Hey beardsarebeautiful, which did you go with? Can you share a pic? I am debating right and think we will go with Canterbury Elm but would love an install photo to be sure. thx

We just installed Canterbury Elm and we love it. I realize these photos might be too late but could help others searching this thread in the future.

Hi Natalie! We are looking at Canterbury Elm and would LOVE to see more pictures. Do you happen to have some in natural light as well? Thank you so much!

Hi I know this post is really old but we are going to install Canterbury elm. We have 2 kids and a large white lab pup. Does this color hide crumbs, dirt etc well?

I think it hides dirt, etc exceptionally well. I know people who installed other lines from Coretec and they complain about the footprints/smudges but I never see these on my floor. We dont have a lot of natural light flooding in so it may be different if you do. IMO the texture & color hide things very well.

Here are a few photos in my sunroom with natural light.

Hi Natalie,

Thank you for providing these awesome photos. We're planning on ordering the same floors for our new build. I was curious to know if you thought the canterbury elm flooring looks lighter or darker in person? Your feedback would be very helpful. Thanks!

This is so helpful thanks. We have both warm colors and agreeable gray walls so I think that work

One last question- does anyone use a Roomba on their Canterbury Elm floors? I keep getting different answers……We have the Roomba i4. Thanks!

SJ, funny you mention agreeable gray walls because we selected those too. Hoping the floors blend well with the that wall color.

This will be our first LVP purchase so not sure how Roombas stand up against LVP. Hoping very well

Oh that is funny! I will send pictures. The thing that made it difficult for us is that we have a warm almost cherry color cabinet in our kitchen and a warm color granite. Those both really threw us off when trying to figure out the floor color. I love the agreeable gray though.
I hope the Canterbury Elm floors aren’t too dark, our floors are very dark now and I want to go a lot lighter

Sunny, i think the flooring color was what we expected from our samples. I think the photos are a pretty good representation except I feel like the variation in color is more accentuated in photos. In real life it isn’t so striped looking if that makes sense.

Sj, we use a roomba on our floors and havent had any problems. It’s been about 10 months so not a real long time but I can‘t imagine a roomba causing any damage to it. I think the color goes well with any warm colors including a warm gray.

Thanks so much! I appreciate your feedback. We have our order in and I still think they are beautiful and I feel good about it I just had a moment where I worried they were too dark. We have cherry floors now which as you can see show everything because they above a sheen to them and are extremely dark. The main reason we are getting new floors is to go lighter.

I think youll be hahappy with it!

Natalie Hazen, Canterbury Elm has a yellow tone in my house. Does it in yours? if not, what tone do you see?

HU-258209120, It definitely has a warmer tone and I guess it could be a little yellow. it worked well for me because I had oak trim to work around. Have you looked at Bastion Elm? I think it has the same look/same wood knots but it has a slightly different color.

Thanks!

Natalie Hazen - I ordered a box of Bastion Elm as I think its closer to my paint and furniture color but i like both.

Thanks for those photos @Natalie Hazen - I have this flooring sitting on storage for our modular - partner loved it, I wasn't sure on a big scale - this is the closest to how I remember the larger sample.

Also grabbed an agreeable gray sample - I was leaning toward BM Edgecombe gray but not 100% sure.

I am also considering Bastion Elm. any comments or photos?

I don’t have pictures but irdered a box and decided to go with Bastian Elm.

I was worried it would look too "stripey" or multitonal, does it read more grey or wood colored?- did you buy online? website?

In the box were 2-3 dark boards which gives it a bit of that look. Here are a few pictures someone sent me. In natural lighting it looks a little more gray toned but under lighting you see more of the browns in it. i had my installer order me a box.

Not sure what you mean by looking gray or like wood. It looks like wood to me with gray and brown tones. Does that help?

Thank you! Looks good! Are you doing the whole house same floor (we are)? Could I ask where you are buying the product and the price per square foot?

I am doing the whole house. A flooring store is doing the ordering, tear-up and installation. i am paying 5.89/sq. ft. i could probably get it lower but then i would have to go with independent installer snd their total price with installation was higher than i am paying.

Are you doing click or glue-down?

Click. I'm in Bay Area and it seems the cost of installation is way higher than the product cost. ugh. I love the color, was just concerned there was too much variation between planks, and it might look too "stripey". It probably seems more striped appearing in photos.

Is that Bastion Elm with the green island? We are thinking of doing this in our whole house and wanted to see what it looks like in real world.
