Before the works...
In this Ealing house we fitted approx. 70 m of oak engineered wood flooring. During our initial survey, we did a thorough inspection of the floors and discussed with the client all possible choices, followed by detailed quote with our floor fitting pricing for engineered wood flooring.
Our client decided to go for floor fitting and beading installation and install 70 m oak engineered wood flooringwith solid oak scotia beading around perimeter.
How we carried out the floor installation works...
One of the challenges we faced during this project was to complete the floor works in stages, due to bulky pieces of furniture, which could not be removed from the rooms.
In this flooring project we laid 70 m of engineered wood flooring, specifically - Timbertech2 Silver Plus with , over onto Duralay Heatflow 3 mm underlay for UFH .
Our recommendations and options for underlays & sound-proofing and damp-proofing for wooden floors are discussed during initial site visit and during the product selection process.
When installing new floors an expansion gap of approx. 10 mm is 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.
Due to the change of level, after the new flooring was installed - our experienced, local Ealing floor fitters made sure all affected doors & door frames are trimmed to height and adjusted to new flooring.
Overall, this floor installation project was completed as originally planned by our local to Ealing floor fitters and the new floors met the expectations and the delight of its owners.
