Choosing the Best Place for Hardwood Flooring in Dubai
When it comes to getting the best hardwood flooring in Dubai, we’ve evaluated the stores on the following factors:
1. Woodfloors.AE
| RATING | |
| FACILITIES | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| FLOORING | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| ⮕ VARIETY | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| ⮕ INSTALLATION | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| CUSTOMER SERVICE | ★★★★☆ (4.5/5) |
| ⮕ PROFESSIONALISM | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| ⮕ COMMUNICATION | ★★★★☆ (4.5/5) |
| ACCESSIBILITY | ★★★★☆ (4.5/5) |
Billing itself as a one-stop-shop for wood flooring, Woodfloors.AE supplies a good number of flooring materials. They also offer other related products from primers, oils, sanding machines, and even nailing machines.
They even carry a lot of popular brands from all over the world, including names like Glamora, Berry Alloc, and many others from places like Germany, Austria, and the USA.
You can easily count on them to install hardwood floors and we appreciate the variety in the samples they showed. We think they have a decent enough spread to accommodate all sorts of home interiors.
Additionally, they can even supply hardwood to other accommodations such as a ship deck or even in the interior flooring of a yacht.
Installation service was quite amazing and professional. Woodfloors was able to send a team to survey the house and see if everything was in order and whether the chosen flooring type works well with the interior.
Additionally, they also have a good process of delivering the wood in advance prior to installation, giving it a chance to acclimate to the inherent temperatures in the property.
It is an additional step to the installation process but in our opinion, this is a good step since it helps catch any problems related to moisture and humidity early on.
While the company is quite good at communicating on this front, we think they can have some minor improvements to the scheduling process. Some customers have reported finding it a bit difficult to reschedule installation and delivery.
It’s also a bit pricier due to the brands they work with. Nonetheless, the variety of options as well as thorough installation service is worth the money in our opinion.
As such, we recommend checking out Woodfloors.AE for your hardwood flooring needs. Remember that you can count on them to help with luxury vehicles as well, if you have them, which can be really helpful and convenient.
Pros
- Versatile applications for their products
- Great installation process
Cons
- Some products are on the pricier side
- Scheduling can be difficult at times

2. Floorworld LLC

| FLOORING | ★★★★☆ (4.5/5) |
| ⮕ VARIETY | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| ⮕ INSTALLATION | ★★★★★ (5/5) |

Floorworld LLC is a popular storefront for builders looking to buy branded flooring options, with both a mix of local and European brands available in their store.
They also act as a one-stop provider, offering installation services that streamline all the communication you need when it comes to the actual construction.
In line with their company name, you can get a wide range of flooring options at Floorworld. If hardwood flooring is not your thing or if it doesn’t fit your particular vision, then you can easily pivot to a different material.
Additionally, the store also offers some samples you can check out, granting you even more options to consider. A lot of them are also readily available, making it easier for you to secure the stock you need.
While an overabundance of choices may seem intimidating, we found the consultation offered by Floorworld to be helpful in getting past this hurdle. Their people can offer insights as to what material and look fits your home best.
Consultation is also free, which we think is helpful for first-time builders looking to make improvements to their room or house.
We think they could use some improvements in their phone responses though. While the installation team arrived on time and was able to finish the work within the allotted time, updates took a bit of time.
We also think the showroom can be quite busy at times, making it harder to secure a parking spot. If you’re thinking of visiting, we recommend stopping by earlier or a bit later in the day.
Overall, Floorworld is a good, popular option for hardwood flooring in Dubai. We definitely recommend checking out the samples at their showroom to see their options.
Pros
- Wide range of flooring options
- Offers a free consultation for your home interior
Cons
- Phone service could use some improvements
- Can be quite crowded at times

