FAQ

I am about to have it installed--glued to vinyl over concrete. Moisture level OK. Does it wear well? Does it dent easily? What are the pros and cons on engineered flooring?

I am a kitchen designer and have experience working with and selling flooring as well. A lot of my clients are doing wood or engineered wood in the kitchen these days. The way I see it, every type of flooring has its pros and cons. Tile for example, is very resisitant to water damage and seems perfect for a kitchen environment! However, it comes with its draw backs; it chips if you drop something on it and it cracks as the house settles. It is also cold. Some people will do vinyl in the kitchen (some people call it linolium). This product holds up well to foot traffic, but it is a soft material. If you drop a knife on it, it will stick right in. Then you've got wood and engineered wood. Some people shy away from these products because they think they will get seriously water damaged. My opinion; no need to worry. Obviously, if you have a major leak under the sink or dishwasher, address it quickly. You should address something like that quickly REGARDLESS of what type of floor is under it. But as far as a little bit of water goes...like you drop a beverage on the floor, don't worry about it. Clean it up, but don't panic. If it sits there for a few minutes while you go find a towel or sponge, its no big deal. If your dog comes in out of the rain and leaves a puddle you don't notice for an hour or two, don't worry. The wood/ engineered wood is tightly sealed. It will not start disolving and warping before your eyes! It holds up just fine. The advantage of engineered wood over hardwood? You don't have to refinish it. It doesn't wear down the way hardwood does. Engineered wood floors have been very popular in Europe for a long time. Much longer than its been around in the states. It's actually an old and reliable technology, so don't worry. It would have gone out of style a long time ago if it didn't work. So rest assured you've made a good choice! Good luck and enjoy :)

I am installing about 1000sf of engineered hardwood flooring, and I would like to use the Bostitch SB-150SX finish stapler that I already own to fasten the flooring. Has anyone attempted using a finish stapler (as opposed to a flooring stapler) to install flooring? Am I making a mistake?

Yes you can, depending on the thickness. 1/2 thickness max. 1 1/2 long, 3/16 crown staple every 4 to 6 inches and no more than 2 inches from the end. I have two of these staplers and have laid 1000's of sq. ft. without a problem. Lay the flooring pependicular to the floor joists and you should be fine.

Determine the species, the need to further determine the species, color, grade, price, specifications.4 currently on the market of wood flooring manufacturers and brands are dazzling, dizzying, three products meet the eye everywhere. So buy sure to know the floor of the brand and reputation. Try to buy well-known brand flooring.

Distinguish by the following methods:Choose the color and grain, a lot of people think that the wood is as hard as possible, in fact, hard wood, although it has better wear resistance, but relatively poor dimensional stability, the wood floor size selection, try to choose a narrow and short, although the effect is not as good as the laying of short and wide floor appearance, but from the wood the characteristics, size is smaller, its deformation is small.

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.

We are building a new home and are having engineered wood floors 1/2 thick and 5 wide installed in our living room and hallways, no wet areas. Our floor installer says he does not usually put a moisture under the wood floors and it has always worked out fine. I have read conflicting information regarding having the moisture barrier and not having it. I would appreciate any information or opinions.

Although, being installed in a dry area, you'll have duct work and sweaty pipes throughout your walls and floors. A moisture barrier should always be used. 1 roll of rosin paper $10.00 covers 500 s.f. The contractor doesn't want to spend the money, you're paying to much for his service.

The thermal conductivity of the floor and floor thickness, multi-layer parquet thickness and the thickness of laminate flooring is similar, but the anti deformation groove it back in favor of air circulation, reduce noise, thermal conductivity is better than that of the floor. Wood floor material thermal conductivity from large to small order: solid wood flooring, laminate flooring.

House to be renovated headache for the choice of the floor, wooden floor appearance, but it will also decay, deformation, anti termite; and there is no tile problem, but now many people use wood floor, people really do not know how to choose? Do you have any friends who can give professional advice?

Indoor light, the light can be considered a strong reflection of the wooden floor, the light can be considered shallow color tiles.Decorative:Combined with the living room walls, ceilings, furniture overall consideration. For example, the walls of the wood structure is more, and are wood type paste, or furniture style classic, with the color of the floor will look more harmonious. For example, if it is hard line style, or black and white color to the main, can be considered with tiles, etc..
