Hi Siobhan, There are so many dilemmas when renovating / extending. Floor transitions are notoriously tricky when trying to create a flow within an interior and particularly from old to new.... Engineered wood flooring is warm to the touch (underfoot) and a natural insulator . All of our engineered wooden floors are designed to work over / in conjunction with underfloor heating systems...here are our trending floors for inspiration... Douglas Fir - Saatchi - White Lye & Soap effect stain Douglas fir has been dubbed the world's most beautiful floor and gained in popularity since being installed in the Saatchi gallery.... white wide and very long floorboards really open up a space and used widely in Scandinavian style interiors. This is the only softwood engineered floor we produce however and I would advise against putting it in a high traffic area as it will dent easily. American White Ash - Saatchi - White Stain & Low-Lustre UV Oiled In response to the popularity of white washed Douglas fir (above) we created a very similar floor but in American White Ash - an incredibly hard, hardwood. Our Ash - Saatchi is inherently durable and low-maintenance, produced in equally wide and long floorboards with a permanent white stain and commercial grade low sheen topcoat. Natural Wide Plank Oak Flooring The raw, natural beauty of Oak is enhanced by a natural finish and a fond farewell to the 'honey pine' yellowing that has become synonymous with Oak flooring until recently. Oak is a naturally beautiful shade of grey & beige / greige. A clear oil / lacquer brings out warm tones within Oak and over time + exposure to sunlight this golden patina will deepen. Our Nature Oil finish retains these greige / grey biscuity hues and prevents the honey pine / golden patina . As far as style is concerned, a natural grey is the new neutral within Interior Design themes ...contemporary, coastal, minimalist etc Hope the above helps and if you have any questions or need further advice please give me a shout. Bestest, Charlotte

When we moved into our house we turned off the monumentally expensive electric UFH that the previous owner had running 24/7/365 in our large open plan kitchen,dining living. British Gas demanded an engineer be sent to view our meter within a month as they had decided that we, the new owners, must have broken or bypassed the electric meter to get free power as the meter was no longer spinning like a top! We now have good old central heating radiators installed - when we put these in we found the foam insulation for the electric UFH was burnt in some areas where the previous owners had sofas and furniture that sat close to the floor! We love the warmth in the room now, the fact that you can warm yourself by a radiator after a cold trip outside and the slowly turning electric meter!
