The floors before the installation
Before the works...
In this Highbury flat we installed approx. 31 sqm of oak parquet flooring supplied by the client. During our initial survey, we did detailed inspection of the floors and discussed with the client all possible options, followed by comprehensive quotation with our floor fitting prices for parquet flooring.
Our client has decided to go for floor fitting, skirting boards installation, and install herringbone parquet flooring with primed MDF chamferred skirting boards around perimeter with partial boxing around part of the walls.
How we made it happen...
After our wood floor fitters have checked all service, property & products details on site, including amount of products supply, they started with lifting existing flooring and preparation of the subfloor with smoothing compound.
During this project we fitted 31 sqm of parquet flooring with glue-down installation in herringbone pattern (wall-to-wall), over concrete subfloors.
Parquet flooring laying requires many years of experience, skills and the right carpentry tools. 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 must be left around 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 we installed primed MDF chamferred skirting boards around the perimeter.
As per our initial assessment, the subfloor was prepared with smoothing compound before the floor installation.
Due to the change of level, after the new flooring was installed - our experienced, local Highbury floor fitters made sure all affected doors & door frames are trimmed to height and adjusted to new flooring.
Overall this parquet flooring project in Highbury was completed as originally planned and to the satisfaction of the client.
Did you know this about oak flooring?
Oak wood is a durable and strong hardwood timber known for its distinct grain patterns and wide range of colors, from light brown to reddish tones. It has a coarse texture with prominent grain markings, making it a popular choice for furniture, flooring, cabinetry, and structural applications. Oak is highly resistant to wear, moisture, and insect damage, offering long-lasting durability. It takes staining in dark, light, greys and whites well, with lacquer and oil-based finishes. Another reason that makes it the most popular timber for wooden flooring offering versatility in both traditional and contemporary designs.
