Everything You Need For A Proper Installation
A quality floor starts below the surface. Proper installation depends on the right combination of adhesives, primers, and levelling compounds, all working together to create a stable and reliable base. Whether you’re fitting solid or engineered boards, preparing the subfloor correctly is essential to prevent movement, gaps, or long-term issues.
Our range includes professional-grade products from trusted names like Lecol and Wakol, giving you dependable performance at every stage of the installation process.
Underlays & Subfloor Preparation
The right underlay helps reduce noise, improves comfort underfoot, and adds a layer of protection against moisture from the subfloor. Options designed for underfloor heating also allow heat to transfer efficiently into the room without compromising performance. Combined with proper subfloor preparation, including primers where needed, these products help create a long-lasting foundation for your flooring.
Oils & Protection
Finishing oils are key to protecting your floor while bringing out the natural character of the timber. Hardwax oils, available in clear and coloured finishes, help guard against wear, staining, and moisture without masking the grain. They’re also easy to maintain and repair over time.
For high traffic areas, a hardening additive can be mixed in to increase durability, giving you a tougher finish where it matters most.
Finishing Touches
The details make the difference. Oak thresholds, ramp profiles, and end profiles create clean transitions between rooms and floor levels, while protecting exposed edges from wear.
Not to be overlooked, these finishing touches bring the whole installation together, ensuring your floor not only performs well but looks complete and professionally finished.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can flooring oils be repaired or reapplied?
One of the main advantages of hardwax oils is that they are easy to maintain. Small scratches or worn areas can be lightly sanded and re-oiled without needing to refinish the entire floor. This makes them a practical long-term choice compared to lacquered finishes, which often require full sanding and reapplication.
Do I need to oil pre-finished flooring?
Yes, applying a coat of hardwax oil is still recommended, even on pre-finished boards. This adds an extra layer of protection against wear and moisture regression, helping to extend the life of the floor. It also makes ongoing maintenance and spot repairs much easier over time.
Do I need underlay for engineered wood flooring?
Underlay is typically used when engineered flooring is floated over a subfloor. It helps with sound reduction, comfort, and minor subfloor imperfections. If you are bonding boards directly to a screed using adhesive, underlay is not required. For installations over underfloor heating, specialist low tog underlays are essential for efficient heat transfer.
What flooring accessories do I need for installation?
Most installations will require a combination of adhesives or floor glue, underlay (if floating), and suitable primers or levelling compounds, depending on the subfloor. Finishing products such as hardwax oils are also recommended to protect the surface once laid. The exact combination will depend on your flooring type, subfloor condition, and chosen fitting method.
What is the best adhesive for wood flooring?
The right adhesive depends on the installation method and subfloor. For bonding directly to screed or concrete, flexible adhesives such as Lecol or Wakol products are commonly used. For floating floors, a PVA glue applied to the tongue and groove provides stability. Always ensure the subfloor is dry and properly prepared before applying any adhesive.
What’s the difference between primers and levelling compounds?
Primers are used to prepare the subfloor, improving adhesion and controlling absorbency before adhesives or levelling products are applied. Levelling compounds, on the other hand, are used to smooth out uneven surfaces and create a flat base for flooring. In many cases, both are used together to ensure the best possible installation.
