Installing Woodstrip Flooring

Woodstrip flooring not only looks great, but it's easy to maintain and doesn't harbor dust or other allergy-inducing irritants. Solid wood flooring is the most expensive option and, as it's quite complex to do properly, laying it should only be attempted by the professionals or very competent DIY enthusiasts.

However, laminated and wood-imprint planks, are quite easy to lay. Once the planks are in place they form a continuous 'floating' floor, with a gap around the edge that's concealed with lengths of wooden beading. This gap allows the wood to expand slightly if there are changes in temperature or humidity.
