French Oak Flooring Installation - Day 1
Our French oak flooring officially began its life as a feature in our living room and kitchen today. And I unexpectantly got my hands dirty helping the builder lay the first few lines of timber. Above is a picture of French oak wideboard planks installed in a Wahroonga residence.
This is our living room with the planks lined up ready to be laid along the builders line (the pink string). It is crucial to get the first line of planks exactly right - straight and level.
