Dining room flooring — West Wemyss

Why this room, this way, in West Wemyss
Dining room spec in West Wemyss 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 KY1. The coastal cottage housing here means conservation rules on visible flooring is usually the first thing we flag on the survey; salt-air drying solid wood.
Our recommendation for most West Wemyss 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.
