If considering wood you could get unfinished wood installed. Companies such as Wood Floor Accessories are a great supplier. Having it finished on site means a finish can be picked that works for your home. Each home has variables such as pets, different traffic and the owners desire to maintain the flooring or aversion to maintenance. Having wood finished on site has advantages. You can pick the highest quality product that works for your budget. The range of finishes available is quite wide. A professional company will try to understand your home and recommend the appropriate finish. They will also understand how easily the finish was can be renovated in the future. Amtico is an extremely robust product but being plastic, is just plastic flooring. It has its place, as does wood. In areas that have plenty of light surfaces, scratches show very easily on Amtico, Karndean etc. The manufacturers push a polishing maintenance product on consumers. However, this needs to be stripped and reapplied on a regular basis.

What directions to lay engineered wood floor boards?
Q
Comments (4)
A question we getting asked nigh on everyday, the short answer is personal preference matters the most. That said the most commonly seen way to lay engineered wood flooring is by aligning the flooring planks parallel to the longest wall. There can be some exceptions like sagging joists, but this is the preferred direction to lay wood floors because it aesthetically provides the best result generally speaking. But there are alternative/other options and as mentioned in other comments you can also use thresholds to breakup rooms. Take your time before making a final decision discuss with your fitter, interior designer or architect if your using those services. With every choice you will want to consider not only each individual room but also your entire floor plan so that your flooring looks cohesive as you move from room to room. At woodflors4u we not only stock a huge variety of engineered floors but provide a large selection of accessories such as solid oak thresholds, T-bars, ramps and more, find links below. https://www.woodfloors4u.co.uk/ https://www.woodfloors4u.co.uk/product-category/flooring_accessories/

What will go well with this wooden floor

Hi Jessie, looking at the damage (dents etc.) and number of knots in the boards, I would say that they're softwood (pine) rather than oak. Sanding them (either yourself or by a professional company) will enable you to refinish them as you like - either prime and paint, stain or apply something like Osmo Polyx Oil to reseal them. If you stay with the yellow toned colour, then I would suggest a wall colour with similar undertones, for example we have an oak floor which has a yellow tone to it and I have used Little Green's Stock, which is a warm neutral with yellow undertones on (most of) the walls (The other walls are a dark grey by Albany, which goes well with our slate hearth and enables the TV to disappear into it rather than stand out). I have painted the ceiling down to the picture rail, in Dulux Timeless (as a brilliant white would be too stark against the walls). Both ceiling and walls have been painted with a matt finish emulsions. The woodwork (skirtings, picture rails, door linings, architraves, window sill, etc.) have also been painted in Dulux Timeless but in a water-based gloss finish. This has created a warm neutral scheme which I feel acts as a classic/timeless background to which you can add other warm toned metals (we have antique brass light fittings from Jim Lawrence), a traditional style rug over the floor boards in a seating area, and add artwork in gilt, dark grey or similar toned wooden frames, etc. If you wanted to add a bit more colour, then warm rusty reds work well for accents and accessories. For classic schemes I like to stick with natural fabrics such as wools (Abraham Moon), printed cottons, linen or cotton velvet fabrics, for soft furnishings and would use either Roman Blinds or (full length) curtains with a traditional heading (such as double or triple pleats).

What type of wooden floor is best

For real wood, you will want Engineered wood flooring, however, you will also want to speak carefully to the supplier regarding the correct floor preparation required and if floating the installation on an underlay, you'll need a UFH specific product that matches the floor against the output specs of the UFH syste, LVT or Luxury Vinyl Tile flooring from companies like Amtico, Karndean and Moduleo will offer a more versatile product with a lower install height and no need for door breaks etc however you'll again need to spec the UFH installation very carefully to meet the specs required to get the LVT on the floor and for it to stay there. AVOID click LVT especially over UFH or in areas of direct sunlight and in any area that is likely to have weight on it, it's getting a terrible name in the flooring industry for joint failure and manufacturers looking for any reason not to with hold complaints.
