After much deliberation on which flooring to use in our extension, I have fallen in love with the flooring in this picture.

However I have been looking at all the wooden floors on B&Q, Wickes etc websites and none seem to be the same.

Does anyone know where I can find this type of flooring?

Thanks

It appears to be solid oak. But you want to look closely at the finish. These guys seem to sell something close to it. They all look different on websites though so it's worth going and taking a look at the actual samples in store (or call them and ask them to send you a sample). We used solid american red oak and it looks fan bloody tastic but was exceptionally expensive and if you ever need to replace a bit is almost impossible to get!

Solid wood is v good with gloss cabinets but try not to get an overly polished floor or it looks clinical.

Thanks WMMC.

Maybe I should employ you as my interior designer

I wouldn't. I have exceptionally expensive tastes!

fanjolina · 07/02/2009 21:33

So do I, but unfortunately not always the budget to match.

(Well unless I want to stop indulging in my expensive holiday habit!)

Go to nice hotels and steal the flooring then!
