Flooring Material

5 years ago

Greetings, this is an amazing renovation. And I don't say that very often, but I'm totally impressed. I am wondering what width, stain, and wood type the flooring is. Thanks in advance!

Hi, and thank you for the kind words! This is Fir with a clear finish on it. If memory serves, the planks are 2-1/4" wide. Hope this helps!

We are just building an extension at the minute and had the same problem, in the end we ditched the idea of concrete floors and continued the floating floor into the extension. We have a wet system ufh installed over 750mm insulation with dry screed over then chipboard and ply. It's due to be tiled today. I've attached photos of the floor to,ply stage and my tiles which are a matt finish concrete colour and because the are reticulate do can be laid with 1mm grout lines. Hope this helps.

Which Kitchen Floor Material?
Q

Hi Charlie, we understand that choosing flooring can be one of the hardest decisions. The floor is one of the biggest surface areas in your room and can make a big difference to the overall look. As you're looking to keep things 'in a traditional style' and have a period property, we think a natural floor would be the best choice for your kitchen. We can't help imagining the lovely contrast a wood floor would make against the stone of that period fireplace too. If you think wood flooring is what you'd like then please be assured that engineered wood is suitable for kitchens. The stability of engineered also gives you the option to install underfloor heating. And, real oak can take withstand more than 100 years before it wears just 1mm. So even though engineered oak has a thinner 'wear layer' of real oak than solid wood, it's more stable and you can be confident that it will last you longer than a lifetime all the same. We've pasted some ideas for the parquet style that you like below. And we also have a guide about the benefits of engineered flooring that you might find handy: https://woodpeckerflooring.co.uk/blog/engineered-wood-flooring-benefits/ Hope that helps (: https://woodpeckerflooring.co.uk/product/goodrich-natural-oak-2/ https://woodpeckerflooring.co.uk/product/goodrich-coffee-oak/

You'll all be familiar with porcelain - perhaps your grandmas' old china teacups? Well, the porcelain we're talking about couldn't be further from that old tat (sorry Gran)! This is porcelain-like you've never seen it before; stylish and highly durable with a range of distinctive colours. Using these sophisticated porcelain paving slabs you can completely transform your garden space and reclaim your home's balance! Recognizing it's time for change Some people haven't upgraded their patio paving slabs since the 70's and still have concrete patio slabs, just take a look outside and you'll see, they don't age well! Maybe you've never noticed your garden patio slabs changing, but it can creep up on you over the years. What was once a glowing garden may be dirty, neglected and full of weeds! Unless you've already renovated your garden patio paving slabs with quality paving stones, it's likely your garden badly needs a facelift. The sheer variety of styles in porcelain paving makes it extremely unique, what's more, each style caters to different a look, so you're sure to find the perfect style for your dream garden!

Like natural stone, but Turbo-charged! Non-slip, scratch-resistant and extremely strong; Porcelain paving takes the style and feel of natural stone paving and turbo-charges it so that you can enjoy maintenance-free living! Porcelain paving slabs are made from natural materials such as clays and minerals, which enrich it with a charm that artificial paving completely lacks. As a non-porous material, porcelain paving slab doesn't soak up water, meaning it's far more robust and hard-wearing that paving stones; as the years go by, the advantage of this quality will become evident. Balance is generally hard to achieve when it comes to choosing the right materials for your home interior and exterior garden, but Porcelain paving combines the positive qualities of various natural materials, and to top it off, is the most durable flooring material, full-stop. Don't believe us? Check this out: "Tests at Consumer Reports found porcelain paving to be the most durable type of flooring, resistant to scratches, dents, and moisture. These 20mm outdoor porcelain tiles are also very easy to clean. Glazed ceramic and porcelain slabs require very little maintenance, though other types need more." Why does durability matter? Have you ever bought beautiful natural stone paving slabs, only to watch its colour slowly fade due to weathering? You'll be glad to know the style of these porcelain paving slabs will be well preserved. Persistent rain, frost or heat aren't enough to damage this durable material – British weather may be unpredictable, but one thing you can predict is that the character and charm will last!

The perfect choice for Kitchens, Bathrooms and even Living rooms Waking up to a kitchen with the feeling of vitrified porcelain paving slabs under-foot is simply divine!

Our darker styles of Porcelain impart sophistication and charisma that cannot be rivalled by other flooring materials. In other words, porcelain paving slabs are way out of their league! The task of interior design can be a total headache…. That's why we recommend working from the floor up.

If you're someone with busy family life (kids running around, causing havoc!) then you'll need a durable flooring material that can withstand the ins and outs of life. Porcelain tiles also look great in bathrooms; sometimes the awkward and outdated flooring materials people have in their bathrooms leaves us in a state of shock! Like natural stone, Porcelain tiles are the natural choice for bathrooms, not only because it's water-resistant (hello, bath mats aren't going to soak up everything!), but also the charm that it can give to a space like this is remarkable. Crafted with precision, ready to install Porcelain paving is manufactured with special clays that are kiln-fired to a temperature of 1400 degrees, and then ground and polished to ensure that each tile has sharp, perfect edges.

Skirting board with various floor materials

Thank you both! Would you advise to do just the one colour/medium throughout the house? My husband seemed to think white or oak would look good everywhere except where the tiled floors are. I don't think it would be a good idea to do 2 different skirting boards though, do you?
