Wood Floors - Dulwich Picture Gallery

Thankyou! I can guarantee it never looks like that... It's a toy waste ground most of the time :-)


It took months of researching, visiting wood suppliers and installers to find the two I recommended - so I hope other people benefit from that time spent!


ETA - just remember that for parquet the cost of fitting can be similar ? p.sq.m as the floor itself. And i'd always err against cutting any costs on the installer side.


I used the leftovers for a tiny downstairs cupboard and think of myself as quite handy but it was an absolute nightmare to get right...

Dear Sheff - thanks for the pic, looks amazing. Sorry to try your patience, but is that the engineered "oak aged parquet block", 280x70mm - and which finish - Antique or Millrn maybe? And last question, did you have to oil or wax after installation? As you say, you can lose days researching this stuff online, so any pointers very gratefully received!

thanks,

Tom

Hi Tom,


Looking at the supplier I can't see the exact sort we had.

This is the most similar they have now - http://www.naturalwoodfloor.co.uk/floor/434 but ours was solid, similar price though.


This is almost exactly the same from another supplier - but this wasn't the cost! It was more in the ?45 a sqm bracket.

So ours was 280 x 70mm and then unfinished. It was solid, not engineered. If you are having underfloor then engineered is the way to go.


They laid the whole lot, it had a very light sand and was then finished in Osmo Hardwax Oil which was clear.


I've got quite a few pieces left if you wanted one to compare to other products etc.


Matt


ETA: - the naturalwood floor one though is pretty much it though.

    • Do also remember that, whilst this is the original there is an unrelated FB presence with a (very) similar name, which might also be prayed in aid. 
    • Yet another increase, its absolutely disgusting. I was charged £7.95 to send documents recorded delivery last week. I asked for the Signed for option that only costs £2.50 but the Post Office refused & said they would only send them recorded delivery. 
    • Thanks Admin for clarifying - I’ve now found the post they used to scrape my telephone number from. So it wasn’t a data breach from EDF, rather my foolishness posting it online 15 years ago…    Still leaving this thread here if that’s ok so that people are aware of this scam and don’t fall foul of it (also to think twice before posting phone numbers here as it can be used by any one as I’ve found out!)
    • There is deliberately nowhere to enter your phone number, name, address etc anywhere when registering an account on this forum. There never has been. There is no way to attach this sort of personal information to your account.  If someone says that EDF has given your phone number, then this is a lie. No personal information is sold to any third party and it is not collected in the first place.
