Founder, material sourcingSouthern Cross Floors started in 2009 with one drum sander, a borrowed van, and a small list of residential refinishing jobs in Nagpur. What began as a two-person crew repairing worn teak floors grew into a studio that now handles custom inlays, engineered wood installations, and commercial projects across the region. The milestones below mark the decisions that shaped how we work today.

From a single sanding crew to a full-service flooring studio, our timeline tracks the decisions, tools, and people that shaped how we work today.
We started with two sanders, a rented van, and a small list of residential refinishing jobs. The early focus was simple: match the stain, protect the grain, and show up when promised.
As clients asked for options beyond solid oak, we added engineered wood sourcing and installation. This let us handle basements, radiant-heat rooms, and large commercial spaces without compromising stability.
After a lobby project with brass accents, we built a dedicated inlay workshop. CNC routing and hand-set borders became a regular part of our service, not a special request.
We invested in a small finish lab to test matte, satin, and low-VOC topcoats on actual plank samples. Every quote now includes a wear recommendation based on foot traffic, sunlight, and cleaning habits.
Our GhanshyamGunj showroom now holds over 120 oak, walnut, and engineered samples. Clients book a consultation, feel the grain, and leave with a written specification sheet before any work begins.
We launched a scheduled care plan for past installations: annual inspections, spot repairs, and re-oiling for matte finishes. The goal is to keep floors looking installed, not just installed.
Trusted by builders, designers, and property owners across Nagpur
Our flooring projects come together through close coordination with architects, interior designers, and construction teams who rely on us for material expertise and precise installation.
Local architecture studios send us their custom floor layouts, from herringbone living rooms to wide-plank office spaces. We handle the technical side: subfloor prep, moisture checks, and pattern alignment that matches their drawings.
Designers bring us their stain palettes and grain preferences for residential renovations. We supply sample boards, discuss durability for high-traffic areas, and adjust finishing techniques until the color matches the room's overall scheme.
Builders and renovation crews coordinate with us on scheduling so flooring installation fits into the broader project timeline. We arrive with the right tools, protect adjacent surfaces, and hand over a clean, walkable floor on the agreed date.
For commercial spaces and rental properties, we provide refinishing services that extend the life of existing hardwood. Property managers appreciate our straightforward maintenance guidance and the reduced downtime between tenants.
We source white oak, walnut, and engineered wood from established suppliers who share our standards for grain consistency and moisture content. This relationship lets us offer clients reliable material options with clear lead times.
