Before the works...

In this Wimbledon house we laid approx. 16 of oak engineered wood flooring. During our initial 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 with solid white scotia beading around perimeter.

How we made it happen...

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

During this flooring project we fitted 16 of engineered wood flooring, with floating installation, over timber subfloor (chipboard) onto Duralay Excel Silver 3.7 mm underlay with DPM barrier .

When laying new floors an expansion gap of approx. 10 mm is left around 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 white scotia beading around the perimeter.

As per our initial assessment, the subfloor was prepared with 9 mm GP plywood before the floor installation.

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.
