    Wood flooring suppliers??

    Thanks Woodyoulike. I have floor boards down so no need for the ply. I'm looking to pay around £20-£25 per msq for an oak endineered board that has a wax/oil finish. Do you have something like that in your range? I'll have a better look tonight, but it is a mine field out there. Thanks Huw
