Before the works...
In this Richmond Property we fitted approx. 30 of oak parquet 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, and install Timberlay Engineered Oak Flooring, Smoky, Brushed & Lacquered with solid oak scotia beading around perimeter.
How we completed the floor works...
After our floor installers have checked all service, property & products details on site, including amount of products supply, they started with lifting existing parquet flooring and its preparation for disposal to our waste facility.
In this flooring project we installed 30 of parquet flooring, specifically - Timberlay Engineered Oak Flooring, Smoky, Brushed & Lacquered with glue-down installation in herringbone pattern (wall-to-wall), over original floorboards.
Parquet flooring installation requires many years of experience, skills and the right carpentry equipment. Depending on the overall condition of the subfloor, our initial assessment identifies if sepcific subfloor preparation will be required.
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 solid oak scotia beading around the perimeter.
Due to the change of level, after the new flooring was installed - our experienced, local Richmond floor fitters made sure all affected doors & door frames are trimmed to height and adjusted to new flooring.
Overall the project was completed as scheduled 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.
