Before the fitting works...
In this Dalston flat we fitted approx. 11 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, subfloor preparation, beading installation, and install Timberlay Engineered Oak Wood Flooring, Lacquered, 150x18 mm with solid white scotia beading around perimeter.
How the fitting of the floors went...
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 11 of engineered wood flooring, specifically - Timberlay Engineered Oak Wood Flooring, Lacquered, 150x18 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 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 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 Dalston 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 satisfaction of the client.
