High-Quality Solid Wood Flooring for Mochdre Village Hall, North Wales
Another busy month for the Oakwill Flooring team and this time we feature a project we have completed in Mochdre, North Wales. Putting new wood flooring into a room can really transform a space. This flooring project in Mochdre Village hall was no exception . This time it was 150 square meters of beautiful solid oak boards which were pre finished with a hardwearing UV lacquered natural finish.
Old Damaged floor
Uplifting The Old Floor & Fixing The Subfloor
Uplifting the tired old flooring was our first big task, and like with any flooring project ensuring the sub floor is dry and structurally sound is a must. Firstly we had to repair the existing floorboards and when this was complete it was onto laying the underlay. To lay a solid wood floor it is crucial that the subfloor is not damp so to be extra sure we first laid a Serenity Underwood Stamina which is a rubber crumb underlay developed to enhance the performance of wood and laminate flooring by providing resilience, durability, moisture resistance, and superior impact sound insulation.
Fitting The Solid New Wood Floor
Then it was onto fitting the solid oak flooring. With the floor being laid on a cushioned underlay the floor was laid in a floating floor technique. A floating wood floor is a type of flooring installation method where the individual wood planks or boards are not directly attached to the subfloor or the floor beneath them. After setting out a line we began from one side of the room- We used Gorilla wood glue to fix the boards together on the tongue and grooves of the planks and clamped the first few rows to keep the boards nice and straight. Making sure all joints were together tightly and planks staggered we continued across the floor. We also allowed a 15mm expansion gap around the perimeter of the room to allow for expansion. I’m sure you’ll agree the final result was stunning!
