Anyone got Dinesen Flooring?

[befuzzled]

If so who did you get to fit it?

Hi Floormaster, I am looking to have all the woodwork on the entire groundlfoor of my house including flooring, skirting, door surrounds and stairs replaced and have fallen in love with Dinesen. By your message it seems you have experience with Dinesen flooring and alternatives and I am hoping your both still in the business and available?

I have installed Dinesen and would never do it again.
It looks good but is expensive and you have to follow all the instructions.
When it is delivered - 5m lengths you have to store it in the room it's going to be laid immediately at the right temperature and hunditiy or it will cup especially if you have underfloor heating. So it looks good is hidiously expensive to buy and lay and there are a lot of other suppliers out there who will sell it at a far more reasonable cost.

Hi 'Befuzzled' - I've just come across your thread and wondered whether you ended up installing or not. Also there was someone else on this thread who did install but recommended against but that seemed to be more about the actual fitting of it rather than the look or indeed maintenance once finished. So please let me know if you installed as I too lOVE this look.

Hi, I see you did install Dineson but would never do again. I'm all too aware for the cost almost 40% more expensive than our next favourite which would be Engineered Ash and all too aware of the fact it has to be laid straight in as soon as it arrives otherwise you have to spend £150 a week storing in Dineson's warehouse. Also all too aware of the once a week soap and lye wash (if you don't go oiled) for first year and then once a month like forever!!! But it does appear to be in a league of its own. But I'd love to know whether you still regret it? Whether the pain of the installation has receeded and left you with loving the floor? Or whether the maintenance or price tear has been much of a nightmare to compensate for the look?

Also discovering the cost of the Soap & Lye wash itself...

What makes the Dinesen so expensive are the extras ie the delivery from Denmark - £4k for us as opposed to a few hundred for the Ash, then the finishing which takes a traditional floor fit from the £40-45 psm to about £60 depending on who you go to.

I'd just so love to hear from someone who says "It's worth it!" or the opposite if that's really the case from someone who has it. Anyone out there?

Hi, did you end up getting Dinesen Wood Flooring? We're debating between this and Engineered Ash at almost half the price but not quite the charm. Would love to know whether you went ahead and how you now feel if you had a minute? Lucy
