The solid (10mm) wood blocks don't always have to be installed in a herringbone pattern.
Running comments from our proud client during and after the installation, sanding and finishing of his "bespoke" design floor:
"I glued the final pieces in place this morning and I’m very pleased with the results. It took longer than I expected because of the cutting around the 5 doorways and the stairs but I have an excellent mitre saw which proved invaluable. I have the sanding machines arriving on Saturday and will be finished sometime over the weekend.
Had a busy Bank Holiday and I didn’t manage to waxoil the floor until Tuesday and I’m very pleased with the colour.
I found the Trio sander very nice to work with.
I just have to finish fixing skirtings, carpets and thresholds.
Thanks for your help and advice."
