    how did you find the factory cuts? done a couple of white oaks recently and they butted up pretty good considering the colour.

    Yep, product was good, I just thought it was a sick colour.
    Started on a site in Cambridge this week, which was also Spacia, and that looked really good. Another million pound town house. How do they get the money for these places ?
    The day they hand over, the new owners are waiting outside with there stuff. All sold off plan before the mucks off site !

    agree the colour is awful! give it a month and they will be thinking why did we get white, the lightest colour id ever recommend would be sun bleached oak in spacia, and for my money if you want a white floor you get the big porcelain tiles installed instead
