Well after 2 days they have done about half of the area...







and after all the heartache trying to decide which product/fitter I'm glad to say that we are pleased with how its looking.........so I don't want to hear any criticisms, ok??

Looks good, I assume the skirting will still fit under the radiator ok though

Well done, it looks great.

Dont forget to put some 'pads' under your furniture or the floor will get scratched to buggery!

Subtle

I know the floor Westy bought & it looks nothing like a laminate, neither will it feel like one underfoot.

Now be nice & say sorry.

That looks genuinely excellent. I hope it finishes off as well as it started off.

Out of interest, what is it being laid on? As in, what has gone underneath it?

Thanks Oli

Floor was levelled with latex - necessary as part of an extension project which ended up with varying floor levels...

Wood is being laid onto hardfloor underlay - acoustic, thermal and dpm properties.

Pleased to say that its still progressing well

Good show.

In my experience of flooring, what goes underneath is possibly more important than the floor itself as it can totally change the character of the floor. A cheap floor on a good underlay is a much better bet than an expensive floor on a bad underlay.

Sounds like you have the best of both worlds. Should look and feel excellent, and last a very long time.

Its about time something went right!!!!

Nice job, exactly what i'm after.

How much gap is left between the boards and the hearth? I'm assuming it can't be a tight fit?

I'm looking at laying 20mm engineered oak myself, although my intended supplier has suggested i don't need any underlay between the planks and the original (chipboard) floor?

[raf_gti]

How is the floor doing after a month's worth of use?

We're now considering the very same floor!

[WWESTY]

guffy - sorry for delay. Yes, floor is pretty tight to hearth - expansion allowed for on other side of room.

raf - its doing OK thanks.....we're still at stage of trying to keep it unmarked etc.....which is really a losing battle (especially with decorators etc still being around!) as it will never be as resistant to little scratches and dents as laminate (for example) is...positive is that everyone who comes to house ALWAYS comments on how nice/good it looks.....
