Living Room Flooring in Bedford

Engineered oak in the width the room can carry is the floor most living rooms in Bedford end up with: it looks like the solid timber it is on top, takes underfloor heating and can be sanded. A herringbone suits a room with length, laminate suits a budget, and rigid vinyl suits a living room that opens onto the kitchen.

Wide boards calm a large room and dominate a small one; narrow boards suit a terraced front room. The range runs from 90 mm solid boards to 220 mm engineered planks, and the plank-width guide linked below weighs it up.

The rigid-vinyl range can run through both, because it is listed as waterproof. An oak floor stops at the kitchen door or accepts the risk of a leak; many Bedford homes run the oak to the threshold and the vinyl beyond it in a matching tone.

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.

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