• Extension in a Victorian terrace, which will include replacing the wood floor across the ground level of existing house to match... Currently it's a wibbly-wobbly wooden floor, not original. I'd like to put pine floorboards back in, just as the house would have had, even in the new part. But I'm being told that engineered wood would be a better choice. Thoughts?

  • Define "better"

    • easy to install
    • easily available
    • no nail heads in it and doesn't need sanding (if you're thinking about reclaimed pine)
    • maybe less draughty
    • maybe warmer

    VS

    • looks less original

    We of course spent a fortune on [the cheapest] exactly the right width and age reclaimed pine.
