Bonkan...realize this thread/post is over a year old but wondering if you installed the Greenworld product. I'm considering them now but can't find many reviews or actual people who have experience with it in their house. Thanks.

Same here.

I have used Greenworld engineered wood floors in my last 3 remodeled homes. I used three different products and they were all gorgeous. I am just about to install the Artisan Tadema in my new home. The Artisan line is my favorite. It has a UV surface so it is matte and does not show scratches or dirt/dust like a polished wood floor.

Hi Savvy Go, I am considering installing the Artisan floor in my house. I know you mentioned previous great experiences with them. But, I was specifically interested in hearing about how the oiled Artisan is holding up. Would love to hear anyone else's experience as well. Thanks!

I really love my floor! It is gorgeous and I get so many compliments. I use this to clean it: http://www.wocadirect.com/natural-soap/ . I have used the Kahala Sand in my flip homes that has the 9 layers of PPG UV-cured urethane finish, but I prefer the oil finish in my own home. It has a warmth and organic feel to it.

Very helpful info. Thank you, Savvy Go.

My floor came out great also. I will post a picture

SOOOOO beautiful, Bonnie! Is this the Artisan Tadema? Is the oil finished floor?

I just looked yours up on their website. The pictures they show of the Tadema are MUCH lighter than yours!!! That's why I wasn't interested in this color. But yours look LOTS darker which I love. Were you surprised to find how dark yours were compared to the pictures (sample) they show online when it was installed?

no this is from the impressionist line called renoir. looks just like the picture on line.

I copied the text from their website below:

Impressionist Collection

Renoir Handscraped

Acacia 5"

Our handscraped hardwoods have a delicate balance of handscraping and light distressing done by the hands of master craftsmen. Each floor is truly a work of art that will give your home a warm and inviting feel. Handscraped hardwood flooring is ideal for high traffic households and businesses, as it helps mask normal wear and tear over time.

OK. Thanks for the clarification.

My floor came out great but then started splintering, people were actually getting slivers. I had to file a claim but have yet to get a response. Most companies are great about replacing and looking at issues, this has been a struggle.

@Sokol Home...the first thing you will do is look at your indoor humidity. It MUST sit in the range stated on the installation/warranty documents (usually somewhere between 35% and 65%....but 35% RH is usually too low for happy engineered hardwood). While you are waiting for the RH levels to come up properly (takes a day or two to get accurate room readings), you can look up the thickness of the wear layer. Anything less than 3mm can have issues with stability. When the wear layer is really thin (like 2mm) the wood can have issues with splintering. And the company will try everything to say it has to do with 'household climate' which means RH readings.

Find the installation/warranty documents and compare the RH levels in the house to those requirements. That's how you can determine if your claim will be successful or not.

I have experience with this product. I absolutely love it. Put it in my downstairs (tile in bathrooms) in 2014. I have just had my first plumbing leak fiasco. Under the slab, and with home warranty diagnoses and approvals of estimates before they would fix, it sat with the leak under this glued to the slab installation for at least a week and a half before water stopped pouring over the flooring. The pantry would have standing water in 30 minutes that we had to wet vac out, or lay towels down and change out if longer. This was for a week and a half till we could stop the flow. The wood slats got some saturation nearest the leak, but as for buckling, there wasn't much. The edges between boards swelled slightly. The wood felt very spongy to walk on, so I could tell where the glue was wet and where it was dry (felt like walking on concrete).

I'm now drying it out with a water restoration company, and it could just seal back down and be fine. That marine grade plywood seems to really do the trick. Still waiting to see after dryout but it is amazing compared to other friends who had a much shorter flooding of their floors and the buckling photos I've seen from them.

P.S. that's a cat toy on the top photo bottom left - not damage to the wood.

Here is original install - this is Impressionist style, Cezanne color (natural). I pulled the darker wood for the bedroom and the lighter ones for the living areas.

@HU-722319119 - Do you have any more photos of your floors? We're considering using Cezanne in our new house. But I can't find many large scale photos of it! Thanks in advance!

Nicole I took a couple of Picts. Mind you the restoration is pending so stuff is stored all over till the affected areas are repaired.

The top two are lighter wood because I pulled the darkest pieces for the bedroom I the next picture. You can see we missed one in pic 2. There is a high variance in the tones. I think that’s why I’ll be able to replace pieces from water damage.

And last above is the water damage after a few weeks drying out.

Living dining and family were all lighter wood and master bedroom is the darker. So matbe 1/4 were darker walnut or cherry type darkness. The rest is more golden with a few pieces being extremely blond as in the first picture. Very little waste. We lost one board to wrong cut out of 1,000 square feet. Rest was all useable. They saved the ends from cuts to use again so it was very economical.

Last picture is in daylight

Thank you so much!!! They’re gorgeou!

I absolutely love them. There is almost a grayish cast to them - not real warm yellow gold as a true gold. But since the grays are in right now, I think it would help blend in with a wider range of wall colors.

Does anyone have any experience with Artisan line? Or pictures? I'm thinking of Artisan in Lascaux color.
