Wooden floor in kitchen
Comments (5)We have had a wood floor in our kitchen for 13 yrs now, and we love it. Ours was finished on site, (more durable than engineered) with 3 coats of water based poly on it. It is just now that I am getting ready to recoat it. I have had both engineered and site finished hardwood,. The engineered didn't hold up as well, and we stripped off the finish and applied a new finish. It's more durable now. Finishing on site is more disruptive to your family and home, but it is worth it, because of the durability that comes with it. You won't be sorry at all about the hardwood. It is warm in the winter, and cool in the summer. In the kitchen especially, you have to clean up water, ice cubes, etc asap, and you have to be sure that you have a good dishwasher that doesn't leak (you don't have to put it under the entire dishwasher, just a few boards under the front and in the back). If there's a little water that you don't find immediately, and do later...ice maker leak,etc, in all likelihood, the grain will be raised, but in most cases, it will go down, and be okay. We love our hardwood floors, and hope that you will too. We have it all the way through our first floor, even in our powder room. It's terrific. I would never have tile in my common areas, it's cold and hard on your joints. We only have tile in our upstairs bathrooms. It's great there....See MoreRe-engineered wood versus wood effect tile floor
Comments (4)I assume you meant "floor". Tiles are usually considered the safer option in areas that have potential for spills or floods. Do you have heavy traffic (shoes worn in house, animals, children, etc) in these areas? If so, then you will have to worry about scratches in the wood and the occasional sanding/refinishing of the floor. You will definitely want the underfloor heating if you live in an area that gets cold. It is a personal choice, as I put wood in my kitchen/sitting room, because I love the warm look and feel of wood. However, I constantly worry about the scratches from the chairs and stools. We don't wear shoes in the house, nor do we have any animals, but I have had to put felt pads on all of the legs of the furniture....See MoreFire hearth flush with wooden floor or not??
Comments (1)It depends on the style of your fireplace Stephen - traditional looks more comfortable with a step. Modern you can more easily go with flush. Your photographs almost answer your own question....See MoreRecommendation for flooring company

3 years agoWe would recommend Nagle flooring in Harrow. We originally bought ours from an online company and were so disappointed as the sample they originally gave us just happened to be the lightest sample they had ever had and so when the flooring arrived it was a good 7 shades darker. We eventually sent it back at cost. We then went to Nagle flooring where they were kind enough to let me open up a few boxes to confirm I was getting the same product throughout. It was perfect! Just remember to order that 10-20% over and all the duff ones where the colour is too light or too dark and the filling of the natural wood is too large. To keep them aside and use them where furniture will be out of sight. We used the extras as shelving in the under stair cupboard.
We used a carpenter to install them, but the night before I opened all the boxes and separated the perfect ones from the duff ones and graded them into piles of 4, so I got a choice in where I wanted the perfect boards.
In lockdown, we completed the rest of the laying of the floors and we did it ourselves. My husband has renovated most of the house and actually did a much better job than the carpenters!
Best advice, is to see a few boxes before you buy. Then separate and grade it before anyone starts the job!
