Hello All,
I am moving to my new house and looking for some advise on selection of Engineered Wood.
I am considering either
1. To go to shops like B&Q, Wickes, UK Flooring Direct or another high street ones , get some advise and make an order and get them to install and fit at my place
2. Shop around myself, make a purchase according to my requirements, find a professional Flooring fitter on My Builder and get it installed and fit at my place
I am inclined to believe that going for second option would be good considering I get to select from variety of options available across many online and offline shops and also tend to believe would be effective once I have quality Engineered Wood and find a professional fitter.
Please can I request to give some advise and suggestions helping me selecting the Engineered Wood & related accessories like underlay and others please.
My Requirements are
1. My house floor is concrete
2. I am looking Engineered Wood for Living Room & Hallway
3. I am looking for mid to high luxury ones and looking for carpets in the range of 30 - 40 pounds/sqm
4. I would need Engineered Wood for 26 sqm to 30sqm for Living Room & Hallway
I need some advise & suggestions on the below please:
1. There are different type of Wood flooring with different thicknesses and material such as Oak . Considering I am looking for durable luxury ones which type ones are recommended, minimum thickness etc?
2. As I understand the underlays should be selected depending on the floor type , what type of underlays are recommended considering looking for engineered wood on concrete floor?
3. Apart from Regular shops, what are the recommended places to buy engineered wood and generally have genuine deals?
4. Are there any brands I can look for so that I can compare at different places for good deals?
5. Apart from underlay what other accessories would I need to purchase and what would be the general expenses of these accessories?
6. What would be the estimated fitting & installation charges I should expect from an independent fitter?
7. Any other useful information please or anything else I need to consider or avoid?
My house is in Reading and will be handed over to me in a weeks time, I have just started taking quotations, please feel free to send quotations as well if you can.
Many Thanks
Nani
