Installation of Engineered Oak Wood Flooring

Before the works...

In this Rotherhithe flat we fitted approx. 21 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, skirting boards installation, and install Galleria Professional Engineered European Rustic Oak Flooring with primed MDF plain skirting boards 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 hardwood flooring and its preparation for disposal to our waste facility.

In this flooring project we installed 21 sqm of engineered wood flooring, specifically - Galleria Professional Engineered European Rustic Oak Flooring with floating installation, over concrete subfloors 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 around the perimeter.

As per our initial assessment, the subfloor was prepared with before the floor installation.

Due to the change of level, after the new flooring was installed - our experienced, local Rotherhithe 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 satisfaction of the client.
