Anyone ever used Robina hardwood flooring?
Comments (1)sophierex, did you end up going with Robina? We are also looking at their Teak engineer flooring....See MoreAnyone heard of Horizon Floors? (Portofino collection, Terrazzo)
Comments (2)I believe these are the same floors we have in our lake house, although our color is tuscan. We had them installed about 4-5 months ago. They are beautiful floors. However, we did not realize they have an oil finish and will require to have the oil reapplied about every 6 months. Think about whether you want to pay to have this done or be down on your hands and knees rubbing oil into your floors that often! Also, presumably because of the finish, they seem very difficult to maintain and absorb everything from dust (from the remodel) to the slight water drip when loading/unloading the dishwasher. We wish we had done more research before selecting these floors and would not get them again. I wish I could give a more positive review because they are beautiful, just not very user friendly!...See MoreForest Valley hardwood flooring: ever heard of it?
Comments (14)This is a 10mm (possibly 9.5mm) thick solid hardwood. That is 0.38 inches thick. Yikes. That's pretty thin. You might get ONE sand and refinish out of it. This is in the same category as Lumber Liquidator stuff. I found the Armstrong look-a-like: 3/4" solid hard wood out of Hickory (not red oak like the other product). The edges are different and the finish are different. Probably two different manufacturers. For $1.79/sf you get what you pay for. That's a VERY low solid or engineered hardwood floor or a medium/high-end laminate (right thickness for laminate). Not much in that thickness is that cheap. Makes you wonder. Good luck....See MoreHas anyone ever used Genesis Hardwood Flooring products?
Comments (0)I am interested in Genesis Hardwood Rare Earth floors mainly for their eco-friendliness and price point. Has anyone ever used this brand? Any experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!...See Morebarbj_actionnet_net
