Hardwood floor vs. engineered hardwood?
Comments (27)Choosing the right flooring type isn't enough for your living condition. You will have to consider the types of cut: flat sawn, rift and quarter sawn, quarter sawn or live sawn. Quarter sawn and rift & quarter sawn will be best choices, because expansion and contraction is along the thickness of the wood. You will need climate control all year round. 70 degrees at 40 % relative humidity is where you want to be throughout the year. The use of a humidifier/dehumidifier will be needed year round. Although, engineered flooring is more stable than solid. Using the wrong wood specie in your living condition can run the risk of de-laminating with engineered wood. If, the top veneer is more or less stable than it's core and backing. You will experience de-laminating in extreme humidity swings. Take in account of what the engineered flooring is constructed of: mdf or plywood. The width of the flooring will account for how much expansion and contracting also. 2 1/4" strips are the most stable. As you go wider, expect to see more wider seasonal gaps. Proper acclimating is critical, should be performed with a moisture meter. For 2 1/4" strip flooring , sub-floor and flooring moisture should be within 4%. For all other widths 2% moisture differentiation is allowed or should not be exceeded. Don't forget proper expansion gaps, which is the thickness of your flooring, example: 3/4" thick = 3/4" gap. Sub-floor type and condition will affect the performance of wood floors. All this needs to be considered for the proper and successful performance of your wood floors....See MoreHas anyone ever removed glued down Hardwood? Any advice
Comments (14)Wow that is a "bubble-gum in a long haired cat's fur" type of mess! Yikes. The quietwalk was supposed to be the vapour barrier. Ok...it happens. Someone tried to double up on the moisture resistance. In theory a moisture resistant adhesive should have been enough....but someone decided to double down and glue down the QuietWalk and then glue the wood to the QuietWalk. The issue is the quiet walk is not strong enough to 'stay together' when you pry up the wood. This is a mess a hardened professional would cringe to take on. A DIYer is going to struggle mightily. G&S offers great advice. The beer being the MOST important part ;-)...See MoreHas anyone used Karastan BelleLuxe Engineered Hardwood?

Comments (0)I have found this flooring that I love but can't find any pics of it in houses. Beckham Brothers is a Canadian company and maybe this one is fairly new? Please let me know if you have seen it installed and what you think. I have attached a bunch of pictures because it looks so different in different places in my house....See MoreAmy Henry
