Great poll! I have to say though, that for me that it really depends on the piece. There are some things that I just won't buy unless I have seen it in person and other things I am happy to buy online. This mostly comes down to whether or not it will be seen and what the reviews are like for it. For example, I personally would be loath to buy a sofa online even with the options to view samples as you can't tell what it will look like in person. With regards to buying mattresses on the other hand, this is something I would purchase from a website because you won't have to see it other than when you change the sheets and you can check reviews to get a good idea of comfort and quality!

Engineered wood floor floating or glued with wet UFH

Any advice on our flooring dilemma, do we glue or float? We are having 150mm celotex with 60mm screed over wet underfloor heating pipes, throughout our ground floor. The traditional method appears to be engineered wood glued directly onto the screed, but several suppliers have recommended a floating floor using a special UFA compatible underlay with a 0.3 tog value. Has anyone got any experience of the performance of UFH using this special underlay and floating engineered floor combination? Many thanks Nicky

Hey Daria, We're an authorised distributor of V4 Wood Flooring products and their ranges are proving to be very popular with us at the minute. Their website is very informative in showing you the different ranges they offer. Whilst we're not in the Greater London area our showroom is in Aylesford, Kent. Here are some useful links to get you started: V4 Wood Flooring's Website. Our Showroom address and details. I've also attached a photo of an installation we have ongoing at the minute a local client. They're using the range 'ZB103' in their newbuild home and it looks fabulous. Would be great if you would consider making the trip to visit us. All the best, Christian.

Suzanna C. There is no need to buy surplus boxes to sift through the planks simply to then throw away those that you don't like. If you buy an AB (Natural) grade floor it will already have been done for you by the manufacturer. When buying a floor you should get the supplier to clarify what the flooring grade is and what you should expect by way of Knots, live or dead (live knots are still in place, dead knots have fallen out and have been filled). The sizes and number of knots allowed per board, the amount of sapwood (blond wood), and the board dimensions(maximum and minimum lengths). The finest grade is A (Select) grade which is virtually knot & Sapwood free. Personally I think this grade is too bland. Frequently I see A,B,C,D grade flooring with very short planks being sold online which I would describe as firewood. As part of the purchasing process you should ensure you understand the grading of floor you are buying and the plank dimensions. Packs of flooring with a board lengths between 1.2m - 300mm will typically be awful. You really do get what you pay for when you buy cheap wood floor. I would look at AB Grade and then maybe ABC Grade but never ABCD Grade. Not all online flooring retailers are bad and not all are good. You should be able to get a feel for what they know by how they answer questions about the grades as described above, and what they are prepared to put in writing about the flooring if asked to do so. Below is a piece I found on a UK website that I thought might be useful HERE ARE OUR TIPS TO MAKE SURE YOU GET THE FLOORING YOU EXPECT: 1. Don't make your choice of flooring from a small sample, as these can be misleading. 2. Ask your supplier to furnish you with the grading rules for their products. 3. Ask to see pictures of installations using the timber you're interested in, and finally... 5. Remember wood is a natural material and there will be variation from batch to batch. This is part of its beauty.
