Before the installation works...
In this Peckham house we installed approx. 34 sqm 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 Timba Engineered Oak Flooring, Matt Lacquered, 191x5x20 Mm with primed scotia beading around perimeter.
How the fitting of the floors went...
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 project we laid 34 sqm of engineered wood flooring, specifically - Timba Engineered Oak Flooring, Matt Lacquered, 191x5x20 Mm with floating installation, over timber subfloor (chipboard) 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 primed scotia beading around the perimeter.
As per our initial assessment, the subfloor was prepared with chipboard refitting & local repairs before the floor works.
Due to the change of level, after the new flooring was installed - our experienced, local Peckham 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.
