Has anyone installed a grey-brown engineered hardwood?
Comments (9)Engineered hardwood is still susceptible to damage due to moisture even though it doesn't expand and contract as much as a solid hardwood does. Being that the material is for a basement with a slab and an exterior door, we'd recommend a material like CORETec. It gives you the look of wood, comes in a variety of colors and plank sizes, and best of all; you don't have to worry about the material being damaged in one of those Michigan winters. For more info on flooring options in basements, check out this Blog : http://www.thecouturefloorcompany.com/basement-flooring.html There's also more info on CORETec here : http://www.thecouturefloorcompany.com/flooring-trends-of-2015.html The Couture Floor Company...See MoreHas anyone tried RockWood Hardwood for engineered flooring?
Comments (29)I just saw this, Itsoi. I left the mustard on there for 24 hours and then cleaned it off. It faded completely after a short time (maybe a couple of days, I can't remember). I never heard about conditioning it, that could be a good idea but we've been pretty harsh on ours for the past 3 months and it's holding up really well, so might do that after a year or if a specific room needs it before. I felt that the oil finish would be easier for me to do touch ups on if I needed to. Still have construction going on but we've been living here for the past 3 months. And we routinely throw balls and toys for our dog down the long runway of the living room/hall and I've yet to see her nails scratch up anything! It's been pretty impervious to our kids dripping water in the kitchen also. I don't know how it will look in 5/10 years but at the moment, I'm still really happy with our choice. It seems like a very low maintenance, easy to clean (doesn't show much dirt/dust!) floor. We paired the Rockwood Claystone with BM OC17 on our walls and like the color combo. If you're leaning towards buying it, just buy 1 box and pop it together somewhere you can look at it for a week or so. I think you'll get a pretty good idea then if you like it or not. And if you like it, you can reuse it, win win! Good luck!...See MoreCan anyone recommend an engineered flooring with greenish undertones?
Comments (2)On my monitor, the Wool Skein is showing yellow undertones with hints of gray/beige. The two counter tops *look like they read a bit more BLUE than green (the Istmo is hard to read because it has many deeper colours). The way to READ a floor colour is to put it on the FLOOR (away from the backsplash and counter top) and then step back 10 feet. Now view the samples. I would also paint a 3ft x 3ft artist's board with the Wool Skein. And then place the floor samples (on the floor) and the artist's board (painted) vertical (up against the wall) and then step back the 10 ft. Now do this with all 5 lighting situations (morning, mid morning, afternoon, late afternoon and NIGHT). Make sure you know what type of LIGHTING you have (cool lighting throws ++blue; warm lighting shows ++yellow; green lighting throws green light). The reason why the other two samples 'read' pink = the white wash. So long as you move away from the white-wash (which is almost guaranteed to read pink) you will have a much better chance of finding something that works. And to answer your question, White Oak has a STRONG tendency to run a pale yellow with ++ green wood in it. Green is one of the tones White Oak has in it. But it shouldn't matter. A natural finish (clear coat) should work well with what you have. Natural wood (not the orange/yellow of an oil based product) has a classic look that looks amazing with a transitional kitchen....See MoreHas anyone used Mirage Dreamville or Sweet Memories wood floors?
