I chose a hardwood flooring with a slight white sheen in the varnish. You see the sheen if you look at a low angle.
But it's less obvious looking down on the wood. I'm assured that with this varnish the colour will not tan with age.
The brown layer is soundproofing underlay. In total, this floor has:-
- A layer of wire netting supporting 6" of glass fibre insulation;
- A 1" layer of plywood flooring
- A 3/4" layer of sound-proofing foam
- A 3/4" layer of chipboard
- Another 3/4" layer of sound-proofing foam
- A 16mm layer of hardwood floor.
The flooring was made by Kahrs. It has a nifty woodloc system. The planks have hook shaped edges which latch together. No glue. This whole hardwood floor was laid in less than a day.
The step into the Snug has a nose glued on. It's flush.
Once laid, the floor was covered with protective surface.
Heck! There's a box left over!
The shower room tiling is moving ahead. the alcove will contain the basin.
The right hand side is the shower space, the left hand side is for the toilet. I chose "brick wall" style of tiling pattern rather than straight lines.
