@ TONYA FOSTER Kentwood is a good brand that we show at both our showrooms. The look and feel of their products is quite trendy and attractive. I wish wear layer of their engineered floors could be thicker and 2 mm. Sample boards matching actual floor order has been a challenge to floor dealers in the past couple of years. This is why you heard DuChateau sent approval box their dealer/home owner before shipping the actual floor order in the previous part of this discussion. Could you post a picture of sample board and picture of your floor received?

Du Chateau is the worst! My floors were damaged even before we moved in. All the nosing had a softer finish on it. They have to WORST customer service and do not stand by their product. When I called customer service, they actually told me I should have picked a different wood. They offered no remedy except "check your warranty". Unbelievable!

When it comes to Saltbox collection - the style called Berkshire - we are waiting on our flooring company to come back to our home because one plank is literally warping. This is a brand new install that happen 4 months ago. We regret not going with solid wood - and in fact- when we went shopping we were told that the technology with this flooring was extremely advanced. We have nothing but problems. Please do your research and know your budget- if you can afford solid wood- I would strongly recommend it otherwise make sure to get the tinted wax crayons they have available to fill in every little scratch and dent- because the flooring is terrible. PS they do not have tinted wax filler for all of their floors either - like the Berkshire - which is the style we purchased.......so make sure to ask upfront. Again- I do NOT recommend this product at all.

Mercier and Mirage are 2 high quality brands from Canada. They both have many choices of 4mm Engineered wood floors. It will not be easy to find solid hardwood options if you like wider boards than 5".
