Grey Flooring in Wrexham

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 Wrexham 89% of homes are houses, most of them semi-detached houses (38%), so the questions are the subfloor and the underlay rather than impact sound.

Grey flooring in Wrexham: what the housing says

The Wrexham district counts 57,916 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 38% of the Wrexham 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.

Detached houses are 32% of the homes in Wrexham, and a large room carries a pale grey well: the Weybridge Whitewashed Oak and the light grey laminates open the space where a dark floor would close it. In a large kitchen the concrete-look SPC tiles are the grey that is also listed as waterproof.

Social renting is 21% of households in Wrexham, and grey laminate and grey rigid vinyl are the specification across that stock for the same practical reasons: they hide wear between inspections and sit with any wall colour a tenant chooses. A tenant fitting a floor in that stock needs the landlord's written consent first; the click floors lift again at the end of the tenancy.

Local fact sheet

Wrexham's homes, by the numbers

Wrexham in the 2021 census: 57,916 households, 88% houses, 11% flats.

Getting on for nine of every ten Wrexham homes are houses, and the converted flat is close to absent, so an order here is normally the whole place at once rather than a single room in a shared building. From LL11 through to LL13 that is one decision covering the ground floor and the stairs.

Wrexham grew on the collieries and the breweries, and much of the terraced stock dates from those years: suspended timber at ground level over a void, wanting levelling before anything is laid. Semis and detached houses make up the bulk of the stock, while the later housing towards Brymbo is more often solid.

A ground floor at Brynyffynnon or Cartrefle runs colder than the room and trades moisture with it all season; the later stock does not. Condition boards where they will live.

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

Guides

Before you choose

Before you order in Wrexham

  • 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 in a large room A wide grey plank in a big room reads calmer than a narrow one. The 190 mm Weybridge Light Grey oak suits that room; sample it at the window and at the far wall.
  • Grey vinyl for the turnover A grey rigid vinyl with a 0.55 mm wear layer hides the marks between tenancies. A tenancy agreement usually needs the landlord's consent for a hard floor first.

Questions

Grey flooring in Wrexham: questions, answered

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

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 Wrexham address?

Yes, and a request written Wrecsam reaches us the same as one written Wrexham. Ask for more than one square, too: the board you pick in one room here ends up in rooms you were not standing in when you chose it.

Do you deliver grey flooring to Wrexham?

Yes. We deliver across Wrexham and North Wales from our UK warehouse, including the LL11, LL12 and LL13 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 Wrexham?

Yes: cut samples are £1.99 each, up to two per product, posted to your Wrexham 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.
