At Kite, we believe one of the challenges with buying a floor is you never know if you’re getting a good deal and one of the main reason for this is that most retailers only sell floors through sales.
We have different types of clients at Kite. Some choose a floor before they have bought a house.
For most of our clients, when they approach us, they’re working on their first renovation, so when it comes to flooring, we need to start at the beginning.
We know there are 1,000s of flooring options out there, and the process of finding a new floor can be super confusing.
Here’s the hard truth. Sometimes, you can’t fit flooring. So, we’ve written a blog, listing several common themes that delay fitting and/or cause cost creep.
This guide isn’t intended to be a DIY article, as unless you’re a DIY expert, fitting parquet is best left to professionals.
There are almost limitless options with wood flooring, which is confusing; we generally don’t buy flooring every day! Our advice is to think along two lines; Design and Quality.
Professional fitters are not right for every project. But if you’re looking for a high-quality finish on your wood floor, and want that floor to perform over many years, then we would always recommend spending a little more money to achieve this.
At Kite, our mission is to find you the perfect floor. And whilst we mainly specialise in wooden flooring we also know it isn’t the only option out there.
So, you’ve just had a new wood floor fitted. One of the next questions people always ask is, “How do I maintain it?”
Many people don’t know you can fit a floor floated, glued down or nailed. Here we discuss how to choose the best strategy.
When we launched our business in 2018, we were surprised by the number of flooring strategies, even from professional floor buyers.
If you’re trying to choose between light, dark, or any other colour of wood flooring, there are two main factors we consider; the style of the room, and the light in the room.
