Merpuah Hardwood Flooring - has anyone heard of this species?
Comments (2)I've never touched the stuff. I tried doing a quick search and found limited info. it says its Janka is at 1290 which is basically the same as Red oak (1260) The stuff is more than likely expensive, compared to Red Oak and probably closer to the price of Braz Cherry. With that being the case, the color does look neat, but for the Price, I would shy away and find something else that can be similar in color and a better hardness rating....See MoreAnyone has an experience with Artisan hardwood floor?
Comments (5)OK....so here's what I have deduced after reading the website: the website was written by a someone who's first language is NOT English. I've seen this before. I've WORKED for people with this attribute before. The website has worked with someone who is proficient with English but not a native speaker. The terms used give it away. Traditionally we do say "Finish" not "12 UV Coatings" as stated on this page: http://artisanhardwood.com/beautifully-engineered-hardwood/ A native English speaker would use "12 coats of..." and not 12 coatings. I've seen this before because I've worked for people who use language in this way. That is a MASSIVE GIVE AWAY that the people who manufacturer this product are from elsewhere. And head office is on the West Coast. Guess which MASSIVE foreign export country is closest to the west coast. This is a guess, because there is a suspicious lack of information on the website....I would take a stab in the dark that the manufacturer is in China. Again this is an educated guess. But the signs are there. And just for fun, they have only TWO Official Retail Partners - both in Texas. http://artisanhardwood.com/engineered-warranty/ The warranty is VOID if you purchase on-line or from anyone else! Again, that's an interesting flag. There are many manufacturers who HAVE the same warranty restrictions....and there are many, many, many more who do NOT. And just to be clear....the Johnston floor has a BETTER finish! It has 11 layers of Aluminum oxide (all 11 layers contain AO). The Artisan comes with only TWO (2) coats of AO and there rest are traditional polyurethane. That is a VASTLY different system... I'm going with Johnson on this one. My spidy senses are tingling....See MoreAnyone has laid new hardwood floor over the old ones?
Comments (2)Only the completely uninformed would do that. It creates tons of problems....See MoreHas anyone used Mannington Timber Plus engineered hardwood flooring?
Comments (2)I too am looking at that same flooring and was simply wondering if anyone had used it recently...I would not be inquiring on this format (just as paristerri is doing) if I wasnt willing to take a strangers consideration into account. I would not use someone's honest feedback as a sole derterminate, but since it is a relatively new product, I think it is more than appropriate to ask questions in the forum. Thank you in advance for all responses....See Morepennami
