Engineered Oak Parquet Flooring Installation

Before the works...

In this Twickenham home we installed approx. 10 of oak parquet 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, subfloor preparation, beading installation, and install with solid white scotia beading around perimeter.

How we completed the floor works...

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

In this flooring project we fitted 10 of parquet flooring, with floating installation, over original floorboards onto Duralay Excel Silver 3.7 mm underlay with DPM barrier .

Parquet flooring laying requires many years of experience, skills and the right carpentry equipment. Depending on the overall condition of the subfloor, our initial assessment identifies if sepcific subfloor preparation will be required.

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

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

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

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