Renovating a family home is a deeply personal journey, especially when you’re looking for a finish that will last a lifetime. This was exactly the case for Mr. Aslami, a local resident who came to us with a clear vision for his Tooting flooring project: he wanted his ground floor to feel cohesive, warm, and undeniably high-end.
After several visits to our showroom—where he spent time feeling the textures and seeing the wood in different lights—he found “the one.”
“I didn’t just want a floor that looked good in a brochure,” Mr. Aslami explained during one of our consultations. “With a busy household and plans for this to be our forever home, I needed something that felt solid and looked timeless. The Coffee Oak just had that richness we were looking for.”
The Perfect Choice for this Tooting Flooring Project
Mr. Aslami ultimately selected our Bespoke Select Coffee Engineered Wood Flooring for his new Tooting flooring. Being a Prime Grade floor, it showcases the cleanest, most refined parts of the oak, offering a sophisticated look across his kitchen, hallway, and reception rooms.
Why “Stick-Down” Was the Only Way to Go
One of the biggest decisions for any Tooting flooring renovation is the installation method. While “floating” floors are a popular quick-fix, we sat down with Mr. Aslami to discuss why a stick-down installation was the superior choice for a project of this calibre.
“We talked a lot about the ‘feel’ of the house,” says our lead consultant. “For a premium product like the Select Coffee range, you don’t want any hollow sounds or slight movements. You want it to feel like it’s part of the architecture.”
The benefits for Mr. Aslami’s home were clear:
- Acoustic Perfection: No “click-clack” sound—just the solid thud of quality wood.
- Total Stability: Essential for the large, open-plan areas of the property to prevent shifting.
- The “Premium” Factor: A firm, permanent feel underfoot that elevates the entire Tooting flooring renovation.
Expert Craftsmanship and Technical Precision
A beautiful floor is only as good as what lies beneath it. Since the property had a concrete base, our technical team worked closely with Mr. Aslami’s builders to provide a foolproof preparation roadmap for this Tooting flooring installation.
To ensure a lifetime-guaranteed finish, we utilised a two-coat liquid damp-proof membrane (DPM) to lock out moisture, followed by Monosil P Flexible Wood Flooring Adhesive to secure the 190mm wide planks.
The Result: A Unified Family Space in SW17
The transformation of this SW17 residence is a perfect example of how the right wood can unify different rooms. The deep coffee tones now flow seamlessly from the modern, high-spec kitchen into the more traditional reception areas, tying the whole ground floor together beautifully with premium Tooting flooring.
Mr. Aslami was thrilled with the final handover:
“The difference is in the details,” Mr. Aslami told us after the final plank was laid. “The advice on the subfloor prep and the stick-down method was invaluable. It doesn’t just look like a new floor; it feels like it’s always been here.”
