Stuga flooring question
Comments (73)I dont know how it compares to Karhs but i know for instance costco and lowes carry Shaw (typically a high quality flooring) but its a lower grade so this may be a similar situation. If i were you i would order samples and show it to an experienced flooring expert, someone who has been in the field awhile. They will be able to tell you how stugas’ flooring compares to high quality brands. i’m sure they have the most knowledge and can sense immediately if there may be problems. I did email stuga with questions about the wear layer. So i know if you tell them about your household they can answer that question and suggest specific styles that will fit your needs. Depending on the wear and tear of your household you might want to choose a darker or rustic floor—they hide scratches better. I have a yorkie (no children) and when I did reach out to them they recommended the Shell flooring versus the lighter Greta/Fika/Moonlight shades (which would show scratches more). We have several projects going on and we are trying to do everything in the correct order. We decided to have the oak floors in our home restained so we are currently in the process of refinishing them. I’m excited to bring our 1990 mahogany stained oak floors to 2022...See MoreFlooring question

Comments (9)"A really good flooring person may be able to gradually transition the hardwood flooring from the adjacent room raising it gradually to meet the new floor (they would need to feather it all in and restain it)" That's a definite non-starter. In all likelihood the flooring is 3/4" thick. Architectural specifications generally allow a 1/8" variation over a 10' span, so this scenario would require 60' to rise 3/4", both parallel and perpendicular to the direction of the existing wood. Far simpler to remove the extra layer of subfloor in the kitchen. It would look best to stagger the end joints as you mention, rather than using a flush divider....See MoreRelated Professionals
