A Bespoke Flooring Solution in SE5 Camberwell, London

Nestled in the heart of SE5 Camberwell, London, a lovely expecting couple eagerly anticipated the arrival of their little one. With nesting instincts in full swing, they were on the hunt for the perfect flooring solution that would not only be durable and sustainable but also exude a touch of elegance and style. Enter Marmoleum – a specialist flooring option that seamlessly combined beauty with function.

The Process

The first floor demanded precision and meticulousness. To provide a sturdy foundation, a 6mm flooring grade plyboard was meticulously cut and fitted. It was then secured firmly with coil nails. However, the task didn’t end there. To ensure an even and smooth surface, the joins were diligently covered with feather finish. A thorough sanding process followed, leaving behind a flawlessly smooth finish, setting the stage for the next crucial step.

To further enhance the flooring experience and ensure utmost comfort, Soundsense 4.5mm underlay was applied to all subfloor areas, both on the first and second floors. This underlay, adhered using the F44 adhesive, promised a sonic cushioning effect, making every step on the floor feel soft and soundless.

Marmoleum, known for its durability and striking appearance, was the chosen floor covering. Given the intricate nature of the house’s layout, templating was essential in some areas to ensure an accurate fit. Once templated, the Marmoleum flooring was diligently cut and adhered to the subfloor with a strong adhesive.

The Marmoleum Choice

The couple opted for a mix of shades to bring out a rich palette and complement their home’s aesthetics. They selected Forbo’s Walton series in two shades: Forbo Marmoleum Titanium (ref: 3369) for its sleek and modern feel, and Rosemary Green (ref: 3355) for a touch of organic warmth. Additionally, they introduced a deliciously named shade from Forbo’s Cocoa series: Salted Caramel (ref: 3529). This hue added depth and richness to the overall design, creating a harmonious blend of colors.

A Unique Neighborhood Distraction

Every project has its share of unique experiences, and this one was no exception. As our team worked diligently, they found out that the couple’s neighbour, a woman in her 50s, was a dedicated naturist. While this might have raised a few eyebrows and elicited some chuckles, our team remained unflinchingly professional. Their unwavering focus ensured that this unexpected neighbourhood sight didn’t distract them from delivering their best work.

Completion and Warranty

Post-installation, our team took great care in cleaning the site, ensuring the couple could immediately start enjoying their new floors without any post-construction hassles. The couple was also provided with an installation warranty of 6 months, extendable to 12 months upon review. This guarantee underlines our commitment to quality and our confidence in the workmanship delivered.

In Conclusion

The project in SE5 Camberwell stands as a testament to our dedication to providing bespoke flooring solutions tailored to individual needs. For this lovely couple expecting the newest addition to their family, their home is now adorned with a floor that’s not just about aesthetics, but also about creating lasting memories!
