looks like Tigerwood with a really bad peeling topcoat.

tigerwood is one of the woods that will change if exposed to sunlight.

the 4th pic is too blurry.

what is the one your hand?

what type of floor is this ?

Comments (14)
My business partner and I have installed and finished/refinished flooring in multiple houses. We have invested in the supplies and equipment to get good results and have made our share of mistakes along the way. I know how the work needs to be done and I do not have the physical skills to do a refinish myself. A natural athete, with excellent coordination and muscle control, could probably get the hang of it quickly but not me. I can't keep the machine at a consistent speed forward and backwards and drop/raise the drum at the right moment. I can do preparation, cleaning, hand sanding and scraping and cutting in, but not the actual sanding. If the floor is virtually dead already or in a very low standards rehab, I might try but otherwise it just isn't worth the risk. Clean the floor thoroughly and buy a nice room size rug. Choose paint colors to complement the existing flooring.

What type of cabinets are these and what type of flooring to go with?
Q
Comments (3)
clean the cabinets....the space looks as though nothing has been done over the years. When its time you'll have to do quite a bit ...probably a complete renovation. Save money and live with the floor and just use the space. I'd be concerned the appliances may cease to work any time so I'd be tuned in to a possibility they will need replacing and that is awkward . But this isnt the situation where i'd do small things one at a time. ...the result wont be satisfactory. Hopefully the older kitchen was factored into the price you paid for the dwelling.... look at it this way...you will end up with a great kitchen with everything to your taste/needs .

What type of floor would you suggest for a basement?
Q
Comments (1)
You will get more comments if you post some pictures. What is on the stairs? While the basement floor may be visible from the upstairs, where the stairs meet the basement floor is where you're really going to notice if the materials are different.

What type of flooring works with gray tile?
Q
Comments (2)
I think gray tile is such a neutral color that any color could work with it. Two materials have different texture and feel, they don't need to color match.

Most pics look like Mahogany to me, but definitely agree that the finish is toast.. Could be a Meranti/Sappele variation of Mahogany as well.

I’m not sure what it is. I assumed it’s laminate. However the clear coat peeling off has me wondering if it’s a engineered wood flooring? i noticed discoloring where my son’s computer chair is. I didn’t realize the clear coat was peeling off!

Please show the bottom of the plank. It does look like an Engineered product with a thin wear layer. May not be able to refinish. That top coat is finished though!

Engineered hardwood for sure. Laminate flooring has FIBRE board in the middle with a clearly visible "click" edge (lots of contouring). I'm not seeing that. I'm seeing a layer or "nice" wood, over top of a few layers "plied" wood. That normally indicates engineered hardwood.

And yes, the finish is toast and the floor is starting to splinter. You might be able to fix that single plank with the splinter, but the finish on top is definitely in trouble.

Engineered wood flooring, for sure. Has been a bit hard treated.

Oak & Broad, I think the fifth picture is of the back.

I think Beth H is right on this one. Picture 3 looks like Tigerwood but it's so small it could be giving the wrong impression. A picture of the overall floor would help.
