Grey washed floors are a relatively recent kid on the wood flooring block. White washed floors have been around for decades, black floors became ‘all the rage’ not so very long ago and grey washed floors are a great way to find some middle ground.
If you’re re-flooring a room in your home or you’re flooring an entire new build you’ll quite rightly be keen to make the best decisions when it comes to your flooring. It may be that you’re tempted to go with a ‘high fashion’ look or you might feel as if you have to play it safe and go for a classic. But to be honest, you don’t have to do either if that’s not what you want. A great compromise between having a stunning look today that might be out of date in a couple of years time and choosing a classic wood floor that doesn’t tick your boxes is something you can avoid by choosing the right grey washed floor.
Grey washed floor really is great; all round the home
Grey washed floor comes in both solid wood and engineered wood options. What this means is that you can choose this flooring option for any or every room in the home, as well as for installation over under floor heating.
While solid wood floor was always thought of as ‘real’ wood flooring; more and more people are seeing the amazing benefits of choosing engineered wood flooring. With a clever construction of layers and layers of ply that are bonded together to create an extremely strong and stable core board, engineered wood flooring is topped off with a layer of solid wood that makes it look just like solid wood.
The main advantage of engineered wood flooring over solid is that it doesn’t expand and contract nearly as much, which means it can be fitted in rooms that are likely to suffer from temperature and moisture fluctuations without fear of it becoming damaged. The same is true over under floor heating which could potentially play havoc with solid wood flooring.
A whole range of options
When it comes to choosing the right grey washed wood floor for your project, it really is a case of deciding on whether your project would be best suited to a solid wood floor or engineered solution; the budget you have to invest and the final look you want to achieve.
