We agree that wood would be a better option as it avoids introducing another material into the mix. With a brass, you'd be highlighting the joins whereas with a wood, all you see is wood to the next flooring material, letting the floors take all the limelight. Hope that helps!

Experiences - using wood floor in kitchen
Q

Engineered wooden flooring is a very wise and popular choice for a kitchen. As everyone above has advised ...wipe up spills etc as soon as possible. But from my own personal experience (as well as professional ) I have a character oak UV oiled engineered floor fitted throughout the ground-floor of my home. I also have a dog and 3 x boys it still looks beautiful 5 years on, in this time it has encountered 3 washing machine leaks (youngest son had an obsession with pipes - argghh) and has not warped or moved. My advice if you opt for an engineered wood floor is to have a large inset doormat fitted at entrances, to force people to wipe their feet , as the biggest threat to a wooden floor finish is grit (acts like sandpaper / or will scratch). Apart from this it is a very low maintenance floor that will last for years and years.... The floor below is currently our most popular floor White Stained Ash engineered flooring - the photo below is of one of 22 open-plan Mews Houses this floor was installed within , and makes for a bright, light, incredibly durable, floor. One last thing your reclaimed engineered floor sounds beautiful...if it is naturally light in colour be aware that over time sunlight / UV will cause a goldening / darkening effect ...if it has been lightly stained then the timber will remain the same colour as stains act as a 'wood sunblock'. https://woodflooringengineered.co.uk/

Do you think I can use wood floor primer/undercoat...

Thanks colourhappy. I have painted some timber here which had the same stain, using primer/undercoat and that’s worked well. I have a hunch wood floor undercoat will work just as well, but I’m not sure what distinguishes it from ‘normal’ wood undercoat. Hence my slight hesitance.

Potential House.!!....what windows would you put in to sort it out ?
Q

It's a lovely house but I would just be aware of how much natural light it gets in terms of surrounding trees. There seems to be a lot of moss growth on the roof. I only mention this as our own house has lots of trees surrounding it and next time we move we would give more thought to how it impacts on light levels inside. The windows are lovely, but definitely the frame thickness is the key thing.
