hickory Harwood flooring -best brand?

4 years ago

We are having the hardest time picking a flooring. We want a brown floor, matte finish wire brushed or slight distressing to not show the scratches and we don’t like the oranges or yellow stains. We want brown. Just looked at the horrible Shaw reviews. Does anyone love their hickory floors? We are so stuck

I have Johnson hickory....engineered. It's fabulous!! I'm moving, and I'm hoping I can find the same thing for my new house. It's very durable, and held up well to our cat spewing on it. I found some vomit on it today underneath the bed, and I have no idea how long it's been under there. We only found it because we're packing up for the move. Anyway, it wiped right up, you can't tell it was there at all.

Don't do it! Just moved into a brand new spec home that has this flooring and it is horrible! We liked the look of it, but is scratches and splinters so easily. I am trying to work with builder to see what we can do to replace it.

I think it might be overwhelming, but would depend if she is planning on staining either of them. Some of the dark hickory stains I have seen completely eliminate the color variations. We have natural hickory floors and Cherry cabs in "sunset" very similar to the color of crazyhouse above, but the cherry has even less grain. Natural hickory is verrrry busy. Beautiful...but busy!

" I would definitely go with solid over engineered so that you could refinish it in the future if you wanted." Engineered wood floors CAN be refinished. https://maconhardwood.com/technical-expertise/maintenance-resources/how-many-times-can-you-sand-and-refinish-an-engineered-wood-floor/ Most wear layers on today’s engineered hardwood floors vary between .5 to 6mm. A thicker wear layer means your floor can be sanded and refinished more often, increasing the lifespan of the floor. Here are the general guidelines to keep in mind: .5 to 1mm wear layer: cannot be sanded and refinished; only recoated with a layer of urethane. 2mm wear layer: can be sanded and refinished 1 to 2 times. 3mm wear layer: can be sanded and refinished 2 to 3 times. 4 to 6 mm wear layer: can be sanded and refinished 3 to 6 times.

I finally found a color I really like, but it's a product that there isn't much information about. Grand pacific Flooring. 2mm 50 year warranty. I know it's made in China, but that's about it. I can't find anything I like < $6.50/sq foot range

Honestly we would pay what it takes. Just can find nothing that fits the bill. Found one and it got rejected when it arrived from China. Thank god we dodged that bullet. Found the Shaw flooring but there is a long thread on gear about splintering and the top layer peeling?! No thx!! I want a good quality floor and am willing to pay for it but this has to be once and done as we are doing our entire house and have to move out. Finding flooring is so stressful!
