has anyone put down oiled wood floors?
Comments (137)Tung-oiled pine flooring update. It's been a year since my last post in this thread, and a year and a half from the floor install, so I thought I would post an update. Some backstory: These pine wide-boards were sawn at a local mill, kiln dried and I think indoors for abt a year before we got it. The boards sat in our house for 6 months before actual install. During that time, I sanded each board and applied and buffed in 4 coats of Hope's Pure Tung Oil. They were installed on our second floor, all bedrooms. Once installed, I buffed in one more coat of tung oil. Today. I am very pleased with how the tung-oil is protecting the floor, and how the floor is holding up. Not seeing much gap between boards, and any accidental spills are not leaving any stains, but I do get to them fairly fast. For clean up, we vacuum and when needed, use damp rag and elbow grease for any scuffs, or marks (dog paws), etc. I occasionally buff out scratches with tung oil (we have a dog and 11yo boy). Since the floor has gone thru one dry winter, this summer I plan buff in another coat of tung oil for more durability. Because it is pine, we do not allow shoe traffic on the second floor or food, but that rule was same when the flooring was carpeted. I love this floor! The patina is becoming quite lovely, it has been really easy to keep. I expect the floor to age gracefully and develop more character as the years go on. I do not regret going the all-natural route with using only the tung oil....See Morehas anyone uncovered an existing wood floor under a wood floor?
Comments (2)Could be almost anything. If you're going replace the thin slat florring anyway, then have at it and remove the stuff; you will then reveal what you have beneath it and be able to decide if it is worth restoring. I have done many restorations and there was only one floor that was DOA. Sounds as if your house has had lots of "remuddling" over the years; it's amazing what a DIYer with poor vision can do to nice architecture....See MoreIs Hanover Hills Hardwoods produced by Mohawk?
Comments (1)I worked for Mohawk and they do buy all their flooring from outside mills. Most companies operate that way. Shaw doesn't own any lumbber mills. Private label is the norm in flooring so Cpt one has a different name from HD, Lowes, Flooring America etc etc. Mohawk carpets can be branded under many different names. Its not ususual at all but it does makes 'shopping' much more difficult. Carpet one does offer some unique warranties that other stores don't so there are advantages to buying from them though I doubt they will be the 'cheapest.'...See MoreHas anyone had Hill Country Innovations Pro Tech WPC installed?
