Types of timber floor finishings

Ordinary tongue-and-groove floorboards may be laid onto a smooth, level screeded surface once the screed has cured and dried. But there are also quite a lot of other products that are now available. Examples include:

• solid floorboard products that lock into one another or are fixed with a special glue,

• modular strips of solid wood that clip together,

• veneered wood products that are either glued or installed using a specialised floating system,

• wood laminate flooring that is cheaper than solid wood and fixed with glue or laid loose on a screed, and

• parquet flooring that is glued to the screed.

Most of these products are available from specialist flooring outlets that provide an installation service.
