Before the works...

In this Upper Norwood house we laid approx. 27 sqm of oak solid wood flooring. During our obligation-free survey, we did detailed inspection of the floors and discussed with the client all possible choices, followed by itemised quote with our floor installation prices for solid wood flooring.

Our client decided to go for floor fitting and beading installation and install 27 sqm oak solid wood flooringwith primed scotia beading around perimeter.

How we carried out the floor laying works...

In this flooring project we installed 27 sqm of solid wood flooring, with nail-down (secret nailing) installation, over original floorboards.

When installing 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.

Overall, this floor installation project was completed as planned by our local to Upper Norwood floor fitters and the new floors met the expectations and the delight of the client.

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.
