Re: [MBZ] OT Wood Floors - solid wood vs. engineered

I have recently put down 3 floors. One prefinished brazilian cherry, one prefinished hickory, and one unfinished brazilian cherry. These are all solid wood. The prefinished brazilian cherry is really nice. The hickory is nice but that stuff really moves with moisture and temperature. The

Re: [MBZ] OT Wood Floors - solid wood vs. engineered

Opinion: Keep the current wood floor you have, which is solid wood, and sand it to a fresh finish. [there are machines you can rent to do that]. Then match the area where you remove carpeting with new solid wood. You can then stain and finish the whole lot the same for a match, without the

Re: [MBZ] OT Wood Floors - solid wood vs. engineered

I agree. Engineered is garbage. It will always have a cheap look to it. The pre finished is nice but it has a subtle bevel and a finish which is too perfect. These both detract in my opinion. The best is solid wood sanded then finished. Sent from my iPhone On Nov 12, 2014, at 9:21 AM, G Mann

Re: [MBZ] OT Wood Floors - solid wood vs. engineered

Why not buy or make your own oak flooring to match what is there? The prefinished stuff is nowhere near as nice as the old oak (or maple) flooring. Maybe you can find a school that is taking up their maple flooring and get then for the hauling if you want to go cheap. I got some oak

Re: [MBZ] OT Wood Floors - solid wood vs. engineered

I have done real TG oak and maple in about six different houses. This would be solid wood, 3/4 thick, tongue and groove flooring, unfinished. I'm not familiar with a prefinished 3/4 wood product. I have done engineered flooring, specifically Pergo, in a couple of houses. My personal preference

Re: [MBZ] OT Wood Floors - solid wood vs. engineered

Hurst Hardwoods for the pre-finished and I think the unfinished, build.com for the hickory (although they have other stuff too). I actually can't remember on all of it, would have to pull my receipts and check. Hurst (not Jabba) is in Tampa and were very good and good prices. I can dig up

Re: [MBZ] OT Wood Floors - solid wood vs. engineered

I particularly hate the 'snare drum' sound of the floating wood-like floors. That said, we've got one of those in the kitchen, and are about to do the same to the boy's room. (Pet bird, carpets. You do the math!) The thing is, in 20 years (?) when these look like crap they'll be easy to take

Re: [MBZ] OT Wood Floors - solid wood vs. engineered

I was concerned about the prefinished stuff too but after researching it I determined that the factory finish is much harder and durable than what can be put down after a floor is sanded. The finishes are warranteed, for whatever that is worth. The prefinished hickory I put down has a small
