Dining Room Solid Wood Flooring — Hutton Mount, CM13
Around Brentwood we fit a lot of dining-room-only refurbs on modern extension homes — one room, done properly, under an existing table setup. Room-by-room fits keep the rest of the house usable and the project scope contained.
The spill-tolerant finish for a Hutton Mount dining room
Dining floors get wine, water and butter spills more often than any room except the kitchen. Matte hardwax oil is the Hutton Mount dining room default — spills bead on the surface, wipe clean, and don't stain if attended within 20 minutes.
