Choosing flooring for extensions

21st July 2015

At last the plans are drawn up and everything has been approved for that long awaited extension.

Now comes the hard work. What kitchen do I choose? What colours to go on the walls? What kind of finishes do I go for? When it comes to flooring for extensions we have the right products for your lifestyle, needs and budget. With any kind of building work, there are so many factors to take into consideration. Many of our customers have had extensions to their homes and walls knocked through to achieve the open plan living that so many of us desire today, leading them to look for flooring for extensions in particular. If you are one of these lucky people then you know how much thought and love has gone into achieving the perfect look for your open plan home. One of the most important choices to make is what flooring should be installed. This is also an expensive decision to make. A floor is like a blank canvas but what colour or finish you choose has to match and compliment all your other fixtures and fittings. At First Floors we have the experience and knowledge to help you with this decision. We realise that it can take time and many visits to our show-room before the result is achieved. We can also judge the best floor for your budget and also your lifestyle, for example whether you have pets, children and high footfall. One of the great things here at First Floors is that all our samples are BIG. This makes it so much easier to imagine what the finished result will look like on a grander scale. We will visit your home and measure up, bringing these samples with us, and when you see them in your home it is so much easier to come to a decision. With a lot of open plan living many customers want their floor to sweep through the house giving a feeling of space and uniform. This is why it is so important to get the colour and tone right! As we have said, here at First Floors we will help guide you through this process and you can take as much time as is required to make the correct and most appropriate flooring decision for your home. We totally understand that choosing the right floor can be quite stressful especially when you are dealing with a new build or having an extension done. At First Floors we will be more than happy to help you with all your flooring needs especially if you are choosing flooring for extensions.

Fantastic service. David gave me great advice on which flooring would be most suitable for my business premises. Within the week Steven came to fit the flooring and, as promised, was in and out in a day. Can’t recommend this local Company enough. Anna Smylie ZuZu Giffnock.

We recently purchased engineered oak flooring and carpets from First Floors. The customer service from David and team was exceptional. We had just moved home from overseas and bought a house with no floors so we did not have access to allow First Floors to measure. Theye allowed us to use our own measurements as we wanted the floors laid ASAP once we had the keys. The floor is beautiful and laid very professionally (thanks Steven). The carpets are also lovely and exactly what I wanted. The only thing I would change about the experience would be to have First Floors assess the house in advance. We have fire doors which were a problem the day the carpets were laid. This was not the issue of First Floors and it was resolved quickly. Thanks again David, we would highly recommend First Floors to anyone.

Another Great Job Done!!
Just had our third floor project in seven years completed by First Floors once again.
Great service from David and his showroom team from assisting in the selection of materials through to arranging the installation. Chris and his team worked tidily and efficiently on the hardwood flooring with great attention to detail. Gordon who fitted the stair carpet was very professional in his work and was able to resolve some problematic details to our entire satisfaction.
Would definitely recommend First Floors.
