Frequently Answered Questions

What types of flooring does Chalista supply and install in Uganda?

Chalista Floor Solutions supplies and professionally installs a comprehensive range of commercial and residential flooring across Kampala and Uganda. Our surfaces include waterproof SPC rigid-core planks, commercial luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) and sheet vinyl, heavy-duty laminate, natural hardwood parquet and solid strand-woven bamboo, UV-stabilized artificial grass, outdoor composite decking, vulcanized gym rubber tiles, and our flagship modular carpet tiles.

What is SPC flooring and is it really waterproof?

SPC stands for Stone Plastic Composite. It is manufactured from a blend of natural limestone powder and polymer stabilizers, containing zero wood fiber. Because the rigid core does not absorb water, it will not swell, buckle, warp, or rot when exposed to surface spills, wet mopping, or concrete subfloor dampness. This makes SPC ideal for Kampala's humid climate, kitchens, basements, clinics, restaurants, and busy commercial spaces.

What is the difference between SPC, luxury vinyl (LVT), and laminate flooring?

The primary difference lies in the core construction. SPC features a rigid limestone-polymer core that is 100% waterproof and highly resistant to indentation. Luxury vinyl (LVT) has a flexible PVC core that provides slightly softer underfoot comfort and acoustic damping. Laminate features a high-density fiberboard (HDF) wood-based core that offers authentic timber aesthetics and high scratch resistance, but requires protected dry environments.

Which flooring is best for offices and commercial spaces in Kampala?

For open-plan corporate offices, call centers, and boardrooms, modular carpet tiles are the industry standard due to their 24–31 dB acoustic sound absorption, individual tile replacement, and underfloor cable access. For high-traffic reception areas, corridors, and clinics where liquid spills or wheeled trolleys occur, SPC rigid-core planks and commercial sheet vinyl provide the best combination of hygiene, slip resistance, and durability.

Which flooring is best for humid or wet areas in Uganda?

SPC rigid-core planks, commercial resilient vinyl (LVT/sheet vinyl), porcelain tiles, and exterior composite decking perform best in wet or humid conditions. Unlike standard wood or laminate, these materials do not swell from humidity fluctuations or water contact. We also apply moisture-barrier primers and self-leveling screeds to prevent ascending moisture from concrete slabs.

How much does flooring cost in Uganda?

Flooring costs in Uganda depend on the material type, product specifications (such as plank thickness, wear layer gauge, and backing type), total square meterage, subfloor condition (whether diamond grinding, moisture barriers, or self-leveling screed are needed), and site location. Chalista provides free on-site room measurements and transparent, itemized quotes across Kampala without hidden fees.

Do you supply only, or supply and install?

We provide full turnkey supply and installation, supply-only delivery for independent builders, and professional installation-only services for clients who have already purchased or imported their flooring materials from abroad or another vendor.

How long does flooring installation take?

Project duration depends on room size, layout geometry, and subfloor preparation. For in-stock SPC planks, luxury vinyl, or carpet tiles on a pre-leveled subfloor, standard residential or office rooms (50–200 m²) are typically completed within 1 to 2 working days. If subfloor grinding or self-leveling screed is required, an additional 24 hours is allowed for screed curing.

Do you supply artificial grass for gardens, playgrounds, and sports areas?

Yes. Chalista supplies and installs multi-tone landscape artificial turf (25mm to 40mm pile height) with integrated UV inhibitors engineered for East Africa's equatorial sun. Our turf features perforated backing for rapid rainwater drainage and is widely installed across residential villa gardens, rooftop terraces, school playgrounds, putting greens, and commercial hospitality areas.
