@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.

DO NOT BUY Aguaguard Water Resistent Engineered flooring. We bought $6,800 worth of AguaGuard Hyde Water Resistant Engineered Bamboo flooring from Floor & Decor, and hate the product, but we’re stuck with it. They say they will give a full refund if you’re not happy with it – if the boxes are unopened. But they instructed us to open the ends of all the boxes to acclimatize it, so they won’t take it back. What’s wrong with it? 1. It is easily scratched. We had half a room installed and scratches were already visible. They were not rough on it in any way as they worked. The warranty says that it “Will not wear through the finish under normal household traffic conditions (scratches or reduction in gloss level is not considered wear). So they have covered themselves on this issue. 2. We had 2 pallets of flooring, and each one was a different color. When we contacted the manufacturer and sent pictures, they said the color varies and this is to be expected. Variations in wood colors is understood, but I would expect each box to contain various shades rather than whole pallets (bought together at the same time) being different from each other. Half a room was finished and the next box used didn’t match the rest of the room. Our contractor opened a claim with Floor & Décor and went back and forth with them for two weeks until they finally agreed to take back the boxes that hadn’t been installed and give us a full refund. So the guys loaded 130 thirty-pound boxes up and took it back to Floor & Décor, where they were told that no, they couldn’t be returned because they were all opened. Again, they were opened as per their instructions to climatize them. So they brought 130 thirty-pound boxes back to us. Now, we’re unable to return it so we have no choice but to install an entire house worth of mismatched flooring that will be all scratched up in no time.

How are you liking the elandura so far? I’m trying to see if anyone has had the same problem with the floor that I am currently having. I had it installed throughout my entire house a little over a year ago. The salesman really sold me on the pvc free aspect. There were no reviews that I could find as I believe it was a new product at the time. However, if I could go back in time, I would have never installed these floors. The product (well what I received) is defective. I am waiting on response from customer service. Let me know if you have had any issues.

We haven't installed it, but have a sample of their Ivory Palace hardwood here and am weighing the pros and cons of it vs. a few other contenders. We like it alot but it only has a 1.5mm wear layer, so not re-sandable. It looks like Twelve Oaks is made in Canada and is used alot on HGTV-Property Bros. and some others. Hopefully someone else that's already installed will chime in...
