@Ericka EspeEspe wewe sorry for the extra words, the app is being strange. We ended up installing Provenza At Ease. We like it even though it is a little more knotty than expected. We brought home a bunch of samples some we liked during the day some at night. We didn't want gray, orange, yellow... just subtle natural shades.

Did you end up using the twelve oaks smoke house??? That's the same flooring we're looking to put down but it's impossible to find pictures of actual homes using it and what the quality is like after install. Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you! Hayes Oak was actually the first sample I got, but the texture of the sample piece looked and felt odd to me. I have gone to a store, looked at their samples, brought some home, and ordered others from the Coretec website. but when I see photos of actual installation, they all look so different from the sample! And the bigger problem is that my beach condo is 3 hours from home and currently uninhabitable - contractor has already demolished the old kitchen. So I can’t see how the samples look in the condo’s light and next to the adjacent carpeted living room. Is the bottom photo the Hayes Oak in your home? is the texture ”rough” - the sample i have is. Is Ivory Coast Oak the one in the middle pic, and Ventura chestnut the one on ”top?” Appreciate your help!
