Solid Wood Parquet Flooring at Casa Grande Residence Jakarta
Solid wood parquet flooring at Casa Grande Residence: why it matters
The bedroom is where executives, entrepreneurs and expatriates with busy lives rest and recover. So the materials in it matter for comfort as well as looks. Casa Grande Residence, a project by Pakuwon Group in South Jakarta near Kota Kasablanka, uses solid wood parquet in its bedroom areas.
The article describes this as real wood throughout, not laminate and not vinyl printed with a wood pattern. Below we look at what that means for a tenant or buyer: feel, temperature, noise, cleanliness and long-term value.
Look and feel underfoot
Each piece of solid wood parquet has its own wood grain, so no two pieces are exactly alike. The natural colour softens the hard look of concrete and glass in a high-rise and suits many interior styles, from modern minimalist to Scandinavian and classic.
Walking barefoot on it also feels different. According to the source, it does not feel as cold as marble or granite in the morning, which makes getting out of bed more comfortable.
Temperature and noise: what to expect
Solid wood absorbs and stores heat very slowly. When the air conditioner is on, the floor does not turn icy like ceramic tile and stays neutral and warm to the feet. In the hot part of the day it helps stop heat from being trapped in the room.
Noise between floors is a common worry in apartment living, such as footsteps or dropped objects. The density of solid wood naturally dampens echo and blocks sound, both airborne noise and impact noise, which supports quiet sleep. When you view a unit, it is still worth asking the agent about noise in practice.
Health and cleaning
Many hotels and luxury apartments use wall-to-wall carpet in bedrooms. Carpet collects dust, dust mites, pet hair and other allergens, which is a concern for people with asthma or allergic rhinitis.
The solid wood floor has a flat surface with a scratch-resistant coating, so it resists dust. It can be cleaned by dry sweeping, vacuuming or mopping with a barely damp cloth. This suits families with babies or toddlers who play on the floor.
Durability, resale and rental appeal
Vinyl and laminate floors generally last 5 to 10 years and must be fully replaced when damaged. Solid wood parquet can last decades or even hundreds of years with proper care.
It can also be sanded and re-coated. If the floor looks dull or scratched after 10 or 15 years, it does not need replacing, and refinishing can bring it back to a look as new as the first day.
For landlords and sellers, the source says real wood raises the perceived value of a unit among expatriate tenants and second-hand buyers. It argues this supports a premium rent and quicker resale. As a tenant or buyer, treat that as a claim to test: compare the asking price with similar units and ask the agent to confirm current figures, since prices can change.
Sustainability
Wood is a renewable resource. The source states that its processing leaves a much lower carbon footprint than petroleum-based synthetic materials such as SPC or plastic vinyl. For residents who care about the environment, this fits an eco-luxury lifestyle.
