Dining room flooring — Cairneyhill
Dining rooms are the room most likely to expose a bad flooring spec — chair scraping, dropped cutlery, red wine, high heels. In Cairneyhill we mostly quote engineered oak or click LVT for dining rooms; both handle the abuse and both survive a spilled glass without a mark.
Sitting near Cairneyhill Primary, Cairneyhill dining room projects tend to be family-scale, medium-traffic, budget-aware.

Why this room, this way, in Cairneyhill
Dining room spec in Cairneyhill isn't the same brief as in a rental turnover flat or a busy retail unit — this page is about the residential dining room we fit week-in, week-out in KY12. The mixed-era housing here means screed prep on newer Avant estates is usually the first thing we flag on the survey; carpet upgrades in older village houses.
Our recommendation for most Cairneyhill dining room projects: engineered oak. It's the spec that hits the price/lifespan sweet-spot for this room and this housing type — but we bring samples of all three options on the survey so you can compare in your own light.
