Before the works...
In this Whetstone home we installed approx. 34 of oak engineered wood flooring. During our initial 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, subfloor preparation, beading installation, and install Timberlay Engineered Oak Flooring, Lacquered, 190x20 mm with solid white 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 and its preparation for disposal to our waste facility.
In this project we fitted 34 of engineered wood flooring, specifically - Timberlay Engineered Oak Flooring, Lacquered, 190x20 mm with floating installation, over original floorboards onto Duralay Excel Silver 3.7 mm underlay with DPM barrier .
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 12 mm GP plywood before the floor installation.
Due to the change of level, after the new flooring was installed - our experienced, local Whetstone 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.
