Grey Flooring in Burnley

Grey runs through three ranges here, engineered oak, laminate and rigid vinyl, from the pale washed greys to smoked and concrete tones, so the colour can be chosen first and the material chosen for the room. In Burnley 91% of homes are houses, most of them terraced houses (47%), so the questions are the subfloor and the underlay rather than impact sound.

Grey in Burnley

Grey flooring in Burnley: what the housing says

The Burnley district counts 39,873 households in the 2021 census, and the mix of houses and flats in that count is what decides how a grey floor is specified here.

Terraced houses are 47% of the homes in Burnley, and a terraced front room in Burnley faces one way and gets one light; a grey that looks pale in the showroom can go blue in a north-facing room. The Weybridge Light Grey Oak and the Weybridge Grey Washed Oak are stained oaks, so the grain warms the grey; the samples are the way to see which grey the room makes.

Private renting is 24% of households in Burnley, and a grey floor is the rental floor in Burnley for the reason letting agents give: it photographs well and it hides dust. The grey laminates take the dry rooms and the grey SPC the wet ones; the Victorian Antique Smoked Grey Oak is the grey for a let that trades on its interior.

Local fact sheet

Burnley's homes, by the numbers

Burnley in the 2021 census: 39,873 households, 91% houses, 9% flats.

Fewer than one Burnley home in ten is a flat, so an order out at Gawthorpe or Hapton with Park is usually the whole envelope, hall and stairs and landing with it. No lease governs the build-up, no communal structure needs protecting, and no neighbour is living underneath the joists.

Terraces outnumber every other kind of home in Burnley, street after street through Bank Hall, Gannow, Brunshaw and Daneshouse with Stoneyholme. Ownership has dropped sharply since the last census while private renting rose to roughly a quarter of households, so a great many floors across BB10, BB11 and BB12 are a landlord’s call.

Houses climbing out of the valley to Briercliffe and Cliviger stand more exposed than the town below, and are heated in bursts rather than steadily. A board should reach the room's own temperature before it is cut, and a moisture barrier belongs at the base.

Delivery times and options depend on the delivery postcode. See Delivery & Returns for the applicable estimate.

Guides

Before you choose

Before you order in Burnley

  • See the grey in the room A grey shifts with the light more than a natural oak does. Two or three samples on the floor for a day, morning and evening.
  • Material for the room, colour for the eye The grey oaks for the dry, seen rooms; the grey SPC for the kitchen and bathroom; the grey laminate for bedrooms and landings.
  • Stained oak can be sanded back A grey oak with a 3 mm wear layer can be taken back to natural later. A grey decor cannot.
  • Grey in a narrow room A terraced front room is narrow and lit from one end. A pale grey opens it; a dark grey closes it. Two samples at the window and at the far wall settle it.

Questions

Grey flooring in Burnley: questions, answered

Which grey floor suits a north-facing room in Burnley?

A grey with warmth in it: the stained oaks or the mid greys rather than the palest washed tones, which can turn blue in cool light. Samples in the actual room settle it faster than any description.

Is grey oak real wood?

The grey oaks in the range are oak boards that have been stained, smoked or limed, so the grain shows through the colour and the board can be sanded and refinished. The grey laminates and vinyls are printed decors.

Can I have a grey floor in the kitchen?

The grey rigid-vinyl planks and the concrete-look SPC tiles are listed as waterproof and belong in a kitchen. The grey oaks and laminates stay in the dry rooms.

Can I order flooring samples to my Burnley address?

You can, and to the whole spread – an address at Barrowford, Reedley or Clover Hill gets them by post like any other. Stand the sample against the skirting you are keeping; a board that fights the existing joinery shows it worst on the landing.

Do you deliver grey flooring to Burnley?

Yes. We deliver across Burnley and Lancashire from our UK warehouse, including the BB10, BB11 and BB12 postcode districts. Delivery cost and timing depend on the delivery postcode and are shown at checkout, and samples come by post first so the floor can be seen in the room before the full order.

Can I see a grey sample before ordering in Burnley?

Yes: cut samples are £1.99 each, up to two per product, posted to your Burnley address. Two or three side by side on the floor, in the room's own light morning and evening, settle the colour faster than any photograph.
