Apartment Engineered Wood Flooring — Beaulieu Park, CM1
Flat Engineered Wood Flooring in Beaulieu Park is 60% acoustics, 40% aesthetics. Get the acoustic build-up right and the floor never comes up on a lease renewal or sale. Get it wrong and the freeholder has grounds to require replacement — a rare but real outcome we've seen twice this year.
Why we float on Beaulieu Park flat installs
On Beaulieu Park flats over a habitable room we float every floor — never glue directly to the subfloor. Glued floors transmit impact sound as a rigid drum; floated floors over acoustic underlay attenuate it. This is a rule we don't break in CM1 apartments.

Apartments & Flats in Beaulieu Park — questions
- Can I glue-down a floor in my Beaulieu Park first-floor flat?
- No — over a habitable room below, always floated over acoustic underlay. Glue-down transmits impact sound directly through the structure and fails most Beaulieu Park lease clauses.
- How long does a Beaulieu Park flat floor fit take?
- 3–5 working days for a typical Beaulieu Park 60–80m² apartment, including acoustic underlay layer-up, board fit, perimeter detail and paperwork.
- Does the Beaulieu Park building need to be notified?
- Yes, in most Beaulieu Park leasehold buildings — 14 days' written notice to the managing agent. We provide the template letter as part of every Beaulieu Park flat quote.
- What acoustic rating do I need for a Beaulieu Park apartment floor?
- Standard Beaulieu Park lease minimum is IIC 55 or 60, with STC 55 airborne. Our default build-up tests at IIC 66/STC 58 — comfortably above both.
- Can we do this floor with a neighbour below still in residence in Beaulieu Park?
- Yes — floated installation is quiet during fit (no drilling into the deck). Neighbour-below courtesy notice is standard courtesy on Beaulieu Park apartment jobs; we handle the paperwork.
- Can you fit around a fitted Beaulieu Park apartment kitchen?
- Yes — we scribe boards to the kitchen plinth line and finish with matched beading. Only jobs where the kitchen is being replaced anyway get full floor-under-cabinets install.
