Grey Flooring in Farnborough
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 Farnborough roughly one home in 4 is a flat (28%), so sound through the floor matters alongside the base under it.

Grey flooring in Farnborough: what the housing says
The Rushmoor district counts 39,303 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.
Semi-detached houses are 32% of the Rushmoor stock, and the semi's knocked-through room has two lights, front and back. A single grey floor through both reads differently at each end, which is why the mid greys, the Cobham Smoked Grey Oak or the BML Grey Oak SPC Wide Flooring, are chosen more often than the palest ones for a long room.
Flats are 28% of the homes in the Rushmoor district, and grey is the colour most often chosen for a flat that is let or sold: it sits with white walls and with most furniture. In a flat the material is chosen for sound as well, which points to the rigid vinyl or the laminate on an acoustic underlay: the 8mm Laminate Rio, the BML Grey Oak SPC Click Flooring.

Local fact sheet
Farnborough's homes, by the numbers
Rushmoor in the 2021 census: 39,303 households, 72% houses, 28% flats.
“Read the lease before choosing the floor, not after it is down.”
A new floor in a GU14 block starts from a base that was poured level, which is not how the rest of this list begins. Almost everywhere the first money goes on levelling a timber floor that has moved; on the airfield land it does not, and that budget is free for the board itself.
What has changed in Farnborough is the volume of apartment building: the town centre and the former airfield land have added purpose-built flats to a stock that was already semis and terraces through Empress, Fernhill and Knellwood. Where the home is leasehold, the lease sets the impact sound requirement.
A screed poured recently is still giving up water, and much of what stands on the former airfield land is recent. Take a reading before anything goes down; where the heating sits in the slab, the board has to be rated for a warm base too.
Delivery times and options depend on the delivery postcode. See Delivery & Returns for the applicable estimate.
Guides
Before you choose
Before you order in Farnborough
- 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.
- Two rooms, one grey A knocked-through semi shows the same grey in front light and back light. Lay samples at both ends of the room before choosing; a warm grey reads differently at each.
- Grey over an acoustic underlay In a flat the underlay is chosen on its impact-sound figure before the colour; a grey laminate or SPC over it meets the lease, and the grey oak needs the same underlay.

Questions
Grey flooring in Farnborough: questions, answered
Which grey floor suits a north-facing room in Farnborough?
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 Farnborough address?
Yes, and if the flat is bought but not yet handed over, send the samples wherever you are living now and carry them to the next viewing. Knellwood, the airfield land, GU14 or GU16, it makes no difference which address the pieces go to.
Do you deliver grey flooring to Farnborough?
Yes. We deliver across Farnborough and Hampshire from our UK warehouse, including the GU14 and GU16 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 Farnborough?
Yes: cut samples are £1.99 each, up to two per product, posted to your Farnborough 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.
