Solid Wood Flooring for Resorts, Hotels and Homes: Choosing the Species and Budgeting
· WisutWood, full-cycle solid wood factory in Surat Thani · Woodwork
In short: For commercial spaces such as resorts and hotels, choose a hardwood that stands up to foot traffic and humidity — for example Takhian Thong or Teak. Your budget depends on species × thickness × area (sq m) × milling labour. Get a real price instantly on our woodwork estimate tool, using the same formula our factory quotes with.
Why resorts and hotels still choose solid wood
In guest-facing areas, solid wood gives a warmth and premium feel that synthetic materials struggle to imitate. And when the surface wears or fades, solid wood can be sanded and refinished many times — unlike laminate or composite, which must be replaced. For a business where the floor takes daily traffic, that longer life is real long-term value.
Choose the species for the use
| Species | Strengths | Best for | Availability at WisutWood |
|---|---|---|---|
| Takhian Thong | Hard, moisture-resistant, good termite resistance, attractive grain | Guest-room floors, lobbies, indoor walkways | In stock |
| Teak | Highest durability, resists water/sun/termites, very stable | Premium work, damp or semi-outdoor areas | On request / sourced |
| Sadao Thiam | More affordable, lighter | Tighter budgets, moderate-use areas | In stock |
Semi-outdoor areas and seaside balconies call for species that handle sun and moisture especially well — treat those as a separate decking system.
What drives the flooring budget
- Species — premium hardwoods cost more per cubic foot than everyday hardwoods.
- Thickness and board width — thicker/wider boards use more timber and milling labour.
- Total area (sq m) — board count plus an allowance for cutting.
- Planing / milling labour — boards longer or thicker than standard ranges add labour by difficulty.
Because WisutWood is a full-cycle mill — from sawing to planing — we can estimate down to the board. Enter your room size or board count in the estimate tool and get timber volume (cu ft), material cost, labour and the total at once.
Before you order
- Woodwork ships planed and unfinished — finish can be damaged in transit and boards need trimming on site, so your own team installs and finishes/coats after laying.
- Quoted prices exclude delivery and sub-floor joists.
- We manufacture and deliver — no on-site installation or finishing.
