Fiddleback questions
What is the difference between smooth and rustic?
Smooth matte boards have a clean, even surface and a click profile. Rustic boards are brushed for more texture and character.
Can herringbone be floated?
No. Herringbone must be direct fixed to the subfloor.
Can it go in kitchens or bathrooms?
Timber floors suit all internal areas except wet areas such as bathrooms, WCs and laundries. In kitchens, wipe up spills promptly.
Does it work with underfloor heating?
No. Preference says it is not suitable over any type of underfloor heating.
