heating and full height glass at one end. The owners wanted wide oak boards that would cope with both the heating and the sun.<\/p>\n<p>The ground floor covers about 70 square metres.<\/p>\n<h2>What we did<\/h2>\n<p>The barn has underfloor heating and a lot of glass, so we chose an engineered oak rated for heated floors and acclimatised the boards on site for a week before laying.<\/p>\n<p>Before laying, we checked the screed moisture and ran the heating to the manufacturer's schedule. The boards were glued to the screed, which suits a heated floor better than a floating one.<\/p>\n<p>We cut the boards around four original timber posts and finished with a hard-wax oil that the owners can spot-repair themselves.<\/p>\n<p>The skirting was made from offcuts of the same oak, so the edge detail matches the boards.<\/p>\n<h2>The result<\/h2>\n<p>The floor runs in one direction through the whole room without a single threshold. After a winter of heating the boards are flat and the joints are tight.<\/p>\n<p>We left spare boards and a tin of the same oil in the barn store for future repairs.<\/p><\/div><div
