I fell in love with European Oak and Blonde White Oak engineered hardwoord floors but that doesn’t fit in our budget. Does any one have recommdations for vynil planks that resemble that light/blonde oak look?

LVP next to hardwoods

anglophilia - The reason I'm replacing the bedroom floors is because of allergies, so waiting is problematic. We also have pets and I don't want the extra care they'd cause with hardwood in the bedrooms. dgw - My budget won't let me finish the hardwoods in the den and install the LVP at the same time (I've got to have some of the planks and subflooring replaced so it's not just sanding and finishing). I expect there to be about a year in between projects. I'm searching for something that looks just like a standard oak flooring so I can match them as much as possible. This is a pretty good representation of what I want: smit - there is a door between the den and the hallway but it's open pretty much all the time. acm - I didn't have time to take a picture of the existing floor and what I like so far. So here's the (revised) question: If I pull back on my plan to LVP the hall and foyer and just do the two bedrooms, might that work better? The look would be similar to the current look at the den door where the hardwood parquet and the hardwood plank meet. I'd still search for a color/stain that goes together like the den and the hall floor currently do. I've also been told that you shouldn't re-sand a parquet floor because the heat softens the glue and pieces can come up. Has anyone else heard that? Thanks guys!

Checking, I will get back to you, Whatever flooring you get it may be worthwhile to purchase a box to lay it out and see the color little bit more difficult with a small samples I originally had a different color pIcked and when it delivered they stated that the colors have been darker so they brought a few boxes in and we declined chose another color that we had Purchased a box and when came they were quite a bit more red tone then got these and love love love them These are also a pretty thick engineered floor which would enable you to have more refinishing if you needed

Flooret LVP in Arbor, Brenwick or Kingswood? OR CorTEC Harrison Oak

Comments (740)
@greenhearted Z5a IL Thank you! It is a tough decision!! I like the floor a lot, but it’s not infallible! I don’t particularly like the grooves, if Flooret had a non-groove option I would have chosen that! Contrary to what people say, stuff does get caught and accumulate in the grooves!! The dark color does show stuff. I don’t know what to say about that. I just didn’t like kingswood, but I would have preferred a slightly more medium brown over brenwick. Other shades were too gray or too light for me. Overall I am quite happy with it. I like the large planks a lot. Workers coming in have been impressed with it...even thinking it’s real sometimes and wanting to know the brand. Truthfully, I’ve had to take care of my dad the last few years in another state and I haven’t been there living in it with day to day use. Only been there once in while for a few days. Kinda crazy. That’s why I disappeared off this thread for a while. So it’s a little bit hard for me to give a thorough review, but I hope this helps...Good luck!!

Scouting for a realistic wood plank floor tile. Any recommendations?
Q
Comments (16)
Paul, the chevron wood floors are hardly trendy. They're historical. they date back centuries ago in France . however, I can see you think they're overdone. but the ones they're tearing out were probably done badly! were they done w/large stubby tiles? I agree, those do look 'trendy'. I guess i like more of the classic design. The chevron on those porcelain tiles I posted aren't too bad. they have more of a modern/classic look to them. However, a lot of the wood-look tiles are far more trendy than a chevron design. As for the square tile, Don't know why Miami pops up ! most modern floors go w/that size. but I suppose these are readily used in florida. that should tell you how good they are for the beach! I was thinking of something like this for yours. simple to clean and works w/everything. this is a 12x24 size in a slate, but it still looks great. as for the parquet design, just depends on what else is going on in the room. I happen to think this cool looking for a upper end rental. you could even use your wood-loo tile for something like this. or maybe the hex tile but they do make a decent laminate too.

Can you give us a quick rundown on the differences between SPC, WPC, and ESPC? Thanks! @Unique Wood Floors

Sure, I will do my best. Correct me if someone don't agree.

WPC came to floor market first as rigidcore luxury vinyl plank. It is lighter in weight and constructed with a softer and more comfortable core material, claiming waterproof, kid-proof and dog-proof. Its sales boomed. SPC is a newer version LVP with stone powder core, heavy and less labor intensive to produce. Most importantly it is cheaper in price, so it quickly dominates the market. ESPC has 2 layers of vinyl sheets sandwiching SPC core. it becomes more comfortable to stand on with deeper embossed wood grains and more realistic wood look. Of course, the cost goes up as well. There are a few other minor differences between WPC and SPC, like SPC handles bigger temperature swing and needs less expansion space. If your project is for normal residential use, those can be ignored in your decision making. They should all function well.

Good luck searching for that perfect floor!

A gentle reminder: Order a box if you 80 to 90 % decide on a floor, that is the only way to get a true idea what you floor looks like. The floor designs are getting wider and wider, it is hard to get a full picture from a sample board.