3. Nahar.AE
| RATING | |
| FACILITIES | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| FLOORING | ★★★★☆ (4.5/5) |
| ⮕ VARIETY | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| ⮕ INSTALLATION | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
| CUSTOMER SERVICE | ★★★★☆ (4.5/5) |
| ⮕ PROFESSIONALISM | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| ⮕ COMMUNICATION | ★★★★☆ (3.5/5) |
| ACCESSIBILITY | ★★★★☆ (4.5/5) |
Having been in business since 2002, Nahar is able to leverage their experience and network to supply all sorts of wooden flooring and outdoor decking for residential and commercial establishments.
They primarily deal with parquet floorings from top brands and manufacturers from Malaysia, Japan, and even from the UK. We think this can go a long way in helping assure interested clients regarding their stock quality.
Alternatively, you can also use their wood for decking in order to improve the outdoor sections and even around your pool if necessary. They even provide the necessary finish and moisture protection which we think is quite convenient.
In our experience, they can be a convenient option when looking for more ‘niche’ wood flooring options, such as specific Japanese wood or milboards imported from the UK. They have a reliable network to keep these items in circulation.
Of course, we did find it hard to keep track of which items were in stock and which ones were unavailable at times, due to the sheer number of options. We think they need to be a bit more proactive in providing updates when we call on the phone.
Other than that, their staff was very pleasant to work with. They were very detailed when it comes to showing and explaining the different finishes their wood comes in.
The imported items and professional service does come with a premium on price though, especially with some wood types. We think this is something to keep in mind when working with a budget.
Still, we recommend checking out the products on offer at Nahar. You might just find the right wood type at the right price that fits perfectly within your home.
Pros
- Good for niche products and wood types
- Very polite and professional staff in-store
Cons
- Prices are on the expensive side for some items
- Needs some clarification regarding stock updates
Customer Reviews

4. Lobo & Listone Design & Decor Technical Services LLC
| RATING | |
| FACILITIES | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| FLOORING | ★★★★☆ (4.5/5) |
| ⮕ VARIETY | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| ⮕ INSTALLATION | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
| CUSTOMER SERVICE | ★★★★☆ (4.5/5) |
| ⮕ PROFESSIONALISM | ★★★★☆ (4.5/5) |

| ACCESSIBILITY | ★★★★☆ (4.5/5) |
Lobo and Listone positions itself as a one-stop shop for all your interior design needs. They take on a lot of aspects regarding your home design, ranging from flooring, walls, and even lighting.
They offer a wide array of hardwood flooring, laminates, reclaimed wood, and even vinyl coverings, in addition to other interior services like pergolas and even smart, stylish lighting both inside and outside your home.
They have an in-house design centre staffed by qualified designers, who are always willing to help out with your wooden flooring needs.
We found the designers to be quite polite and flexible, working well with their clients in order to find a design or pattern that best suits your home.
They also offer some installation services, and not just for flooring either. You can count on them to fit customised doors, build kitchens, and even design your wall if you like.
Given the customised nature though, we found that they do take some time to finish, longer than most other providers. Fortunately, it is all communicated well and the client is kept informed about the progress regularly.
We did find some of their prices to be quite expensive at least when compared to other providers however. The quality of service and the durability of the item is worth the money in our opinion but, this might be a big factor for budget builders.
You might want to compare and browse for other providers for a bit before committing to a more expensive installation.
If you are after a more ‘premium’ or modern look for your hardwood floor, then we definitely recommend checking out Lobo & Listone.
Pros
- Good variety of different finishes
- Very professional consultation services
Cons
- Prices are quite high compared to other places
- Installation takes some time

5. Floors Dubai
| RATING | |
| FACILITIES | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| FLOORING | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| ⮕ VARIETY | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| ⮕ INSTALLATION | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| CUSTOMER SERVICE | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |

Floors Dubai focuses primarily on their Herringbone and Chevron floor offerings, in addition to other products like access floors and paths. These tend to lean on more premium applications given their finish and durability.
Fortunately, they can be quite flexible when it comes to their pricing. Customers can easily approach them to find a way to keep costs to a more manageable level.
In our opinion, this does make them one of the more accessible installation services for hardwood flooring in Dubai.
Installation was very smooth and hassle-free. Floors Dubai partners with good installation experts who we found to be thorough when it comes to paying attention to client’s requirements.
They’re also quite proactive when it comes to addressing problems they found in the floor prior to laying down the hardwood flooring.
Floors Dubai also offers some benefits for their clients. For one, orders of AED 1,000 and above are entitled to free shipping to anywhere within Dubai and the other Emirates.
We think they can be a bit more responsive to customer inquiries though. For one, it takes around four to five days for them to respond to an email and there’s a long wait time when calling on the phone.
They also have strict refund policies, given the nature of the product. We think it’s reasonable but they do need to be a bit more thorough at explaining these policies.
Still, given their professional installation as well as their other benefits, we definitely think it’s worth giving Floors Dubai a try. You might just be impressed with the service on offer.
Pros
- Free shipping for all orders above AED 1,000
- Very proactive installation process
Cons
- Email is non-responsive
- Strict refund policies
