Before the works...
In this Greenwich flat we laid approx. 44 sqm of merbau laminate flooring. During our obligation-free survey, we did a thorough inspection of the floors and discussed with the client all possible options.
Our client has decided to go for floor fitting, beading installation, and install QuickStep Largo Natural Varnished Merbau Planks Laminate Flooring with solid white scotia beading around perimeter.
How we made it happen...
After our floor installers have checked all service, property & products details on site, including amount of products supply, they started with lifting existing laminate flooring and its preparation for disposal to our waste facility.
In this flooring project we installed 44 sqm sqm of laminate flooring - QuickStep Largo Natural Varnished Merbau Planks Laminate Flooring with floating installation over concrete subfloors onto Duralay Excel Silver 3.7 mm underlay with DPM barrier .
Laminate flooring products are relatively thin and require a good subfloor level. Our laminate floor installation service will consider this from initial survey and during the laying itself.
When laying 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 white scotia beading around the perimeter.
As per our initial assessment, the subfloor was prepared with smoothing compound before the floor fitting works.
Due to the change of level, after the new flooring was installed - our experienced, local Greenwich 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 merbau flooring?
Merbau has dark rich red colour and sometimes, our clients will ask us to whiten it or "bleach" the merbau floors. We do not do that, to merbau. We tried it, but it's stubborn and we recommend to keep you merbau floors in the natural colour domain. You can check for more information our flooring guide about wood timbers.
