Woodstrip Flooring

Woodstrip flooring not only looks good, it's simple to maintain and doesn't harbour dust or other allergy-inducing irritants. Solid wood flooring is the most expensive option and, because it's quite complex to do properly, laying it should only be attempted by very competent DIY enthusiasts. Laminated and wood-imprint planks, though, are easy to lay. Once the planks are in place they form a continuous 'floating' floor, with a gap around the edge that's concealed with lengths of wooden beading. This gap allows the wood to expand slightly if there are changes in temperature or humidity.
