Removing tiles or lay new flooring on top?
Comments (2)Hello Jeni, When my parents purchased a house first they thought tiles will work better than wooden floor but after some years my mum just got fed up with tiles all over the ground floor. They decided to go for wooden floor, luckily the tiles did't have to be removed but the wooden floor was placed on the top of tiles. Few years on it still looks like new, my mum loves it so as I.

Comments (4)Hi Louisa, It depends on what you consider branded (or not). If branded is something like Kahrs or Haro or one of the several other suppliers of engineered wood flooring then their quality is good but all those floor are industry made products. Good inexpensive but a bit plain. On the other hand, non branded floors supplied by people like http://www.element7.co.uk/ are made by some of the best manufacturers in Europe, often made by hand and do look so much better than the branded floors. Then there are hundreds of other products in between but I wouldn't be afraid to use unbranded products especially if you want something a bit more personal.

Comments (17)Hi Hu, Definitely looks like the sun/uv has warmed the oak up, like with most natural woods they will change colour over time. You could consider oiling the floor lightly on both sections but concentrating mainly on the lighter area as this will darken the wood slightly. I would suggest sanding if it was a solid oak floor, however as it's a 3mm solid (I'm guessing on this) I wouldn't risk sanding it. Definitely consider oiling it and if possible I would remove the rug for a while especially on brighter days to allow the colour to even out. I hope you are able to sort it.

Comments (1)You should listen to the supplier of the flooring. If they say no glue, then no glue. A floating floor shouldn’t need it. Presumably it’s a click fit?...See More

5 years agoWe would recommend Nagle flooring in Harrow. We originally bought ours from an online company and were so disappointed as the sample they originally gave us just happened to be the lightest sample they had ever had and so when the flooring arrived it was a good 7 shades darker. We eventually sent it back at cost. We then went to Nagle flooring where they were kind enough to let me open up a few boxes to confirm I was getting the same product throughout. It was perfect! Just remember to order that 10-20% over and all the duff ones where the colour is too light or too dark and the filling of the natural wood is too large. To keep them aside and use them where furniture will be out of sight. We used the extras as shelving in the under stair cupboard.
We used a carpenter to install them, but the night before I opened all the boxes and separated the perfect ones from the duff ones and graded them into piles of 4, so I got a choice in where I wanted the perfect boards.
In lockdown, we completed the rest of the laying of the floors and we did it ourselves. My husband has renovated most of the house and actually did a much better job than the carpenters!
Best advice, is to see a few boxes before you buy. Then separate and grade it before anyone starts the job!
