Dining room flooring — Crombie
Dining rooms are the room most likely to expose a bad flooring spec — chair scraping, dropped cutlery, red wine, high heels. In Crombie we mostly quote engineered oak or click LVT for dining rooms; both handle the abuse and both survive a spilled glass without a mark.
In Crombie's rural cottage stock, the usual dining room watch-out is damp ground floors in older cottages.
A Crombie dining room in engineered oak (12–18m²) is typically £520–£1,050 fitted including quality underlay.

Why this room, this way, in Crombie
Dining room spec in Crombie 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 rural cottage housing here means damp ground floors in older cottages is usually the first thing we flag on the survey; wide expanses needing book-matched plank.
Our recommendation for most Crombie 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.

LOCAL PROOF
Engineered oak is by far our most-fitted dining room spec — usually a 2–4mm oak wear layer over an 11–14mm plywood core.
