New Floor

We finally had our floor laid in the dining room/ kitchen area. Above you can see the 4mm ply on the left that was put down to even things out just a bit more. And on the right you see the untreated oak engineered board. Engineered board has a layer of oak attached to a layer of plywood. This allows less oak to be used and less shrinkage and movement in the floor at large. These pictures are taken after two layers of oiling have dried. It is exactly the colour we want. Most people go for the really light oak, but we thought the mid range colour would bring a really warm feel to the room. We love it! The washing machine is currently sitting in the fireplace as it was the only piece that wasn't being wooded. The fitters put a nice wood feature around the green marble hearth (which we have yet to clean up). Wow.
