What would you suggest if the existing floor is concrete? I fitted a solid oak floating floor in my last property but had a few issues with movement so in my current house I had sort of decided on engineered oak. This house has solid floors and is over 100 years old so seasonal moisture changes are an issue. I've seen the adhesives you can use to bond the boards to the floor. Is this the way to go?Alexfn":q5c2xpt0 said:I own a flooring company. Khars is 30% more because of the brand name. The woodloc system is used by a lot of other companys and under different names.. 5g click for example.
Regardless dont fit a flooring floor. You want nail down t&g.
The Chinese oak is hit and miss. Some of the best stuff we do is coming out of poland and im paying 35+ vat for it. It retails online for 50ish
A quality oak floor will easly last 100 years. Lets see any laminate do that? Its all made from mdf
Camaro loc would be my choice over laminate
well done but there's got to be a joke in there somewhere..Just a bit of a leftfield suggestion.
Reclaimed sports court flooring.
A few years ago I did my living/ dining room with a reclaimed badminton court from a tennis club in London.
It is first grade Canadian hard maple with not a single knot in it. I paid a cheap price but I had to de-nail it and stuff and there was some wastage of dameged boards.
I laid it with tongue tite screws on to an OSB subfloor. Then I sanded it smooth to get rid of the court markings and oiled it.
This cost me the price of cheap engineered flooring but is 18mm solid timber. To buy this stuff new would be over £100 a m2.
Check ebay
