Before the installation works...
In this Barnet Property we fitted approx. 26 sqm of oak engineered wood flooring. During our 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, beading installation, subfloor preparation, and install Holt Albany Engineered Oak Flooring, 3-Strip, Matt Lacquer with solid oak scotia beading around perimeter.
How we made it happen...
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 26 of engineered wood flooring, specifically - Holt Albany Engineered Oak Flooring, 3-Strip, Matt Lacquer with floating installation, over timber subfloor (chipboard) onto Duralay Heatflow 3 mm underlay for UFH .
When installing 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 the client decided to go with solid oak scotia beading around the perimeter.
As per our initial assessment, the subfloor was prepared with before the floor works.
Due to the change of level, after the new flooring was installed - our experienced, local Barnet 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.

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.
