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.
1. I live on the 14th floor of a 60 year old building. Would I need a moisture barrier?2. I want to glue hardwood to cork underlayment and float the cork underlayment over the concrete. Is this possible or advisable?
Most engineered flooring doesn't require a glue down, if you do want to glue it down, you'll have to do it directly to the concrete. You can a concrete sealer as a vapor barrier. I've installed most of these systems using a foam vapor barrier with no fastening, as a floating floor. Good Luck!
This has an engineered backing with real oak top about 1/4 thick.
Since engineered wood is a relatively recent development it isn't too likely you will find someone who has refinished some though. You might try calling around to a few refinishing specialists. The thickness of the real wood layer on better engineered wood flooring is essentially identical to the thickness above the tongue of solid hardwood ... therefore refinishing is done the same way and the same cautions apply.
I am considering engineered flooring of good quality, since you can get better value for exotic wood. the sample i am considering is natural dark wood, which is expensive with solid hardwood. the Aluminum oxide coating with prefinished flooring cannot be applied on site, and makes the wood more resistent.
There are solid hardwoods (exotic and domestic) that come in varying thicknesses and are prefinished with aluminum oxide. Such as 3/4, 5/16, and 7/16 thick, all three of these can be re-finished more than once but you're really better off never re-finishing if possible because the finish that is applied is no where close to the quality of aluminum oxide. There are also engineered hardwoods that you can refinish at least once, sometimes twice
I know I can stencil, but the area is huge and wallpaper cutouts or boarder seems like a good idea to me. I can then seal it with many coats of some kind of low voc clearcoat. I was going to test this in one of the closets to see how it works.
You can actually do whatever you like knowing it is stylish and seems easy to do. It's a good idea in any hardwood floor to put some design.

Panel: in the poor quality of solid wood substrate affixed to 0.05mm - 2mm thickness of solid wood veneer, in order to act as a pure solid wood flooring sales to deceive consumers. Because of this kind of floor from the substrate due to inferior quality is not stable, and will use the inferior wood veneer and pressed together with adhesive, easy to cause the peeling veneer and the substrate, and the existence of a formaldehyde content is not environmental protection.Identification method: can be observed through the comparison of the floor surface and the bottom of the identification, the surface of the wood floor and the ground is basically the same, and the panel is completely different.
I'm looking to save a little money by buying 5/8 inch engineered wood flooring as opposed to 3/4 inch. I'll be installing it on concrete.What is the disadvantage of using 5/8's if any?Thanks
On a concrete floor, you must use an engineered floor, unless you build a plywood subfloor first. (There is no reason to do this) A 5/8 engineered floor is usually a good floor. Look at the thickness of the top layer. You could save even more by buying a laminate floor instead. Not only is it less expensive, but it is MUCH easier to maintain. I wouldn't consider the cheap laminates, but the better ones. Find a retailer you trust to show you the difference. (Ikea and Home depot have junk)
