Wooden flooring has long been associated with elegance, warmth, and timeless beauty. Yet, many homeowners in the UAE hesitate to choose it because of misconceptions that have been circulating for years. At ZIYA, we believe it’s time to set the record straight. Here are five common myths about wooden flooring, and the truth you need to know.

Myth 1: Wooden Floors Are Too Expensive

Reality: While solid hardwood can be costly, engineered wood and SPC flooring options offer the same premium look at a fraction of the price. You can achieve a luxury feel without overspending.

Myth 2: Wooden Floors Don’t Suit UAE’s Climate

Reality: Thanks to modern technology, SPC and engineered wood floors are built to withstand heat and humidity. With the right installation, they remain stable and durable even in challenging conditions.

Myth 3: Wooden Floors Are Hard to Maintain

Reality: Forget about endless polishing. Modern wooden-look flooring options are stain-resistant, scratch-resistant, and easy to clean with just regular sweeping and mopping.

Myth 4: Limited Design Options

Reality: Wooden flooring today comes in countless shades, textures, and finishes. From light oak to deep walnut, or even patterned SPC that mimics marble, the choices are endless.

Myth 5: Not Eco-Friendly

Reality: Many wooden flooring options today are sustainably sourced or made using recycled materials. SPC flooring, for instance, reduces the need for cutting down trees while offering the same wood-like finish.
