WOODEN WONDERS
If it’s wood fl ooring you’re after, there’s plenty of choice around at the moment. Wood fl ooring is always lovely, and the Galleria range from UK Flooring Direct shows off the natural texture of the grain, with characteristic whirls, knots and cracks, fi nished off and protected with a roller brushing and oil treatment which gives the fl ooring a subtle matt sheen that refl ects light around the room. Built for durability, the solid wood wear

layer increases in depth and intensity as it matures with age. We also love Imperio engineered wood
fl ooring from Quick-Step Hardwood, with its gentle grey tone permeated by knots and cracks. Its extra wide and extra long planks add an air of country style, which works especially well in a large, open living space.
Or how about the new Urban Nature Collection, which has just been launched by V4 Woodfl ooring, a leading supplier of responsibly-sourced, premium hardwood fl ooring? Inspired by the beauty of urban landscapes reclaimed by nature, the range has six multi-ply engineered rustic oak fl oors, each with unique hand-fi nished surfaces.

Underfl oor heating continues to rise in popularity, but fi nding the right fl ooring to use with this can be tricky. Leoline Floors’ cushion vinyl is one possible solution. It’s a hardwearing vinyl with a particularly low R-value and Tog rating, meaning heat can effi ciently pass through the fl ooring and into your room, and it comes in a range of designs, with the added benefi t of being easy to clean and maintain.
