We always advise if you run through a doorway in one and if problems occur, a profile can be fitted retrospectively, the flooring manufacturers will always spec a threshold but if installed correctly you probably won’t experience any issues

The floor needs expansion everywhere including at door thresholds, if you have an engineered with enough expansion you may get away with butting it to a threshold but no wood floor manufacturer will recommend that.

No one is 'piling on' all I see here is people trying to help you, but to be able to help you, we need some pretty comprehensive questions answered so we know what's going on with the installation. Firstly, Woodpecker Solid Wood floors are not suitable for floating installations, if you float a...

It's not ideal but if that's what you have to work with then that's what you have, perennial issue with multi length boards.

You are correct although Woodpecker is a well known quality wood floor manufacturer. There are no quality Solid Wood Floors that I know of that are suitable for a floating installation though. With regards to the differences between Solid and Engineered, again, advantages of old were...

This is an issue with the subfloor not being prepared correctly rather than an issue with Karndean's product. Unfortunately parquet blocks are not particularly stable, especially after 40+ years and the bitumen adhesive tends to break down given time, resulting in the issue you have. You can...

Click LVT and Engineered Wood will not cope well if there is moisture or any levelling issues with the hearth area, Laminate will afford some fexibility but, for the cost v. potential issues, painting a DPM over the hearth and levelling the areas appropriately would be worth every penny spent...

Whilst I appreciate you have a failed floor and it must be frustrating, I personally have 30 years experience in the flooring industry and daily come across issues with various hard floors installed by builders and handymen. Woodpecker do not state that ANY of their solid wood floors can be...

Firstly, you should never float a solid wood floor. Secondly, Sheet vinyl is cushion floor with a bounce to it, no wood flooring should be fitted on a bouncy underlay. And that's before potential mositure issues that may be present in the subfloor assuming it has'nt been tested (as there is...

what type of floating flooring are you fitting?

If you have floated a solid wood floor, that’s part of your problem, the fact you still have old vinyl down underneath sets off even more alarm bells regarding poor prep and the floor not being fitted to spec.

Option 4 should be ok. Avoid click LVT on any floor, it’s hopeless and very prone to joint breakage., if you get the floor flat, weight can still trap and cause joint breakage. Quality glue down LVT Like Karndean or Amtico will look very good, cheaper glue down LVT won’t have the same look...

Option 4 should be ok over a concrete base subfloor. What floating floor are you installing?

You should be able to bulk up the bags with granite chippings for more coverage. Check the specs on the bags/manufacturers website first.

You don't need a water membrane underlay over a wood substrate, these are designed for concrete substrates to protect the flooring you are laying. Best Underlay for laminate/engineered wood is Duralay Multitex, it's the wood substrate version of Duralay Timbermate XL.

Reality is, that fitting work will be priced not as a day rate but by the m2 being fitted. Same as the preparation materials, your looking at an area with a tolerance for the m2 and the depth. In all likelyhood, they'll use a bit more material than they expect and swallow that cost, if you...

I'm in Surrey and those prices are probably looking about right for quite a lot of prep with premium materials which let's face it, higher end product like Amtico Form requires/deserves.

Run the vinyl to the front of the step and fit it into a Staittods Premier Full Bull nosing?

Personally I would look at a quality Lamainate over Click LVT, far less likely to have issues created by level or weight of furniture which Click LVT is plagued with.

Either/Or
