Light Engineering flooring in open plan kitchen
Need your advice please. We are extending our bungalow upwards and building a rear extension to include open plan kitchen, family living and dining room. It will go back across the width of the house about 13m long and 4,7 m wide.
I absolutely love the look of light engineered flooring and because we can't afford UFH tiles are out of question. To add we have 1.5 year old twins, dog and a cat. Plus I recently went to see friends house and her real wood floor that was laid 10 years ago went all orangy and doesn't look that great in the kitchen (there are only two adults living in the house)
I would love to achieve this look in the kitchen - how will it look in 10 years that the question. What are my options?

Comments (21)Hi there, When it comes to engineered wooden floors they have been designed to work in conjunction with under floor heating so there is no issue there. If you are looking to go for a wooden floor then we would recommend going for an engineered board with a brushed and lacquered finish. The brushed texture will hide and scratches or scuffs that may occur, the lacquer on the board. Generally our boards come with 8 coats of Super Matte Lacquer. The lacquer will help protect the board from any spillages seeping into the board. If you have an idea of the colour you would be looking to go for we would be more than happy to suggest some suitable products. We also have some very realistic laminate Flooring by Kronoswiss. The Kronoswiss origins ranges comes in at 14mm thick. It is An AC5 Grade, each laminate is graded between AC1 - AC5. AC5 being the most durable. These boards have been designed to take heavy traffic. The origins range comes with the new Aqua stop technology, stopping spillages from seeping into the board for up to 72 hours. Giving reassurance if any spillages do happen. Here are some of the boards from the Origins range. This is the Kronoswiss Rock Oak Kronoswiss Moon Kronoswiss Sunset. See full range here. If you do have any further queries or suggest a colour of flooring we will try our best to point you in the right directions. You can either give us a call on 0141 8875 5698 or you can drop us an email at info@floormonster.co.uk kind Regards, Floor Monster Team...See Moreadvice needed - lighting open plan kitchen diner
Comments (1)Inset ceiling down-lights in a grid pattern on a dimmer throughout the entire area will give you maximum flexibility for furniture placement as well as a good level of light for working / cleaning. i don’t know what the extent of your wall shelves will be but LED strips on their underside will assist with lighting the worktops. Floor / table lamps at the sitting / dining end and the pendants over your island would give good ‘layering of light’ for ambience. Make sure each lighting style is on a separate circuit and is dimmable.....See MoreBest flooring for open plan kitchen diner lounge?
Comments (0)Need advice on flooring ootions for new open plan kitchen, dinner and lounge area. Initially i was considering plain off white large tiles as it's a big space 6m x 9m. I am torn between the warm tones wood gives vs practicality of tiling and have considered wood effect tiling or luxury vinyl but i don't want it to look cheap as we are going for a high end look. We will also have underfloor heating. If anyone has used these any feedback would be very useful. We will also have a seperate lounge which will have double doors opening into the open plan area and I'm not sure if it should have the same flooring or different? Someone recommended engineered wood flooring for the front lounge......See MoreE D
