The Importance of Red Oxide Flooring

 
Red oxide, Black oxide and other color oxide flooring, unique to Kerala, is back in flavor after falling from grace in the seventies. Many people from the northern India and abroad exclaim at the richness and velvety gloss of a well-made oxide floor. The best example of traditional red and black flooring is found in the 400-year-old Padmanabhapuram Palace in Thakkala. However, with the arrival of a multitude of flooring materials such as Marble, Mosaic, Vitrified and other floor Tiles, Red/ Black oxide fell out of popularity in the Seventies. Of what has became more or less a poor man’s flooring is now getting back its glory!
