Floor Guide

There are a number of options that can influence the overall look, life expectancy, durability and cost. The information below may be a useful guide for refinishing your floors.

Please consider the actual use that you expect the floor to withstand – if you do have a dog that goes bonkers every time somebody comes to the front door and scratches the boards this needs to be considered!

Bathrooms – simple - don’t do it! The number of times I have seen this done and the client having problems with the floor failing is not funny yes, I know it looks great, but it simply does not work!

Kitchens, halls, bedrooms, reception rooms, nnnnnnnnnnnnn no problem!

Preparation: 

Fail to prepare and prepare to fail!! Corny I know, but so floor  true!

The sub floor the floor you are going to lay the wood onto needs to be dry. If in doubt check with the manufacturer or us for this flooring. It needs to be level  as a rule of thumb the floor should not have any high or low points of over 3mm in a 3 foot length. Wet trades painting and plastering, grouting  basically anything that needs to dry should be just that dry! Any central heating running should be working and tested, the room needs to be clear and the wood should be allowed to acclimatize prior to being laid. Acclimatization depends on the type and make of flooring, so find out! If in doubt check it out.
