home — what matters most, indoor or outdoor and your budget, and get the right specialty / alternative floor with an indicative ₹/sq ft band and two alternatives. Costs are indicative ranges (material only, +GST and laying), 2026.
Your floor, in four steps
Use-case gate on: only floors fit for a home gym / fitness are scored (e.g. data centre → raised-access / ESD; food plant → PU-cement; driveway → pavers / stone).
We score the fitting specialty floors on durability, hygiene, cushioning, looks, value and eco, apply your priority and budget, and hard-gate out anything wrong for the use-case. Guidance, not a spec — confirm IS codes (IS 2571 for IPS, IS 15658 for pavers, IS 1443 for cement floors), slip ratings (DIN 51130 R9–R13) and ₹/sq ft with your vendor.
