Most engineered wood floors are compatible with some form of underfloor heating, but the tricky thing is that not all floors are compatible with every system. So the correct question should...

How to fit a Herringbone floor…
(Or what you need to know if you’re having one fitted…)
Instagram is great. We love it. The reason? Because through images and text you can answer the most important questions in flooring and they all start with a “Why”? Why should you have a Herringbone floor? Why should you pay for a professional...
We don’t do sales. But sometimes you can pick up a Kite Floor bargain.
At Kite, we believe one of the challenges with buying a floor is you never know if you’re getting a good deal and one of the main reason for this is that most retailers only sell floors through sales. They’ll be a Mothers Day Sale, Valentines Sale, Easter Bonanza, and any other name their marketing department can...

Beautiful and hard wearing. Premium Laminate is awesome. Don’t buy a cheap wood floor.
At Kite our mission is to find you the perfect floor and whilst we mainly sell wood floors, the reality is they aren’t right for every project. For a start, wood flooring done properly is expensive, especially over large areas and with uneven subfloors. Also, regardless of finish, wood flooring will always require some maintenance. If you...

Eco-Friendly Flooring: Four strategies to get to the truth about sustainable flooring options in your home.
Like any industry, the flooring industry faces sustainability challenges.
Almost every flooring manufacturer we know claims their floors are sustainable. We see a never-ending line-up of badges and accreditations, that rubber stamp environmental credentials, so it is no surprise that things get confusing.

Hardened wood flooring; Beautiful, sustainable and strong. The real wood alternative to engineered flooring.
“I really want a hardened wood floor,” said nobody. Ever. Why? Well, firstly, in the UK, it's a new flooring category. "Oh no, not another type of flooring", I hear you cry, but bear with us.

What’s underneath matters; the right underlay for your perfect floor.
We’ve talked about subfloors previously, and we’ve also talked about fitting strategies (glued or floated..). But what we haven’t flagged is, more often than not, there is a layer between your wood floor and subfloor. It’s the filling in your flooring sandwich, and as with sandwiches, what you choose makes a difference.
