Engineered wood floor vs porcelain tile wood effect
Comments (3)Hi I'm in the process of buying a property which has wood effect tiles too in the kitchen and hall. I have opted to have Karndean flooring in my lounge which also opens up to the garden so I didn't want carpet. They come in many styles so maybe have a look at these? I have chosen one around £25per sq m which is the cheapest range. They are basically VInyl planks that get glued to your floor. Easy to clean and you don't have to worry about water warping the planks. Hope his helps...See MoreHelp needed picking white wood stain for wooden floor
Comments (3)Sadolin superdec may be what you are after but beware, a weathered look is a specialist finish. You cAnt really buy "weathered" it is after all an effect. I would say just give whatever you are using one coat, which would more than likely give it a worn look but it's not really a practical idea as when it's needs recoating it will give a stronger colour Alternatively give it a watery coat then varnish it to protect it...See MoreWooden flooring with wooden furniture?
Comments (2)Hi Laura, I think you've made a great choice going for a natural oak shade and it'll work well with your slightly darker furniture for a warm, welcoming feel. It might also look nice to go for a lighter oak shade of oak. This will create a more neutral base and a modern feel. See the difference in shades below...

Comments (4)I have both engineered wood and wood effect Amtico. The Amtico is in the kitchen and stands up very well to the cleaning/cats/water etc and we've never had a moment's trouble with it. But although it looks like wood - quite convincingly so - even with the underfloor heating it isn't quite as warm and tactile as 'wood' flooring. The engineered floor (which is in the entrance hall and in one of the sitting rooms) whilst it looks slightly more homely and 'warm', it does suffered a little bit from wear. We had an elderly cat (sadly died this week) who secretly wee'd on the rug in a particular place and it seeped through and stained the planks - it didn't penetrate the surface where it has a finish on or in the grooves as such, but just at the joins, where the edges would have been 'raw' and it has gone into the wood grain and oxidised it. Also, being a top layer of real wood, it does suffer from scratches and bruises. We had a bed delivered by baboons, when the hall was fairly new and they managed to damage a bench, took a chunk of wall out and scratched the engineered wood. There isn't a lot we can do about it tbh, without sanding and refinishing but as it was virtually new, we didn't. But now I mostly don't 'see' it but if I do notice it, it still makes me a bit cross! Similarly, things have been dropped or fallen and have made a dent or a bruise, but that's kind of unavoidable. So I think it's horses for course and both have positives and negatives, its probably best to decided based on how you live. For instance, if you have dogs and you are cleaning the floor a great deal, maybe Amtico would be better. But if you have no children or pets and it's just well behaved, grown ups then engineered wood throughout would work....See More
