I ordered 26 cartons of Robbins Austin Plank engineered flooring from Lowes and so far I was able to use 4 cartons out of the first 6 I opened. 4 cartons were perfect in finish, edges, and overall appearance, but the other 2 cartons have warped pieces, bubbles in finish, gouges, rough edges, splits, bows, etc. I think those were meant to be put in cabin grade cartons. I hope I can exchange them for 2 new cartons...we'll see. I hate dealing with special order products, but it's the only way to get the color I want. It took 7 weeks to get them in at the store. I have 20 more cartons to inspect before I install them. When I look at the Bruce flooring that Lowes has in stock, the milling looks great. My Robbins Austin Plank looks like the cuts were made with old saw blades...no attention to detail. Each plank has to be tapped in to make them fit.

if you can find it, perhaps check at Home Depot, Bruce (same parent as Hartco) makes a urethane touch up kit. YOu might want to try it as its supposed to help hide scratches and is compatible with your finish. Go online to armstrong.com and see if they still list it. I metntioned to you that down the road you can get the floor recoated maybe with a matte finish which may help

I think you can have solid...just work with a narrower plank. The cut is also important. Some cuts are much more stable than others. Rift sawn lumber is more dimensionally stable (and more expensive) than other cuts. I would personally look for a narrow plank (more stable + cheaper installation costs) in a Rift Sawn presentation (most dimensionally stable + more expensive). I would guess you would end up spending about the same amount this way. Yet you get a more stable wood with fewer problems in a home without the added stability of humidity control. Of course you can move to engineered to avoid SOME of these concerns...but even engineered has limits re: humidity control (or lack there of).

Se went to the website asked for translation to English from what appears to be latin and got one weird translation. This appears to be a very new company and I would keep looking .You could try just phoning them directly since there is a contact number. Bella Legno just means beautiful wood. That link you posted does not work just google bella legno floors use first link that pops up
