Hardwood floors in Dubai
Natural parquet and hardwood floors are found in premium villas and apartments. In Dubai they need special care due to heat and humidity fluctuations. Air conditioning dries the wood — gaps and warping appear.
Common problems
- Scratches and worn lacquer
- Gaps between planks from drying
- Squeaking underfoot
- Stains and discolouration
Restoration methods
Sanding — removes old lacquer and the top wood layer, levels the surface. Lacquering — applies new protective coating. Oil or wax — more natural appearance. Individual plank replacement — for localised damage.
Hardwood floor restoration costs in Dubai
Sanding and lacquering: 60-100 AED per m². Gap filling: 20-35 AED per m². Individual plank replacement: 150-300 AED per plank. 20 m² room: 1,500-2,500 AED.
Important Dubai tip
Use UV-resistant parquet lacquer — standard lacquer fades in Dubai sunlight within 1-2 years. Dubai Vista restores hardwood floors using professional equipment.
