Kharshu Oak is being used mainly to make floor tiles because besides being economical, it helps to hide the scratches and dents better than most other hardwoods due to strong graining of Oak. Moreover, it absorbs stains very well, so it is easy to change the colour when you are refinishing the floors. Oaks are also considered the most preferred hardwood floors throughout world due to their high density.

​

Paneling is being made from softwoods like Fir/Spruce mainly. Other spp like Maples and Walnuts are also used for making tiles depending upon availability. The raw material for these is being obtained from the salvage timber of Temperate Forests of Kullu. Thus these are sourced locally from sustainably managed forests.
