Engineered wood in a Barnehurst living room — common questions
Yes — it's one of the more common choices for a living room in Barnehurst, and it holds up well against sunlight fade near the bay window.
A typical Barnehurst living room is one working day for the install, plus a separate morning if subfloor screed is needed. We'll confirm at the site visit.
Sometimes yes, sometimes not — most Barnehurst 1930s bay-fronted semis have either original floorboards or a solid screed underneath. We check moisture and level as part of the survey and quote any prep separately.
