All engineered wood and solid wood flooring need an expansion gap around the perimeter of the room. We use decorative scotia to cover the gap without needing to remove the skirting. Scotia comes in a variety of colours and is available with a lacquered, veneered or laminated finish. Unfinished versions are also available. We will help you to find the right beading to suit your floor. Simply give us a call to discuss your requirements.

Using underfloor heating beneath wooden floors does present problems due to the varying temperatures the floor will be subjected to. Solid wood floors are therefore not suitable for use with underfloor heating unless specified by the manufacturer. Engineered wood flooring is less prone to movement and can usually be used with underfloor heating systems. This is because the boards comprise a minimum of three layers of wood and the grain of the middle layers runs at right angles to the outer layers. Simply give us a call to discuss your requirements.

Direct sunlight is a problem for hardwood floors. If you move a rug to discover that the floor underneath is lighter or darker than the surrounding wood, this is most likely to have been caused by sunlight. The fading, bleaching, or darkening of hardwood floors is caused by overexposure to UV light, visible light and infrared light. UV light has the biggest impact on the colour change of real wood. You can do a few things to minimise the effect of sunlight, which include: Rearranging your furniture regularly to even out the fading process Use curtains, shutters or blinds to defend against UV and infrared light Apply a UV & IT light inhibiting window film to your windows There is no way to completely avoid exposure to UV and infrared light. What you can do is reduce the amount of damaging light your floor is exposed to and balance the amount of light which reaches each part of the floor to ensure that it fades evenly.
