Before the fitting works...
In this West Kensington house we laid approx. 13 sqm sqm of walnut engineered wood flooring. During our initial 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, beading installation, and install Timberlay Engineered Walnut Wood Flooring, Lacquered, 190x20 mm 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.
In this project we laid 13 sqm of engineered wood flooring, specifically - Timberlay Engineered Walnut Wood Flooring, Lacquered, 190x20 mm with floating installation, over original floorboards onto Duralay Excel Silver 3.7 mm underlay with DPM barrier .
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 12 mm GP plywood before the floor installation.
Due to the change of level, after the new flooring was installed - our experienced, local West Kensington 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.
Did you know this about walnut flooring?
Walnut wood is a premium hardwood timber known for its rich, dark brown color with purplish or gray undertones. It has a straight grain, though it can sometimes feature attractive wave patterns, adding to its aesthetic appeal. Walnut is valued for its smooth texture and excellent workability, making it a popular choice for high-end furniture, cabinetry and wooden flooring. It is durable and resistant to warping, with a natural luster that enhances its luxurious look. To preserve its natural dark brown colour after restoration with lacquered finish, walnut requires use of a specific primer to be applied, after the floor sanding and sealing. You can check for more information our flooring guide about wood timbers.
