Hi,

The flooring is a 220mm wide board French Oak "Mink" engineered board.

It is 15mm thick with a 4mm top layer of oak and plywood based. Great for use where the floor is subject to a lot of light (heat) thus it is more stable in its movement.

Avalaible in Melbourne from Eco Timbers.

Cheers Steve.

Thanks very much Steve. About to build the 20yr family home and very much indecided about flooring. We love the wooden floorboards, but with young boys and dogs we feel they will just turn into a headache - even with the engineered boards. Thinking about the wooden look-a-like tiles but not sold on them yet either. Would you reco these boards given the above scenario ?

No matter what flooring you choose, it will still require regular cleaning from sand, pebbles, dirt, etc, but I do get your point. We have polished concrete floors throughout and our very long drive is topped with graduated sizes of stone, with the large area immediately in front of and surrounding the entrance having the smallest stones. They are always tracked into the house; the removal of shoes is not always a worthwhile option, which is why we chose concrete for its durability and easy maintenance. Sand would probably irritate me more, but I think that comes with the territory. From the bit you have described, Annie, your house sounds like it will be spectacular and in an enviable location. Cheers!

If you want to continue with the wood look maybe something like a parquetry, this way it's a pattern defining the area but still blending with the floorboards

Can anyone tell me what type of floor this is?

There’s no nail holes so it’s a floating floor of some type. Impossible to tell if it’s engineered wood or bamboo or vinyl. Take the picture to your local flooring shop and they’ll be able to show you something similar.

In a installation sense. 900mm x 900mm tiles are big. The floor may not be flat after removing existing flooring and will need extra work to get perfect. A 600mm x 600mm tile rectified edge, is used more commonly.

The colour of the engineered board is not full depth so it will be prone to scratches.

Another option is to go for a wide 180mm secret nailed and glued board: say a vic ash and apply a stain to get the desired colour. It will be more robust but will still scratch with dog claws. The advantage is that you can sand a few times and re-stain.

Look a like tiles are about $100m2 plus laying so can be expensive.

Hope that helps.
