Terra Legno Engineered Wood Flooring- Anyone know anything about?
Comments (3)Hi Trisha57 thank you for replying and caring. Solid wood flooring would not work in my home since I live on the preserved wetlands in a townhouse with concrete floors and no basement. To install a plywood subfloor in order to install solid wood floors would raise my floor way higher than my 3/8th thick Porcelain Ceramic Tile and also be a problem with doors in the other room. I also plan to do tile in the kitchen and really would like my wood floors to be around the height of my kitchen floors and my two foyer area floors. My client today showed me that the BR-111 might be thinner at 3/8th thick with the 3 MM wood on top but it fits together so much better and is tighter fit. The Coswick Rift & Quarter Sawn White Oak (with the 4 MM real wood on top) fits together the best and is so nice also. I just wanted to know if anyone heard of this flooring and if they had, what comments they had about it. The 3 MM real wood on top & the 4 MM real wood on top can be refinished also and sanded if need be....See MoreHardwood floor and Engineered wood floor by Pergo
Comments (6)If I am not mistaken there is article about Pergo floor here, stated that "they buckled or get scratch after 1 week installation" -so I am really concerned. The Pergo price is amazing and affordable but other brands such as Applachian ($8-10) or Armstrong ($5) are quite expensive. I do understand you pay what you get, just wondering should I be worried with Pergo?...See MoreChoose between these 3 engineered wood floors
Comments (28)Thanks all for your comments and replies, everything has been super helpful. In case anyone was wondering, I finalized the floor choice today, and ended up upgrading. Based on the responses here and others, I wanted to go for a matte, light color floor to hide scratches and dog fur better. The free option I had was only hickory and the light color was especially noisy, which I didn't think would blend well with our other selections. So the choice to upgrade was ultimately based on design aesthetic, and I believe the option I took is of better overall quality than the builder default. The floor is Kentwood Brushed Oak Sandstone https://kentwoodfloors.com/us/products/brushed-oak-sandstone-0, and will look something like this (this is a simulation image from kentwood site) I don't plan on sanding the floor... I will just replace it if I ever need to...See MoreFlooring decision - Laminate or Engineered Wood Floor?
Comments (12)Ok...so engineered hardwood is an option because this is "ground level" and not below grade. If you do not want to heavily invest in the home's flooring (and after a big renovation you feel the pinch at every turn...I get that), then an excellent water resistant laminate (I hardly need to add "out of Europe"...) will give you an amazing floor for 15-20 years without much effort. Work with something out of Switzerland or Germany and you will be ASTOUNDED by the toughness and the handsomeness of the product. Quick....do it be Brexit! While all the tariffs are still "Zero"! I like water proof/water resistant laminates because you are in IRELAND...it rains there from time to time. Sometimes water comes in on your Wellies...and that just isn't good for regular laminate or wood. As water resistant as you can please. It will pay itself back 10 fold by the time you finish your second winter with your flooring....See Morelive_wire_oak
