Dining & Entertaining Solid Wood Flooring for regency townhouse The Pantiles Homes
In The Pantiles (TN2) formal dining rooms are usually in regency townhouse Victorian, Edwardian and Georgian reception rooms — high-ceilinged, decorative, with the floor visible edge-to-edge. Board width sits at 180–220mm; herringbone parquet is a strong alternative that matches the era.
Getting the table footprint right on a The Pantiles dining floor
In regency townhouse The Pantiles formal dining rooms with polished-brass chair feet on a lacquered board, we advise switching to felt or rubber caps — polished metal on hardwood dents any species, even oak.
The spill-tolerant finish for a The Pantiles dining room
Dining floors get wine, water and butter spills more often than any room except the kitchen. Matte hardwax oil is the The Pantiles dining room default — spills bead on the surface, wipe clean, and don't stain if attended within 20 minutes.
