Got to have engineered as underfloor heating. Can't stand wood that looks laminate/fake...what is the best engineered around?

Don't use Naked Floors in Brighton! Their products look beautiful in the showroom and the day they are installed but terrible a week later and the aftercare is absolutely non-existent.

We'll probably have to replace ours so am watching with interest.

Wouldn't say it's the best but we used discountflooringdirect. It's been down two years now and it is still good. You can get samples sent to you for free and then afterwards we got an email giving us another 10% off.

We've got engineered wooden flooring by Furlong. I think it's called One Step 189.

It's been down 2 years and looks great still.

Sorry it's Next Step 189.

Thanks

I don't trust anyone - I've ordered loads of samples from different places and I don't like any of em so far..

When we had ours done we got a local carpenter to do it.
He brought some samples which were much better quality than the ones I'd sent off for. Sorry I don't know where he got it from but it might be an idea for you to contact some local tradesmen.

Can I suggest you visit a showroom? I spent weeks ordering samples, receiving little bits of wood in the post, not liking any of them, ordering more and so on and so on. Half an hour in a showroom with full sized pieces to look at, and I found what I wanted. I have been very happy with Havwoods and their customer service, but haven't installed it yet so cannot comment on quality.
