Oak flooring HELP!
Comments (7)Ok, Im not familiar with this area, so this is what you need to look for. The plywood substrate of an engineered floor should be birch, particularly if you are fitting over underfloor heating, although some will recommend you don't. Look at the plywood part of your samples. It should be uniform and flat, this is as important as the topping of oak. Any buckles, rule it out. The oak layer is generally 3-8mm thick. Go for as thick as you can afford. Future sanding and refinishing no good on 3mm. You say you want matt varnish, I would consider Matt hard wax oil. This will give you a durable Matt finish however it is much easier to sand and refinish small areas of damage in the future.

Comments (0)Hi all I was wondering if someone could help me please? I am doing up my flat. Debating on which engineered wood flooring colour to go with from the images enclosed, that will match my grey sofa, walnut coffee and dinning table? Left one is ceruse oak, rustic natural oak (more stains), smoked oak, and lighter natural oak. Very confused as I want to make it soothing for the eyes. I have attached a phone of my inspiration. Attached another photo of grey balcony borders and oak wardrobe/doors (this was taken in the show apartment). Please ignore the furniture! Thanks a lot!...See MoreFloorboards/Engineered wood/Amtico experiences please

Comments (1)Option 2 Can I have the concrete finished to glue engineered wood straight down? Yes you can as long as there is a DPM Is an epoxy DPM sandwich something that is done with a self-levelling compound? is the floor not level with the rest of the house? First level the floor than apply a surface DPM Can I get away without two whole screeds considering the new concrete is at a good level? Is there anyway of salvaging the front room oak? No way of salvaging it I am afraid. You could spend hours to scrape it at back but it will be messy to save very little. And then you'll have to match a new floor with the old one. I’m also in the process of re-doing damp proofing that wasn’t done properly first time round so having the bare concrete now enables me to have the full Sovereign tanking system applied. I can’t afford to do this everywhere though, but I’m particularly anxious about moisture getting to the floor from the sides which is something it mitigates against. Are there other ways of doing this? I think that if you had problems with moisture in the past, you need to address it once and for all. Once the problem is solved through the house then you can look at ways of installing your wood floor. Floating floor fitted on top on an adequate moisture barrier and overlay will do the job very well and you won't be able to feel the difference with a glued down floor. hope this helps...See Moreleonardoflondon
