Reception Room Solid Wood Flooring for edwardian terrace Cassiobury Homes
A Cassiobury lounge is where Solid Wood Flooring earns its price. Wide-plank oak on a matte oil finish under raking morning sun does something no laminate or LVT ever will. We spec edwardian terrace living rooms around that light — boards run parallel to the primary window, feature grade always faces the sofa.
Reception room Solid Wood Flooring — the Cassiobury brief
For Cassiobury lounges we default to Solid European oak at 180–220mm width in a UV-lacquered finish. Wide enough to hero the grain, matte enough to hide furniture scuffs, and directionally set to the primary window.
How direction of run changes a Cassiobury living room
In edwardian terrace Cassiobury homes with bay windows the bay itself is the focal point — boards run away from the bay, into the room. This visually elongates the space and centres the eye on the fireplace or sofa wall.

Protecting a Cassiobury lounge floor from furniture wear
In edwardian terrace Cassiobury homes with fireplaces we always recommend a hearth-side finish check — hardwax oiled floors within 400mm of an open fire need a heat-resistant top-coat, quoted separately.
Living Room Flooring in Cassiobury — questions
- Which board width suits a Cassiobury living room?
- 180–220mm for open-plan or square reception rooms in Cassiobury; 160–180mm for bay-fronted or narrower rooms. Wider is not always better — proportionate to room width is what matters.
- What finish suits a family living room in Cassiobury?
- Matte hardwax oil is the family-lounge default in Cassiobury — hides scuffs, re-coats without a full sand, and warms visually. Reserve lacquer for lower-traffic or period restoration jobs.
- Do you move furniture on a Cassiobury living room fit?
- Yes — light furniture moves included on the day. Full-house moves and storage are quoted separately; typically £180–£380 for a fully-furnished Cassiobury lounge.
- How much for a lounge re-floor in Cassiobury?
- A typical Cassiobury lounge (20–30m²) in engineered oak fitted: £2,200–£4,800. In solid oak: £3,000–£6,200. In herringbone parquet: £2,800–£5,600. All including prep and finish.
- Can I fit a wood floor over concrete in a Cassiobury lounge?
- Yes — with a DPM (damp-proof membrane) and a moisture-tested reading below 4%. We measure on the survey before we quote in every Cassiobury project.
- How long is a Cassiobury living room fit typically?
- 3–4 working days for a 20–30m² lounge including subfloor prep, floor fit, scotia and clean. Add 48 hours for a full-cure hardwax oil before rugs and furniture.
