As with all other aspects of your conservatory, the choice
of flooring will reflect your needs and the purpose for
which the extension will be used.
Until relatively recently the choice was between ceramic
tiles, laminated timber, carpet or vinyl. Now a product
known as engineered hardwood flooring has been developed
to meet the needs of people who yearn for the look and
feel of a timber floor. (Note that solid timber flooring
is not recommended due to the problems of warping from
the build-up of heat.)Engineered hardwood flooring is proving
extremely popular since it is hygienic and easy to clean,
warm in winter and cool in summer, lasts a lifetime and
even improves with age. It has to be professionally installed
and comes with a 25-year manufacturer’s guarantee.
An added benefit is that it can be used with a special
range of under floor heating.
