I want to fit engineered wood in through sitting room, dining room (about 27foot long).
I want a product that fulfills the following criteria but can't seem to find one:
Engineered wood
Construction - multi-layer plywood (not MDF or single core wood)
Prime or select grade - it's a modern house so can't look too rustic
Light Oak (dining room doesn't get much light so light flooring is essential)
Single Wide Planks - around 189mm as the area is large and can take it
T&G Installation (not click)
Oiled (not laquered)
Min 3mm top layer
Prefer max 15mm thick (in top layer) but would consider 21mm
I am drowning in samples. I thought I had it cracked on Saturday when I received a sample that ticked all the boxes. I went to re-check the product spec before ordering and the website said it was not plywood construction like the sample they had sent me. It was spruce core. So I emailed them to check. Got a very vague response saying that a) my order would be identical to the sample (i.e. multi-layer plywood) and b) the website is correct and it's a single spruce core (i.e.not multi-layer.
I don't feel that I want to order from the supplier I had originally chosen as their response hasn't filled me with confidence!
Another supplier's website I have looked at suggests this 'actual product is inferior to the sample' practise is quite common.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Can anyone suggest something that may be suitable.
Installer has been booked for beginning of April and the clock is ticking for me!
Thank you
