Dining room flooring — Duloch
Dining rooms are the room most likely to expose a bad flooring spec — chair scraping, dropped cutlery, red wine, high heels. In Duloch 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 Duloch's modern new-build stock, the usual dining room watch-out is UFH compatibility for hard floors.
A Duloch dining room in engineered oak (12–18m²) is typically £520–£1,050 fitted including quality underlay.

Why this room, this way, in Duloch
Dining room spec in Duloch 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 modern new-build housing here means UFH compatibility for hard floors is usually the first thing we flag on the survey; scratch resistance on engineered oak in busy hallways.
Our recommendation for most Duloch 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.
