Hi All, I'm looking to lay approx 62sq/m of floor in three ground floor rooms, and looking at 18 or 20 mm thick Oak flooring. Has anyone any recommendations on what brand / supplier would be OK? I've looked at the local flooring shed and they have V4 which looked OK, but any others I should consider or be wary of? Cheers.
This is like asking a forum what colour you should paint your room! How do we know what your tastes are? How do we know what your partner's or family's tastes are?
Thanks for the helpful response...not! I specifically did not request advice on what 'look' of Engineered floor would be best...that would be a stupid thing to ask, for obvious reasons. I specifically asked for experience on specific manufacturers and suppliers, I even mentioned a manufacturer I'd seen, and am looking for peoples experiences of manufacturers & suppliers. Hey...but thanks again anyway
A lot depends on budget and the finish you need plus whether you want full thickness oak or oak on top of an engineered base. This is a brand I have used a few times and are very good quality https://www.broadleaftimber.com/ You will be looking at around £3,000 (plus adhesive and trim) for quality floor https://www.broadleaftimber.com/beautiful-real-wood/floors/traditional-oak-flooring
Thanks SOSPAN...good to know that common sense is out there... I'll check out the links. Budget is about £35-45 sqm...and looking at 4 or 5 8mm top oak layer. That said my better half has just thrown Karndean into the equation be ause it's hassle free apparently and looks the same??!
Jewsons had 3 strip light oak engineered on offer for £19 plus the dreaded. Looks good but only 3-4 mm of actual oak!
