Wood Flooring

Post by t.smeaton »

Hi,

Does anybody know where you can buy standard old style tounge and groove floor boards ?

Alternatively are there any unfinished machined wooden boards that are only the same thickness as laminate i.e. about 8mm, as we intend fixing over the existing floor boards and painting white.

These might sound like bizzare comments, but you haven't met my wife :lol:

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers
Thomas

You can get T&G floorboards at any builders or timber merchants!
