Love the flooring - where is it from?

9 years ago

I love parquet but the installation costs put me off. I'm intrigued by the architect's description of "preinstalled engineered parquet" - that sounds perfect, and it looks great!

Thanks Jonathan. I was wondering about that. Our architect specified Celotex in the building control plans so I was investigating that, or similar products. I'm not sure if that decision was due to fire retardance or to other issues. Because I'm doing most of the project management it's important to know the order in which everything needs to be done, hence the question about what can be done above or below floorboards - it really does affect a lot of my decisions. I will look into foam as well as Celotex.

That's interesting colourhappy - we did omit the aqua tiles and put just the taupe with blanco (which has some grey tones in the variations) but it looked a little bland which is why we thought the aqua might liven it up but now I'm thinking you are right and they are too cool for the flagstones.

POLL: When working from home, where do you set up?

Comments (17)
I’m at my desk in the family room and my husband has set up office in the dining room. Teenage son is studying in his bedroom and daughter is home schooling between my husband and I - depending on who has meetings etc and is most available to help. She’s using an ottoman for a desk with footstool to sit on when with me and is at the opposite end of the dining room table when she’s with her dad. My top tip is to clear all work/study/school stuff away at the end of every day to give us our home back again. I put my laptop etc into my rucksack and stash that away in the cupboard and my husband and daughter have a drawer each that I cleared out in the dining room sideboard at the start of lockdown, for all their school and work stuff. When I’m finished working, I open the windows to let all the work vibes out, light a lovely smelling candle and I’m home.

Thanks for the feedback arc3d! To the both of you, So the two woods I wanted was - Solid Wood American Black Walnut (attached) for the lower ground floor and Solid Grey Wood (not sure of species but colour attached) for the second/bedroom floor. Firstly what do you both think of the two contrasts? I started to read up on Dark Woods vs Light Woods and it seems like given that my living room space is small that installing Dark Wood in the room will make it look even smaller and that I should opt for a lighter wood. Thoughts? I am looking to go for a modern and minimalistic look where I would prefer that most of the house walls are going to be white and the most adventurous I get is having one stand out feature wall e.g. for a bedroom, imagine three of the four sides of bedroom are white with a grey wood floor, and the fourth wall side may either be a very dark charcoal grey or a midnight blue with curtains to match the feature colour. e.g. in the case of the living room, we never use electric fireplace. My thoughts were to remove it and tile the chimney breast with brick tiles (see image below) and fill the blank space with logs or something like that. Like a nature vibe. I don't want too much going on in each room other than the odd stand out and good furnishings. Given the size of the house and rooms, is it best to opt out of the walnut ground floor and go with a colour like the one Sonia posted above and then have the grey wood on the second floor? I am not heavily inclined to go one way and am completely open to suggestions. I just want to get this right the first time so I never have to revisit it again.

We have a showroom in Parsons Green.

The chevron is one of the most innovative products we produce. Installation is about the same as with a plank floor.
