Greenply Industries Limited, one of India’s leading interior infrastructure companies, has launched what it describes as India’s first laminate wood flooring featuring High Density Moisture Resistant (HDMR) core technology, aiming to address moisture-related concerns in conventional flooring while catering to the growing demand for contemporary wood-inspired interiors.

Positioned in the mid-premium to premium segment, the new Greenply Laminate Flooring range combines moisture resistance, wood-inspired aesthetics, easy installation and minimal maintenance. The company said the innovation has been developed keeping in mind India’s diverse climatic conditions, including high humidity, extreme temperatures and seasonal rainfall.

Moisture accounts for approximately 55 per cent of damage to wooden flooring in India, making it a significant concern for homeowners and commercial establishments. Improper installation, excessive wet mopping, mechanical impact and biological decay are among the other factors affecting flooring durability.

The newly launched range incorporates an engineered HDMR core designed to resist moisture, alongside water-resistant and fire-resistant properties and antimicrobial and antibacterial features. Its easy-to-clean surface is intended to reduce maintenance requirements, particularly in Indian households exposed to dust, frequent cleaning and everyday spills.

According to the company, installation of the flooring across 1,000 square feet can be completed in approximately six to seven hours, subject to site conditions, without requiring adhesive or curing time. Its floating-floor installation system also allows dismantling and reinstallation, subject to product guidelines.

The collection offers a wide selection of wood-inspired designs, including different oak varieties, Nordic-inspired lighter shades and darker finishes. Available in classic plank, long plank and herringbone formats, the range comes in abrasion resistance grades AC-3 to AC-5, with thickness options ranging from 8 mm to 12 mm.

Commenting on the launch, Sanidhya Mittal, Joint Managing Director, Greenply Industries Limited, said the company aims to redefine consumer expectations from laminate flooring by combining contemporary aesthetics with enhanced functional performance.

He said wood-inspired flooring was increasingly becoming an integral part of modern interiors, but its appeal needed to be matched by durability and performance under everyday Indian conditions. The new offering, inspired by Western aesthetics and emerging global trends, reflects Greenply’s ambition to expand beyond conventional product categories and provide dependable interior solutions.

The company has announced residential warranty coverage ranging from 10 years to a lifetime against stains, fading, wear and tear, depending on the product grade. The AC-5 range carries a lifetime residential warranty, subject to applicable terms and conditions.

The flooring is designed for residential, commercial, hospitality and HORECA applications. With the launch, Greenply seeks to strengthen its presence in the premium interior solutions market by introducing technology-led flooring products that combine design flexibility, convenience and durability.
