Only a few scratches round the table. It was the most expensive but was the only company that Jennings dealt with at the time.
This time around we went with 3 strip merbau from UTF in Hoppers Crossing. We paid a deposit when it was on sale and the 3 strip is cheaper than the one strip so it was significantly cheaper than last time. I have noticed that it seems to scratch more easily than my last floor although it can't be too bad because I am the only one who seems to notice. It is a more satin finish than last time, maybe this makes a difference. Apparently UTF have a repair kit for small scratches matched to each of their flooring types. Like Epiphany we have beading (quad??) around the edges because PD won't tack on skirting boards. Some people hate it but I think it looks ok. 4 6010 Thanks, that's the motivation I needed to give it a try sooner rather than one day! 4 2993 I'm about to put down some Merbau. Is it necessary to oil underneath the boards before laying? 0 1921 |
