White floors open up spaces and flood buildings with light to create a real feeling of spring and summer even on the darkest winter days.

Wood flooring is easy to keep in great condition. Both lacquered and oiled finishes are semi permeable allowing the wood to breathe. This means you should avoid using harsh chemical and abrasive cleaners on your hardwood or laminate wood floors. Many ‘supermarket’ brands claim to work well on all surfaces including wood floors but most should be avoided as they contain high acidic or caustic ingredients that will quickly compromise the lacquered or oiled surface of your floor, destroying the water and stain resistant properties.
Oiled floors can be kept in great condition simply by treating with more oil from time to time. Maintenance can be buffed into the surface of an oiled floor to enhance the natural beauty of the wood and keep oiled surface water and stain resistant.
Our engineered hardwood floors can be jointed with PVAC adhesive and floated on underlay or fully bonded to the subfloor with our rigorously tested solvent free flooring adhesives. These flexible adhesives anchor the wood to the subfloor whilst still allowing the timber to expand and contract naturally.
Our engineered plank and laminate floors can be installed as a floating floor over specialist underlays which cushion the flooring from slight imperfection in a subfloor. Underlays can insulate cold concrete floors and provide a vapour barrier to stop any rising moisture. They also provide impact sound insulation to lesson the noise of any heavy feet.
A well prepared subfloor is key to a successful installation and will help ensure your floor performs to its very best. The subfloor is likely to be either wooden or a cement based screed and we have all the necessary renovation screed and levelling compounds that will ensure your subfloor is flat and ready for installation.
Traditionally wood floors have been finished with natural oils and waxes to make beautiful and durable surfaces that can be buffed and polished to last for generations. Oils can be natural or coloured to enhance and protect your flooring surface and are simple to apply with long-lasting durability.
