Common pitfalls we plan around
Cheap 10/2mm boards
Anything under a 3mm wear-layer can't be re-sanded. We won't quote it.
Floating over UFH
Floating creates air gaps that hurt UFH efficiency by 10–15%. Glue down, every time.
Skipping acoustic underlay
Apartment leases almost always require 18dB acoustic underlay. We bake that into the quote, not as an extra.
Materials & finish notes
For modern kitchen extensions like much of Hutton Mount's Hutton South pocket, we'd usually spec Smoked engineered oak in a brushed & uv-oiled finish.
Our most-fitted spec is 14/3mm brushed & oiled oak in 190mm widths — balanced cost vs longevity.
Reactive stained boards are unique to each batch. We always order 10% extra for cuts and future repairs.

Hutton Mount engineered oak FAQs
- What's the warranty?
- 10-year workmanship from us, 25-year manufacturer on the boards. In writing.
- Is engineered cheaper than solid?
- Typically 15–25% cheaper on supply, often more on fit (faster install). UFH-ready, which solid isn't.
- Do you fit herringbone in engineered?
- Yes — 600×120mm or 700×140mm engineered blocks, glue-down with strict alignment. It's our most-requested premium spec.
- How wide can the planks go?
- Up to 260mm for engineered. Wide planks need glue-down and a flat subfloor (±3mm over 2m).
- Will it sound hollow if I float it?
- A bit — that's the trade-off for speed and removability. Glue-down sounds like real wood underfoot.
- Will it scratch if my dog runs across it?
- Brushed-oiled finishes hide micro-scratches; lacquered shows them. We recommend oiled for dog households.
- What wear layer should I look for?
- 3mm minimum to re-sand once. 5–6mm if you want a 25-year floor. Anything below 2mm we won't fit.
