Question for Medium Brown Stained Hardwood Floor Owners
Comments (2)Clw, We have medium stained white oak hardwoods like in your second pic. Unfortunately we also have a white English Setter with long hair. Other than the hair, most debris is not noticeable on the floor. FYI: We also have heavy duty dirt rugs by every exterior door. ~bgj...See MoreCalifornia Classics Brand "Mediterranean" Engineered Hardwood Floors
Comments (62)Hello, I’m posting in hopes to help someone else like me who researches a ton. I agonized over choosing flooring for a year. I didnt want it overly knotty, too yellow too orage, too gray too dark. Was this so hard to ask? I swear I probaby had 30 samples come into my house, . I researched many and found it was hard to find reviews and photos. We finally decided on Tri West California Classics Mediterranean Colection in the color vittoria. I liked tripoli but my husband thought it was too light. I had found some photos of vottoria on instagram and it seemed to be well made. We jusy had it installed todsy and im thrilled with how it looks. Will be posting photos soon....See MoreMedium brown hardwood stain with oil based poly?
Comments (12)Oil poly = orange. Not even yellow but ORANGE. If you are confident you will NOT be upset by orange floors (regardless of colour underneath) then go for the oil. Your 'pro' is trying to sell you on oil based because it is CHEAPER and EASIER to purchase/work with. Both help HIM/HER rather than you. So...now the question: have you seen the stain patches WITH THE FINISH on top? Always always always view the stain patches with a coat of the finish over top. Always. If not, you are picking blind. We have HUNDREDS of threads on houzz, "Help! I hate my floors! Why are they orange?" Happens on a DAILY basis. And remember: oil based poly = STINKS FOR 30 DAYS! Yah. As in migraines and nose bleeds type of smell. As someone who has migraines AND asthma I can tell you it is a B!TCH to be around newly finished oil poly floors. If you compare the costs of the Bona System (can be triple the material costs) to staying in a hotel/motel for another 3 weeks, you will find the Bona is a better (financial) choice. I personally like to see stain + 3 coats of Bona Traffic HD. It is DEATHLY important to state in the CONTRACT (yep...please write one): Floors to be Finished with 3 Coats of Bona Traffic HD (the HD is SUPER IMPORTANT). Do not let the 'guy' switch out Bona Traffic HD for Bona Mega. Bona is the company...Traffic HD is the LINE! You want the BIG BOY being used and you want 3 coats for 20+ years of worry free floors. Anyone who tries to sell you on oil based poly being tougher than water based is NOT trained to use the big boys. They are the guys who purchase their products from Home Depot and then claim it isn't as good as oil based. That's the level you are working with if they 'sell' the oil based....See MoreLooking to match Bona medium brown with prefinished hardwood
