I'm installing solid oak flooring in our living room. With the remaining flooring that's left over, I'm hoping to lay the remaining planks in the porch also, if possible.
Currently, I have quarry tiles in the porch, but they aren't in a great state. Having had plastering work done, the tiles had got covered in plaster drips and now can't be wiped/sanded away...despite much elbow grease
Has anyone got an opinion on whether this is a good idea or not? If I go ahead with putting the oak in the porch, I would need to put plywood down to get an even surface. Then, followed by the flooring which I'd be secret nailing down.
The porch is only small and is unheated. However, it is enclosed by the porch door and the front door. Also, the oak boards are t&g, 150mm wide, 19cm thick and is a brushed/oiled oak floor.
I'm worried about humidity and lack of heating, etc. Also, would it be better to just try and salvage the quarry tiles as an 'original feature'
of the house??
(and, if so, how would I do this??)
Any thoughts, help, comments appreciated.
