Blackfen living rooms — fitted with Engineered wood
The living room in a 1930s bay-fronted semi sees more traffic than people think, and DA15 is no different. We fit Engineered wood across Blackfen every month — mostly in Almost entirely 1930s bay-fronted semis-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 living room — living rooms, dining rooms and hallways where the look of solid oak matters.
