Reuse of wooden tiled floor??
Hi, I wonder if anyone can help! Doing up my hall currently and not sure what to do with my floor... Thought about replacing but not sure if I could look at painting it instead for a bit less cost?? Has anyone done this before with wooden tiles?
The walls are blue, grey and white - I have purchased a dark grey / black fleck carpet for the stairs.
This is what iv started, decoration wise - Only just started so lots to do now painting is done!
I'm new to this, so would appreciate any help!

Does anyone know how I can achieve this look with tiles and wood floor
Comments (12)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....See MoreTiles or wooden floor on the ground floor living space?
Comments (10)Engineered wood flooring is fine over the top of under floor heating, you just have to buy the right stuff, here's an article on that subject:- Solid wood flooring company Maybe it's a blessing in disguise, as i think that tiles in the formal room would have been too much. Plus you've got the grout to keep clean and that's a lot of flooring. Maybe you could look into Karndean or other LVT products ( Luxury Vinyl Flooring ). No grout and you can have it look like tiles or wood....See MorePorcelain Wood Effect Floor Tiles

Comments (3)A cork expansion strip like this between the tile and wood should do the job, they are only 7.5mm wide. https://www.screwfix.com/p/vitrex-cork-expansion-strips-0-6m-x-12-5mm-18-pack/6257H?tc=UB9&ds_kid=92700065751868351&ds_rl=1249407&gclid=Cj0KCQjwqKuKBhCxARIsACf4XuEoUWpHJMC2SRRzH8nKFSmGzC-T3iYkTBjOyjj-Oovj_fz6NcRMfScaAsgrEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds...See Moretoots15
