PropGuide tells you more about this flooring and how you can bring it to your home:

What is 3D flooring?

• 3D flooring is an interesting combo of technology and comfort. It can be applied to different types of properties including homes, hotels, retail and even commercial space.
• A stylish variant for interior decoration, 3D flooring enhances the overall look of the existing furnishings, adding a splash of your favourite theme to your home decor. These designs can be customised.
• The most popular variety of 3D floor is liquid coating. Regardless of the total surface area, the 3D image completely covers the entire floor surface, be it a bathroom, living area or even a gym.
• You can choose from endless design options. 3D floor designs are artworks, offering a luxurious way of beautifying floor decor. 
• Seeking the help of modern technology and using high-quality materials, equipment, skills, and professionalism even the most complex designs can be brought to life.

Advantages of 3D flooring

• Seamless design: The most attractive feature of 3D flooring is the seamless design, which offers a perfectly flat and smooth surface without a single seam.
• Durable: The coating is resistant to mechanical damage, ensuring its durability. The flooring can easily withstand the weight of heavy furniture.
• Easy to clean and maintain: With 3D flooring you can forget about time-consuming cleaning. Polyurethane coating is dust-repellent and hence, is easily washable. However, wet-cleaning of the floor with a dry-cloth after wash is recommended. 
• Stain-resistant & anti-static: The polymeric coating of the floor makes it stain-resistant and highly anti-static in property.
• Hygienic: The lack of breeding ground calls for fewer bacteria, fungi and other germs. Thus, giving the much needed floor hygiene especially in families with small children.
• Aesthetics: Modern 3D floorings can become a highlight of any interior. Today, floors can be designed with different effects and images making use of your own imagination.

The process

A layer of self-levelling screed is laid followed by the desired image. This is then treated with a transparent two-component polymer to give the image depth. Finally, a level of protective lacquer is added.

The final result is a 3D image that gives a perception of a scene right under your feet, which almost looks real.

Average cost of 3-D flooring 
Given its advantages and customised exquisite designs, 3D flooring comes with an expensive price tag, too. The average price of a 3D floor design costs around $37 to $50 per sq mt, depending on the complex design as well as the space it being installed at.
