Solid wood floors and solid wood floor which is good?
It's too arbitrary to say that! Solid wood flooring is formed by direct processing of wood flooring, solid wood flooring is also called the original floor, with no pollution, the pattern of natural, elegant, rich perceptual quality, should emphasize the real advantages of flexibility, is the preferred material at home decoration in the laying of the floor. Its disadvantage is the large color, not wear, easy to lose luster.
is it necessary to seal a concrete floor when laying engineered hardwood floor?
You really need to check with the manufacturer of your flooring but many manufacturers recommend that you cover a two or three foot square area of the concrete with a sheet of plastic with all of the edges sealed with tape so any moisture that might be migrating up from below the slab will be trapped. You let the sheet set undisturbed for 24 to 48 hours. If there is a moisture, you will see drops of water or at least the concrete will be damp. If this test shows no moisture then you don't have to worry about sealing the concrete. In any case most engineered floor systems use a thin plastic foam sheet that when completely taped at the joints serves as both padding and a vapor barrier.

There are many kinds of solid wood flooring, each has its advantages and disadvantages, can be selected according to individual needs.
My new house is going to launch, I want to make the wood floor, the existing wood cedar, camphor wood, the wood is cut down after more than ten years, how it can be made into a wooden floor, the auxiliary materials needed (such as paint, floor wax) where the purchase price? The boy is polite

I need to match the engineered hardwood from Summitt Forest (Mendocino, American Walnut 5in wide, 0.5 inch thick, Autumn Harvest color). Has anyone else done this before? If you have can you share a close match?
We had engineered floors in our Cary home. I hated them, but that's another story (but I agree with your husband--keep your tile in the kitchen because one drop of water did damage ours). I was told that ours could be refinished once (not sure about changing the color). You need to check with whoever installed yours about that. But, if you did refinish the existing floors you may never be able to do it again. Personally, if you're committed to putting down engineered floors, I'd stick with the same color unless you want to tear out what you already have.
Is thickness a major concern with engineered hardwood flooring? My subfloor is 3/4 ply.Here's an example.
With subfloor only 3/4 thick, I'd recommend the 3/4 inch finish flooring. If you used 1 1/16 subfloor, then I'd say look how thick the wear layer (top layer) of the new flooring is, then decide. I personally use 3/4 inch thick solid oak finish flooring in my homes, so it will last about as long as an anvil.
What is more expensive the laminate flooring or hardwood flooring? And should I get it done through lowes or home depot?
