A variety of flooring material is available now in India which are best suited for bungalows in India. Among the vast variety of flooring material available there are quite a no of them which are cost effective, 1. Terrazo Flooring It is one of the oldest known flooring material used for doing flooring for houses. It is a mix of Aggregates of marble chips, granite chips or onyx chips mixed together with cement based bonding material mixed in proportion and laid directly on concrete unfinished floor to level. While it is still wet, it is leveled to slope as per the overall flooring design. 2. Ceramic Tiles Ceramic Tiles are one of the most economical types of flooring material and are certainly one of the best floor materials for bungalows due to their huge variety of colour, tone, pattern and finish. 3. Concrete Finished Flooring Bare concrete floors may not sound like the best floor material for bungalows, but with a little extra work they can become both beautiful and economical choices. Different aggregates and pigments can be added to the concrete to create a variety of textures and tones and the finished floor can be polished to create a wonderful contemporary surface that can reflect light and brighten up your home. 4. Vitrified Tiles Vitrified tiles are more expensive than ceramic tiles, but this type of flooring material offers more bang for your buck. Because they are stronger than ceramic tiles they can be installed without grout lines creating a smoother look and feel to your finished bungalow floor. Additionally with modern digital printing methods vitrified tiles can be produced with any pattern - natural wood, marble, or granite for example. 5. Laminated Wooden Flooring Laminated wood floors provide a great economical alternative to solid wood. These are produced with a very thin layer of an expensive natural wood that is then laminated onto cheap chipboard giving the illusion of a solid wood floor.
