leftontheinside We got our First Crush installed a few weeks ago, and there are saw marks. Some of our samples made them look very busy, and others didn't have them at all. We went through a local flooring store. The saw marks are definitely there, but not noticeable when looking at the floor as a whole (I looked at a lot of pictures because the saw marks were almost a deal breaker). We love the floors. They are beautiful! HU-751872317 We got a custom taupe stain made that coordinates well with the floor. If you still need something, I can get the formula.

Another thing to consider when looking at the engineered floors is plank length. I just realized why I didn't like some of the photos I saw ... they had too many short pieces which gives the floor a choppy look and to me, it looks too much like a tile effect. The Uptown Floors suggested above sound great, and I will look at them more closely, but they still have "shorter" board (12" to 8 ft). I am looking at another company with board lengths from 3 ft to 12 ft. Those longer boards make a big difference in the overall look in a larger open floor plan. The longer boards do cost more, so I need to do some more comparisons and value of spending more for a more pleasing look. Their other specs are mostly similar. I think floors are going to be my hardest decision!

Generally speaking, LVP is a real victim of supply chain issues. I think it's pretty much across all brands. I ordered Coretec last March or April which was supposed to be here in early June. It kept getting pushed back, late June, July , and then finally in August we did get it and I am thrilled. I am just sharing that the availability is a real issue and people in a time crunch should be aware. It will come through but it may be delayed (and this seems to be all brands pretty much). I think for Coretec there are some that they have in more plentiful supply and they have indicated that on their Facebook page.
