I know nothing. Well, I know laminate is cheap and cheerful but I don't want that.
I have a manky old carpet in my living room and feel that,bwith three children, a dog and a cat who likes to claw carpet, a wooden floor is a more practical option. I envisage adding a large (and easily replaceable) rug.
What are the options and the pros and cons of them?
I don't feel sanding the boards is really worth it as I think it would be quite draughty - even the carpet feels cold near where the air bricks are. Budget is not really a deciding factor but I am more likely to go for a mid range option.
What I would really like is a beautiful herringbone parquet floor in golden oak but I'm being realistic!! Sadly there isn't one hiding under the manky carpet :)
At the moment I'm just mulling it over and I just wanted to know what the different types of wooden flooring are.
Thanks :)
