Timbercraft Herringbone Engineered Oak Parquet Flooring, Smoked White, Brushed & Oiled, 90x400x18 Mm

Installation

Solid wood flooring requires a tight bond to the subfloor to limit any seasonal movement and therefore is laid with glue-down installation in the case of plywood, chipboard and concrete subfloors, or nail-down (secret nailing) in the case of plywood or floorboards. Damp proofing course is highly recommended for concrete / screeded subfloors.

With our experienced, local floor fitters, your hardwood floors are in safe hands - regardless, if what method of installation they require.

Natural Oiled Finish

Oil based finishes seal timber by soaking into the wooden surface and therefore tend to provide a more natural feel and look of the timber. Quite often wooden floors are sealed with oil after going through a "brushing" process, which  embosses the texture of the wooden surface. Floors with such finish are referred to as "Brushed & Oiled".

This type of finish is less durable compared to the lacquer, but allows re-coating of your wooden floors. This can have some benefits in terms of maintenance, as re-coating can delay the complete renovation of the floors, which uses the process of sanding and reduces the wearable thickness of the wooden floors.

The oil-based finishes however are slow-drying (6-10 hours per coat) and it may be difficult in terms of planning and furniture to apply a new top coat in a busy household. In fact, due to this inconvenience many household tend to delay recoating of oiled floors and end up renovating their floors too early.
