Portofino Hardwood Flooring - Anyone ever heard of this?
Comments (10)A lot of large distributors have private label lines of their own produced overseas at a lower price point to offer a option to consumers at a price point lower than flooring from the Big 4 manufacturers. The large manufacturers have so much tied up in marketing their pricing is much higher but private label lines are often marketed only as an alternative to the brand names at a lower price point. I'd guess that is what you are looking at. The distributor most likely carries the warranty themselves. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, as many times the off-brand quality can be as good as the brand name products, you just have to make sure they stand behind it which is what you are doing. I'd ask the retail store what their experience has been in dealing with claims from product that comes from Golden State....See MoreHas anyone heard of Nuvelle Engineered flooring?
Comments (18)My experience with Nuvelle interlock hardwood flooring is NOTHING but dissappointing. Installed the floor 2 years ago as a floating floor and it has moved away from the walls leaving about on inch gap from two of the edges and wherever there were knots in the plank the wood has split... the interlocking mechanism is failing in many areas . The inspector said it was installation error but where they say was installation error we are not having problems! It’s the incredible shrinking floor going on 2 years now and still shrinking... $6000 Down the drain. Bought from Home Depot by sun crest supply and all have used the inaccurate floor inspector report which was written a month after he inspected the floor and called to ask me questions because he couldn’t remember the inspection ! I have copies of many customers who bought the same type of floor and are having the same issues I am but Home Depot and Suncrest supply took our money and ran... no resolution for us ... saving for a new floor in the future. Be wary of the interlocking floating floor! The design is not working in our house in Colorado!...See MoreHas anyone heard of Hanover Hills Wood Flooring?
Comments (6)Funny... I am doing the same thing now and coming up short on information on Hanover Hills. I believe they (the floors) are produced by Mohawk but marketed under a different name to all the different flooring stores....See MoreFlooring Help SPC vs Laminate Vs Engineered
Comments (11)SPC is not LVP. LVP can be brittle, especially the thinner click locking mechanisms. SPC is a solid vinyl product that should perform well and having sold it for roughly 2-3 years, am unaware of any consistent problems with them. As far as finish wear on vinyl, again some of the more cost effective products are likely only finished out with a few coats of polyurethane but many of the better quality materials are finished out with polyurethane PLUS either a ceramic-bead or aluminum oxide finish which make the finish more resistant to scratches. Newer vinyl products are being referred to as "RVP" which stands for Rigid Vinyl Plank and are also well-performing products. I do not think you'll have issues with furniture denting SPC or RVP-core products - LVP, yes if it's heavy enough. Laminates are also solid materials. They are similar to vinyl in that they are not real wood (rather they are digital prints - pictures of wood) but quality products will hold up to wear-and-tear nicely. They can scratch but not easily but most laminate products do not perform as well with respect to moisture. The core underneath a laminate is fiberboard which is essentially sawdust (wood) and a few other things - wood swells with moisture and most laminates will do the same. The newer water-resistant categories will perform better with respect to moisture however they are not waterproof so if they are exposed to moisture for a prolonged period of time some swelling will occur (though most say it is marginal). Engineered is "real" wood - it is not a digital print. Big win is you get more return on your investment come resell time as you can advertise real wood when you sell the home but they will likely scratch easier and wood does not hold up to moisture quiet as nicely. Let me know if I can help in any other way....See MoreRelated Professionals
