GoodHome Granna Natural Pine Solid wood flooring, 0.96m² Pack

I’m quite disappointed now I’ve laid it , there is no shine or lustre to it at all. I’m not sure if it easy to varnish without rubbing it down which I don’t fancy doing , thoughts please .

I bought 26 meters of this over bought to allow for some bowing when it came only managed to lay half the floor the rest was to bad to go down then they couldn’t get me any more for three weeks in the end I had to take up what was already laid and buy another product which t

Don't waste your time. Awful stuff. Opened 3 boxes (12 boards) and 5 boards unusable. All returned

Purchased flooring before Christmas and removed packaging . Mixed the bundles separately to avoid shading . Two weeks later I laid the first row over standard plastic wood underlay ,packing the edge with cork . Cramped gently to the centre of the room and screwed the centre strips with self coloured plugs . The floor is laid on existing badly marked pine floorboards . Continued to the opposite edge of the room and packed again 10mm cork strips . If there is any future movement , the centre strips will be unscrewed and the flooring adjusted . Absolutely great floor with the usual defects of pine , as in any natural products . The only slight disappointment is the dark pine colour , as the floor abuts a natural pine floor , bought many years ago from BandQ!

It's pine, so not the hardest wearing, but it's 20mm thick, solid planks with tongue and groove edges, so could be sanded down and re-finished endlessly.

It was only £25/sq m, so fantastic value, and we're very happy with the result! Only disappointment was we had to wait for several weeks to take delivery.

The tongue and groove planks fit together as you'd expect, and on a concrete floor - provided it's perfectly level and smooth - was fairly easy to install on cork underlay, without needing to be attached to the concrete in any way.

Occasionally in my B&Q packs I got a plank that wasn't completely straight. The slightest warp makes them unusable, without leaving big gaps that then get worse with each new row subsequently added. So quality in the manufacture seems to be important, but the small number of fails was acceptable in a natural product. Testing fit without gluing is wise, to avoid being committed to a dodgy one.

I like the knotty nature of these planks. The really expensive stuff has perfectly straight grain, but to my mind they're just too perfect and look rather like laminate to my eye.

Anyway... very happy with the result and would recommend! We've celebrated by buying a second hand, retro 70s chair and a rug to go with it!
