Tracey, those are encaustics which tend to be 18-20mm in depth, your wood will most likely be engineered ply if you have underfloor heating and depths vary 12mm upward. If one or the other substrate needs to be built up to accommodate the other that is possible. Be aware there will be some movement between the two, more so if you are using long boards, less with parquet, so consider how best to deal with any movement or expansion between the two. There are plenty of products available for this. Make sure your encaustics are sealed correctly. You could also find the cleaning regimen of the two finishes may be very different. Lithoflin for encaustics - and oil/wax for an oiled floor, that's not a great combination, so perhaps an easy maintenance wood might be better in the long run.

Which way will you have the flooring running, is it running parallel with or perpendicular to the sliding doors? If parallel to the doors you will need to leave a minimum 10-12mm, looking at the room length, but if running the other way and the ends of the boards were facing the doors, you could leave a smaller gap of 5-6mm, in which case you could have it professionally sealed with silicone, with a colour match to give a near perfect finish. If doing it this way get the fitter to use a full length spacer to ensure a perfectly straight edge.

E D I love the way that you say what you think, yet without being at all rude, and totally funny....... it's an art form, and I look forward to your comments, they cheer me up. I always worried about what people will think and if i've said the right thing, the wrong thing etc............it can make you a bit anxious and I really wish I could stop doing it. Maybe a New Year's resolution coming?? Richard................Glad to hear about the door stops Beano..............as above..............I wish I could put what I want................I endeavour to be pragmatic, when all I want is to speak my mind sometimes. All that holding it in isn't good for a person.

Hi AMB, It's great to hear people still want traditional finish. In this case: 1. Light sanding and proper dust off before anything. 2. Do knotting before priming, this will prevent resin from oozing (yellow/orange patches) through. 3. Apply primer, then undercoat, then two coats finish paint. Light sanding and dust off - that's after undercoat and before final coat. Have fun or call us for help (only London area). Paintforme
