New Eltham conservatorys — fitted with Engineered wood
The conservatory in a 1930s bay-fronted semi sees more traffic than people think, and SE9 is no different. We fit Engineered wood across New Eltham every month — mostly in 1930s bay-fronted semis with a scattering of post-war infill-era stock — and the job is 60% preparation. Once the subfloor is right, Engineered wood goes down cleanly and reads square to the room. Engineered wood is one of the strongest choices for a conservatory — living rooms, dining rooms and hallways where the look of solid oak matters.

- 3mm+ real wood top layer — can be sanded once in its life
