Dark Oak Engineered Flooring Installation

Before the installation works...

In this Wimbledon flat we installed approx. 27 sqm sqm of oak engineered wood flooring. During our obligation-free survey, we did detailed inspection of the floors and discussed with the client all possible options.

Our client has decided to go for floor fitting, beading installation, and install Duralay Excel Silver with solid oak scotia beading around perimeter.

How we completed the installation works...

One of the challenges we faced on this project is to complete the floor works in stages, due to furniture, which could not be moved out.

After our floor installers have checked all service, property & products details on site, including amount of products supply, they started with lifting existing parquet flooring and its preparation for disposal to our waste facility.

In this project we laid 27 sqm of engineered wood flooring, specifically - Duralay Excel Silver with floating installation, over original floorboards onto Duralay Excel Silver 3.7 mm underlay with DPM barrier .

When installing new floors an expansion gap of approx. 10 mm must be left on the perimeter. This gap is either covered by new skirting boards, or in case the old ones remain - scotia or quadrant beading will be installed around the perimeter.

In this project the client decided to go with solid oak scotia beading around the perimeter.

As per our initial assessment, the subfloor was prepared with floorboards refitting & local repairs before the floor works.

Due to the change of level, after the new flooring was installed - our experienced, local Wimbledon floor fitters made sure all affected doors & door frames are trimmed to height and adjusted to new flooring.

Overall the project was completed as planned and to the delight of the client.
