Mr and Mrs Wilson came to view products at The Floor Barn Ltd. At first the customers were unsure of what kind of flooring would work in their home. The current carpet laid in the dining room was causing problems with the functionality of the space and the customers hadn’t been best pleased with the previous installation. Customers furniture was a key focal point of the selection process too as they wanted a floor that would compliment the furniture and not overshadow it.

Our customers spent time with Sarah in store looking through all the options available. After our estimator had attended the property to measure, Sarah contacted Mr and Mrs Wilson with the multiple quotes so they could consider their options of products.

Below you will see photographs capturing the floors our customers wanted to update.

A Spectacular Flooring Transformation

Our customers had a great experience. We uplifted the old flooring and prepared ready for the fitting of the new Dining room laminate flooring as we as Associated Weavers twist carpet on the firsts stairs and Lounge. Our fitters even vacuumed and repositioned all furniture.

At The Floor Barn Ltd we want our customers to love the floor they choose whether its a herringbone lvt, a carpet or other hard floors to a new stunning rug.

Sarah met Mr and Mrs Brown in the store earlier this year. The customers wanted to make their house a home and so came to view a few of the new karndean ranges. The customers had recently moved and they had inherited a karndean floor which was dated. (You can see the old flooring pictures below).

They had seen a few different grey herringbones, however Sarah suggested viewing the Art Select, for colour choice and the size of the art select is 9″ x 3″, a good size for trasitioning throughout multiple rooms. Once they saw the Storm Oak Herringbone Lvt in the Art Select they knew this was the floor for them.

Art Select – Storm Oak Herringbone LVT

The first day was preparation day. The fitting team needed to uplift and dispose of old flooring. Once the old floors were removed they could investigate the subfloor. We want our floors to last a long time and we as a Team understand that the floor installed is only as good as the preparation work.

The fitters found a few issues with the subfloor meaning that extensive preperation work was needed. This was due to hall entrance subfloor where they found raised brickwork half inch higher than rest of subfloor. The also found under the wood at side was just large voids.

The voids were not filled in correctly instead bricks that had been broken down with breakers had been put into the voids. So our fitting team had to correct this by doing the following.

The team filled the voids with new timbers securing them to the joists. The team then had to ground down all the old tile adhesive with industrial grinders. Once this part of the prep was complete the rapid mortar repair work started.

Once the mortar repair was complete the chemical dpm was put down. Leading onto the installation of the new subfloor ply and screeded to create a level of smooth transition.

This expert flooring team work extremely hard to repair and put right the problems with the exisiting subfloor before any standard preparation could begin.

All preparation work done – it was time to finally start installaing the new floor. creating a modern parquet look with the ashy grey tones of Storm Oak. The floor features a handscraped emboss that gives an authentic look without the difficult upkeep, it’s the perfect style to add character to this space.

Truly amazed at the effort and skill our Fitting Team have given to make this stunning, gorgoeus transformation. I personally think our customers will be blown away by the finished result.

LVT Flooring – Labour of Love

See the before and in-between pictures of the detailed labour that has gone into preparing the floors before actual installation of the new floor could begin. A mixture of old floor coverings including matting on the ramp and domestic laminate on the dance floor area were uplifting. Once the subfloors were visible it was clear that the subfloor had multiple height levels and gradients that need extensive preparation.

Subfloors were prepared with the use of ply, screeds and feather finishes to make a smooth surface. A vital part to enable the LVT Flooring to be installed making the finished floor flow throughout the venue.

Lvt Flooring – Installation Begins

Below you can transformation taking place. Sheer hard work and dedication to preparing the subfloors from the Flooring team. An amazing LVT Flooring installation project from start to finish.

Van Gogh-Distressed Oak VGW82T

Our customer has an open plan kitchen. In the conservatory the floor was fitted with old ceramics. The Floor Barn Fitting team spent some time preparing the floors. All the old ceramic tiles were uplift, revealing a concrete subfloor. This was primed and braced step for screed bleed and screed-ed with na screed.

NA is a premium latex screed. It can be applied over virtually any substrate such as old adhesive residues and ceramics. Suitable to receive floor coverings after 4 hours

The kitchen area was then fitted with a 9mm ply and then feathered.

The customer opted for a fresh new look with the Van Gogh – distressed oak flooring. This plank floor was fitted on a 45 degree angle. The customer was extremely pleased with the finished results.

Take a look at some of the pictures below showcasing a superb LVT Flooring installation.

The old fully stuck vinyl had to be uplifted before the new flooring could be installed. Once the vinyl was fully uplifted our flooring fitters screed-ed the whole sub-floor and then applied chemical DPM. Once this stage was complete a further final screed was applied and buffed down. This process is paramount to the final finish of the floor. A Perfect looking floor is hard to accomplish without the extreme lengths of sub floor preparation.

Preparing the floor is vital for any LVT to become a statement.
