FIT FOR A KING
The Solid Wood Flooring Company talk us through a recent underfloor heating retrofit with the installation of herringbone parquet flooring.
Traditionally, underfloor heating has been most commonly fitted to new builds. However, there is the opportunity to install underfloor heating in many old houses, depending on subfloor and height levels.
The video above shows a recent installation that The Solid Wood Flooring Company was involved in. Firstly, contractors removed old tiles and the cement used to stick them down originally.
Then, they laid a self-insulating water pipe layout and installed the underfloor heating pipes.
A self levelling compound was applied at about 15 mm thick and then after curing, the herringbone parquet was fully bonded to this. The chosen flooring for this project was Deep Fumed Oak Herringbone Parquet fitted with Wood Flooring Adhesive SW 890 – a trowel-applied high quality flooring adhesive developed specifically for our timber flooring.
The SW 890 adhesive is an Elastic adhesive with a movement accommodation factor (MAF) of approximately 300% of the adhesive bed thickness. As such it distributes and lowers all shear stresses caused by expansion and contraction across the entire surface area of the adhesive, thus avoiding high stress peaks which normally form at the edges of boards with rigid adhesives causing premature failure. In this way the Elastic SW890 will withstand excessive movement and stress caused by changing climatic conditions throughout the seasons.
SW 890's formulation is completely water and solvent free, this eliminates the possibility of timber planks warping or cupping due to VOC's. With an open time of approximately 60 minutes this product is also ideal for use in large areas.
The importance of the crown line being allowed to fully cure can be seen by the perfect installation and final finish of our herringbone parquet floors.

We believe our finishes are the best in the market as can be seen after all the work has completed. We are continually adding to our range of herringbone and chevron parquet flooring which is becoming extremely popular.
On the Solid Wood Floor ng site you can use our Room Visualiser and take some images of your own rooms and then add different products. You can also use the existing room views however, we feel the best way is to visualise your own room.

We also offer our Impervia Herringbone flooring which is waterproof and fireproof and needs no adhesives or underlay. This floor can be floated on a perfectly flat subfloor and as it has a simple push fit system it is cheaper to fit than engineered herringbone wood flooring.
At the Solid wood Flooring Company, we are proud to be part of the Gone West mission of planting long-term forest in England. Please be assured that our prices will not increase because of this.
Our commitment is to plant 4,000 new oak trees every year, and as we use approximately 1,000 Oak trees every year for our Oak Wood Flooring, it means we are planting four new trees for every mature tree we cut down.
Once an oak tree reaches full maturity it takes less carbon from the atmosphere so we need to plant new forests and regenerate our old ones.
Many lessons have been taught to us throughout the trying year of 2020, and The Solid Wood Flooring Team are even more dedicated than before, to continue our commitment of sustaining our planet home, whilst creating stunning interior spaces for our likeminded clients.
