Engineered wood questions from Whitstable customers
Will engineered wood work over underfloor heating?
Yes — engineered wood is the recommended real-wood option over UFH. We glue down and commission the heating gradually to avoid any board movement.
Can you supply samples?
Yes — sample boards are brought to your Whitstable address at the survey, and we keep a board library in our Gillingham warehouse.
Can you fit herringbone oak in a Whitstable period property?
Yes — herringbone is one of our most-requested formats in older Whitstable properties. We template the room, set the centreline carefully and finish with a proper border and threshold detail.
Can the floor be refinished later?
Yes — most quality engineered boards can be sanded back and refinished 1-3 times depending on wear-layer thickness.
How quickly can you survey in Whitstable?
Most Whitstable surveys are booked within 48 hours of your enquiry. We cover all of the CT5 district from our local warehouse.
