Comments (21)Sprice, I just love your floors so much! I found the post where you first showed them off and I got to see more of your floors and home. I love your beautiful home. I wish more of the floor was showing. Thank you for sharing. I hope some others will share their exotic wood floors that are wide plank or even just 3.25" plank since I am trying to make up my mind now if the approximately $700.00 extra is worth paying for the wider and longer boards. The BR-111 Triangulo is 1/2" thick when it is 5" wide versus 3/8th" thick when it is 3.25" wide. Both have a nice wear layer on top that can be sanded 2 to 3 times with a 24 year warranty. Do the darker boards really stand out with the wider boards. One of my friends in Canada who I called tonight loves both widths but prefers widths no narrower than 3.25" and likes widths even up to 7" wide feeling more of the grain shows and the floor is less busy. My other friend who I called likes the 3.25" traditional look. I guess I will have to make my own decision but I hope I get to see some more pictures before ordering the floor. I wish I had some samples boards that were at least a foot long of the 5" wide planks. I only have the foot long sample boards of the 3.25" wide planks that someone on this forum mailed to me and I paid her for the postage. Is the 3.25" wide floor still in style and popular despite wider planks being very trendy right now?...See MoreCan I get my alum. oxide Brazilian Cherry Floors refinished?
Comments (5)Your floors can possibly be recoated, and if it works, it's has advantages over resanding. A six year old floor shouldn't need resanding. I've had decent results prepping and recoating AO floors but I limit my work to floors I installed. Using the wrong maintenance products can hinder the adhesion of a new coat, even when you follow the proper preparation steps. What has the floor been maintained with? Your statement that it shows every speck of dust and footprints, makes me wary. Maybe you're exaggerating a bit, or perhaps the floor was coated with something that is causing that issue. Do you have any original unused flooring? If so, how does the gloss level compare to your floor? I looked up their Brazilian Cherry and only see it offered in a matte finish but the product may have changed since yours was purchased....See Moreforgotten
