๐ŸคฉHappy customer

We are really pleased to share this review from Marc and Mahdieh, whose floors we featured in the previous post. We hope they love their floor for years to come.

"We had a great experience with the team and are very happy with our new flooring. They gave us really helpful advice and were very patient while we took our time to consider and choose the right option. Everything was completed on time and exactly as we expected. Professional, reliable and friendly service. Highly recommended!"

That's exactly what one Cambridge customer was working with, and it was time for a change. They wanted something that looked warmer and more like wood, but without giving up the practicality a kitchen floor needs.

We took up the old carpet, got the subfloor properly prepared, and fitted Croft Oak LVT from Wildfox. The result: a kitchen that looks like oak, cleans like LVT, and finally suits the way the room is actually used.

Read the full case study to see how it came together, and why what's underneath a new floor matters just as much as the colour on top.

A one-star review made us look harder at something beyond the flooring.

Were we explaining ourselves clearly enough?

During a flooring assessment, there can be good reasons why a quotation can't be confirmed immediately.

The condition of the subfloor, moisture levels, existing finishes and the preparation required can all raise questions that need checking before the right way forward is clear.

We understood why those checks mattered.

But this review made us realise that understanding something ourselves isn't enough.

If a customer leaves the conversation unsure why we're raising a concern, what needs to happen next or whether we're actually trying to help, then the technical explanation hasn't done its job.

That stayed with us.

It prompted us to look more closely at how we explain technical concerns and how we make the next steps clearer when a flooring project isn't quite as straightforward as it first appears.

We've written about what happened, what we learned and why clear communication matters just as much as technical knowledge when you're making decisions about your home.

Mahdieh and Marc didn't stop at beautiful Oak stairs.

They continued the transformation across the whole of the downstairs AND across the landing and two bedrooms. It created a lovely cohesive look through out the home.

This is a high quality Panaget French Oak floor that really is fit for kings, and will stand the test of time.

You don't need to know which flooring you want before talking to us.

โ€œI need something that works for a busy familyโ€ is actually a useful place to begin.

Tell us about the hallway everyone charges through.

The kitchen where chairs are constantly moving.

The dog.

The children.

The spills.

The open-plan room that's expected to do almost everything.

Those details help us understand what you're asking the floor to do.

From there, we can narrow the options and talk through appearance, everyday wear, comfort, cleaning and realistic maintenance.

If you're planning new flooring for your Cambridge home, you don't have to solve the whole decision before you visit.

Bring us the room. Bring us the questions. We'll help you work through the options.

Un beau parquet, รงa commence bien avant la pose. ๐ŸŒณ

Chez Panaget, tout part du bois. On reรงoit le chรชne, puis vient l'รฉtape du sรฉchage.

D'abord un prรฉ-sรฉchage de plusieurs mois, suivi d'une pรฉriode de stabilisation avant mรชme de scier le bois. Vient ensuite le sรฉchage prรจs d'un mois, puis une nouvelle periode de stabilisation.

Prรจs de cinq mois pour qu'une simple planche devienne un bois stable, rรฉsistant, prรชt ร  durer. Ce temps-lร , on le prend et c'est lui qui fait toute la qualitรฉ d'un parquet.

Rรฉsultat : un parquet faรงonnรฉ du dรฉbut ร  la fin dans nos ateliers, du chรชne brut ร  la lame finie, par nos รฉquipes et notre savoir-faire.

A beautiful parquet floor starts long before installation. ๐ŸŒณ

At Panaget, everything begins with the wood. We receive the oak, and then the drying process begins.

First, a pre-drying period lasting several months, followed by a stabilization phase before the wood is even sawn. Then comes nearly a month of kiln drying, followed by another stabilization period.

Almost five months are needed for a simple plank to become stable, durable wood, ready to last. This time is essential โ€” and it is what makes all the difference in the quality of a parquet floor.

The result: a parquet floor crafted from start to finish in our workshops, from raw oak to the finished plank, by our teams and through our expertise.

There's something special about helping a family make a new house feel like home.

Mahdieh and Marc visited our showroom back in March, looking for the perfect floor for their new family home in the heart of Cambridge. After exploring the options, they fell in love with a beautiful French oak floor from Panaget in the Topaz finish. We suspect it helped that Marc is from France! ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ˜Š

The project covered the entire downstairs, before continuing up the stairs, across the landing and into two further bedrooms, creating a seamless flow throughout the home.

In this post let's focus on the stairs.

Timber staircases aren't a project every flooring company will take on. They demand time, patience and a high level of craftsmanship, so we're incredibly fortunate to have fitters whose attention to detail makes results like this possible.

The finished floor has completely transformed the home, bringing warmth, character and elegance to every space. We hope Mahdieh and Marc enjoy it for many years to come.

The second project can say even more than the first.

For Sharon and her family, this time it was their lounge.

They returned to Art of Flooring for engineered hardwood flooring in a large living space, and their feedback afterwards touched on something we care about throughout a project: how the experience feels from beginning to end.

Sharon highlighted the communication from the first showroom visit through to the quotation and installation. She also noticed the details during fitting.

John worked carefully around the existing skirting and the more intricate areas of the room, while keeping the space tidy and the project on schedule.

Those details might sit behind the finished floor, but they can make a real difference when work is happening in someone's home.

We're very grateful that Sharon chose to work with us again, and for taking the time to share her experience.

๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸคฉCelebrating 10!๐Ÿคฉ๐ŸŽ‰

Another project completed for one of our favourite returning customers. ๐Ÿ˜Š

We first met Hazel back in 2021 when she lived in Cambridge. Since then, she has moved to the beautiful seaside town of Aldeburgh, but we're delighted that she continues to trust Art of Flooring with her flooring projects.

In fact, this is our 10th project for Hazel. We couldn't ask for a better compliment than a customer choosing us again and again. Thank you, Hazel. Your continued trust means so much to our team.

For this latest project, Hazel wanted to give her living room a fresh, contemporary feel. After looking through a range of samples, she chose Amtico Spacia luxury vinyl tile in Snow, and we think it has transformed the space into a bright, elegant room that's ready to be enjoyed for years to come.

It's customers like Hazel who remind us why we love what we do. โค๏ธ

The busiest floor in your home might be the one you think about least.

Take the hallway.

On a normal Cambridge weekday, it might deal with school shoes, work bags, muddy trainers, the dog coming back from a wet walk and everyone passing through the same few metres of floor.

Then thereโ€™s the kitchen. Chairs moving. Crumbs. Spills. Constant cleaning.

And in an open-plan family room, the same floor might need to work for breakfast in the morning, homework in the afternoon and friends round at the weekend.

That everyday use should influence what you choose.

Think about how much wear the room gets, how often you want to clean it, the comfort you expect underfoot and the maintenance you're realistically prepared to do.

A beautiful sample is a good starting point.

But the better question is: how will this floor fit the life happening around it?
