Upfront and honest was a comment from a recent client who had the majority of their flooring installed by Gainsborough Flooring.

Sam Ames who owns and manages a couple of local businesses in Lancashire had undertaken a major refurbishment project to his new home with a large two-storey and side extension.
After initially considering engineered tongue and groove boarding and being let down by a specialist joiner, Sam visited the impressive Gainsborough showroom in the heart of Preston and commented, “Whilst I was in the showroom I spotted a pattern from the Amtico Spacia Collection wood effect flooring range which was a combination of three different types of oak board, which I was extremely taken with.”
Sam continued, “Just to make things more complicated, I decided to add a fourth board to the collection! Eddy Brown, Contracts Manager at Gainsborough Flooring talked through all the pros and cons of doing this and I was extremely grateful for his advice, and incredibly pleased at how spectacular the flooring actually turned out. Not only that, it saved a considerable amount of money compared to engineered board.”
The installation ran extremely smoothly much to Sam’s delight, “Rick, the fitter spent a considerable amount of time asking me how I wanted the flooring to look, where I would like the patterns, etc. He was very keen for the flooring to be perfect for me which was very refreshing compared to some of the tradesmen that had worked in my house.”
Many family and friends have been stunned at the beauty of the flooring and just how tremendous it looks, though many have thought it was real wood until Sam has told them otherwise!
One of the major benefits of Amtico compared to engineered board, which Sam learnt from the Gainsborough team is that if a board is scratched, it can simply be lifted out and a new one glued into its place.
There is no sanding and resealing required as there is with wood, therefore causing minimal disruption. Sam has been delighted with the Gainsborough team’s knowledge, skill and most importantly their honesty. Having now lived in his new home for around seven months Sam is overjoyed with his choice of Amtico flooring, especially as it is much more dog friendly than wood. The cost of the flooring worked out at around £100 per square metre including VAT & fitting, which included the stairs which are generally more expensive to fit due to the intricacy involved.
