Introducing the Elgin Blackberry Oak. Natural, rustic and full of charm, the Blackberry Oak will take you to a country cottage after blackberry picking on a sunny evening. The extra wide planks add to the traditional cottage feel and would look stunning in a large space such as a living room or dining room. The bevelled edges make a feature of the width of the boards. The finish of this engineered board is smooth with a layer of oil to give the real wood veneer some protection. This floor is outstanding quality with a 20mm thickness and 6mm wear layer, meaning you’ll be able to sand and refinish this floor multiple times over its 60 year plus lifespan. |
If you’re looking to install solid or engineered wood flooring by hand, here are a few things to bear in mind:
Tongue and Groove vs ClickBefore you purchase your solid wood flooring, check which installation system it uses. There are two main types: ‘Tongue and Groove’ and ‘Click’.
• Tongue and Groove is more traditional, ensuring dimensional stability and strength. Along one edge, a ‘tongue’ protrudes from the centre of the board, whilst on the other, an indented groove is cut into the wood. This allows each board to fit together securely.
• Click installation is quick and hassle free. Like tongue and groove, click boards fit together, however, the click method allows the boards to lock into place, snapping together with a single movement.
FloatingMany fitters prefer floating their boards due to quick and easy installation. Floating does not require you to fix your flooring to a subfloor. Both click and tongue and groove planks can be fitted this way.
Adhesive is applied to the groove for added stability, and underlay is fitted underneath the board. This cuts down on labour, whilst ensuring that your boards are comfortable and strong underfoot.
FixingFixing your flooring to the subfloor will encourage a long lifespan and minimal movement. Both Tongue and Groove and Click boards can be fitted this way, however, it is more popular with the former.
Depending on the material of your subfloor, boards can be fixed in a variety of ways. For solid surfaces such as concrete, adhesive is applied directly under the board. For wooden subfloors, the boards can be ‘secret nailed’ along the tongue. Both methods are equally beneficial, giving you outstanding results.
