Does anyone have pictures of their Mohawk laminate?
Comments (7)They should have larger sample sizes, so that you can at least put them by a large counter sample, large cabinet door sample, etc. If you can, take them around to different lighting in store or even outside in natural daylight. Careful carrying those quartz or granite samples around though, they are heavy suckers! The lighting in our design centre was pretty bad - made everything look very, very warm, so it was good to move around. LVP certainly is a good option if you are concerned about water. Laminate is okay with small amounts of water as long as you clean it up right away (leaks from dishwashers are another thing, etc), but I can understand with kids and dogs you can't guarantee this! If you go LVP do make sure you get a higher wear layer though with that kind of traffic and wear. 20 mil even at least (40 mil is the highest so far, I think, but it can go all the way down to 4 mil or something which will not last long at all). It is not terrible not to know what your style is, but it would be worth spending some time today and tonight with your partner looking for inspiration photos of what you are attracted to and what not, or even going to some parade homes tonight together (even if from other builders!). We had some general ideas of what we liked before we went in (and some "absolutely not's"), but nothing as specific as showing up with a photo in hand saying "we want THIS kitchen!". This came from looking at various parade homes, spec homes, browsing here, and elsewhere on the internet. For example, we knew we wanted white cabinets and a cleaner more minimalist look for our small kitchen, but wanted an overall "warm" feel to things, picking up from a Scandinavian influence of white combined with warmer wood tones. The interior designer was good at helping us narrow things down from our preferences. For our kitchen for example we ended up with a white cabinet as desired (Alabaster shakers), a warmer white/gray quartz that has brown flecks in it (Caesarstone Bianco Drift), white paint (SW Heron Plume), and a warm blond laminate flooring (Kraus Crossroads Journey) to bring in that warm wood element. I picked out some pendants with a third party lighting store that have a Scandinavian influence. I have yet to see it altogether, but I think ultimately we made good choices. The end result is not going to be what really what I think of as Scandinavian kitchen, but it has the elements we wanted in there and plan to add more of the warmer wood with furniture, cutting boards, etc. I also ended up with more gray than I expected (in counter and backsplash) but it was what appealed to me most in combination with other choices, like the cabinets and flooring. I find I need contrast! We will have complimentary tile in our entry/baths/laundry, and the treads on stairs as well as second floor will be carpet. I just can't seem to break away from the coziness of carpet in bedrooms and such (and I appreciate it in our climate too). You will have so many decisions to make tomorrow (like grout colour) so just take your time :)...See MoreMohawk RevWood Select
Comments (17)I have had the select floor for a couple months now. Select is pretty water resistant and scratch/impact proof for the most part. However if you have pets of any sort I would upgrade to the plus. My cat peed in the corner of the room and I had put some enzymatic liquid cleaner to rid it off the smell. After a couple hours the joints swelled up slightly. A dehumidifier is potentially helping it go back to normal but in general with pets (especially dogs) I would not recommend the select. For general purpose, as long as large spills are cleaned up within a reasonable time it should hold up well. It looks great for the most part, its not completely scratch proof but much better than hardwood floors. Impact proof is amazing. A contractor dropped a large tool from the 2nd floor and it didn't do anything to the board....See MoreMohawk Revwood Flooring
Comments (6)It changes color, depending on the lighting. With warmer lights, it looks more brown. I personally prefer the grey, so I intend to use cooler color temperature bulbs in the future. Here it looks browner in the closet with yellow light....See MoreMohawk RevWood Plus Laminate Briarwood Oak or Trinket Oak
Comments (0)Hello! We are torn on these two options, and would LOVE to see real photos if anyone has installed either of these. I think I found a few photos of Trinket Oak (I think, as it didn't say but came up when I searched RevWood) in the photo albums, but haven't see any besides the stock photo of Briarwood Oak, and we're wondering if it looks too blotchy/busy. Also, would you consider them warm/cool/neutral? We have medium brown town kitchen cabinets, black granite countertops, a gray/beige mixed kitchen flooring (we're not replacing that, but dining room butts up to the kitchen). We might paint our walls a white to freshen things up. The house is from the 1800s (though it hasn't necessarily retained its charm, though we wish it had). Thanks!! It's so difficult to choose flooring! We want something with character (but not too much), brown (but not too warm, no redness), can have a bit of gray to it or undertone (but not overall look gray), not a "patchwork" look once laid out or blotchy with the coloring, but also not too boring. lol!...See Moregbender33
