We are having new flooring installed (plus a damp proof membrane), and have the choice between solid pine floorboards, engineered oak, or solid oak. It is a large area, 50m2, to include hallway and two reception rooms.
The latter two oak floors would be more expensive than the pine floor. The pine floorboards can be stained professionally to give an oak effect and actually come up quite nicely (although not as nice in terms of depth of colour as the oak).
If we went for the pine floor, we could put the money saved towards some furniture! Just looking for some opinions really - which would be much appreciated . Has anyone had new pine flooring?
