Where to buy wooden flooring

BarraOG

Hi,

We're thinking about throwing out all the carpet in our house since its effecting the children's asthma and putting down a wooden click floor instead. The area involved is over 120 square meters.

Were interested in a simple real/engineered wood floor in oak, light in colour. Which companies would you recommend in terms of getting a reasonable price? We live in the Midlands but can travel to Dublin or elsewhere if its worth it.

Thanks,

Barra

Brooks or Noyeks.

A proper engineered laminate - something like 6mm oak on 8mm ply is not really click together stuff but it will last a lifetime.

Were you thinking of the cheap mdf based stuff? You get what you pay for there.

I'm looking to put down a floor which will last for decades rather than years, thats why I want to avoid laminate. So we're looking for Engineered Flooring with a click system or even tongue and groove so we can lay it ourselves.

recently got flooring in brooks
we got cheap laminate though. not what I wanted, but with three kids it was what everyone recommended.
have to say, the price was very very very good, and the quality was certainly not as cheap as I though. it is actually pretty decent stuff.
they did have some great deals on semi solid flooring and junkers. I don't think you will find anywhere as good value as here

Oh im not sure. Have a spare pack somewhere that ill check out details. Paid about 13 per sq mtr including vat.
It was an oak finish

Actually the name dublin oak springs to mind

Then again..... Maybe im miles away. Lol

Click engineered is expensive as far as I know.
Tongue and groove is easy enough to install, but you will need braces/clamps to get a good tight joint.
If it's in bedrooms upstairs id recommend using a fibre board 5 or 7 mm, to prevent your kids sounding like elephants when upstairs:)

Place in Dublin called floor design off Naas road and they sell to the public. (No affiliation )
Hope this helps

I meant in the wooden flooring line if they did anything other than just laminates. Hard to tell from the website what's what - I'll ring them instead.
