Engineered Oak Wood Flooring Installation

Before the installation works...

In this Brixton home we fitted approx. 32 sqm sqm of oak engineered wood flooring. During our obligation-free survey, we did a thorough 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 Timberlay Engineered Oak Wood Flooring, Lacquered with solid oak scotia beading around perimeter.

How we completed the floor 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 and its preparation for disposal to our waste facility.

During this flooring project we laid 32 sqm of engineered wood flooring, specifically - Timberlay Engineered Oak Wood Flooring, Lacquered with floating installation, over original floorboards onto Duralay Silentfloor Gold 4.5 mm underlay with DPM barrier .

When installing 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 oak scotia beading around the perimeter.

As per our initial assessment, the subfloor was prepared with 12 mm GP plywood before the floor installation.

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

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