Our solution
We took a thorough, preparation-first approach – inspecting and levelling all subfloors before a single board was laid. By coordinating closely with the other trades involved, we were able to deliver the intricate herringbone pattern with clean borders at every junction, on time and to a high standard.
Why thorough subfloor preparation matters
With a project of this complexity – multiple trades, intricate borders, and a large entertaining area – the subfloor is the foundation everything else depends on. By checking and levelling every surface before installation began, we could guarantee clean, consistent joins at every meeting point and a finish that would hold up over time.
