Solid wood flooring is also called multi-layer solid wood flooring, is made of solid wood cut into pieces and then staggered. There is a little sense of foot, but the multi-layer solid wood can not be polished refurbished, the surface of the veneer case of hard objects is extremely easy to damage, and solid wood flooring can be polished several times after re-painting, renovation and the new floor is the same, and Good wood flooring is a certain value of the property.

Q:New house ready to renovate, bedroom inside want to use composite floor, but I heard that the composite floor radiation, is true or false ah? The The More

No radiation! Korean and Japanese heating is very developed, the vast majority of residents shop is solid wood flooring. I began to learn nothing about the floor, and later through the study, found the solid wood flooring is the best choice for the following reasons: We all know solid wood flooring (solid wood flooring) in addition to the advantages of solid wood flooring Such as: not easy to deformation anti-Alice, good maintenance, not Jiaoqi, etc.: ① solid wood flooring substrate is more than Liu amine, breathable, comfortable better; ② with the amount of plastic The use of ceramic lacquer, wear resistance are better, but also the use of ceramic paint, But not as strengthen the composite; ⑤ not Jiaoqi, good care. It has a good moisture resistance, because its substrate is the use of criss-cross the willow wood pressed from the wood to eliminate the internal stress. The same solid wood flooring brand a lot, but they have a small production line brand, but also the use of OEM (OEM). Note: the purchase of the floor is not harder the better, because the harder texture, the foot feel worse, and lost the wood itself, sound absorption, moisture and other advantages. Some businesses often use some metal objects to cut the floor to the floor from damage as well, this is just a business promotion gimmick. We know the most obvious truth: the wood must be afraid of iron (the two of the molecular structure is not the same), on the contrary not afraid of the floor of the iron is not necessarily pure wood products. I hope you will not be misled by the advertising of the business. To know the statistics on the floor in terms of complaints, 100 complaints, because the wear problem even one is not, very simple reason ... ... who will be wearing their own high heels will be free to step on it? Or use metal hard objects to knock on their own floor it? The So the real problem is that the floor is cracking, deformation and so on.

Q:The price is only 60 cents a sq foot but i heard there were a lot of advantages of engineer, it looks nicer becuase it goes together better, more moisture resisent etc. But i do i have a indoor door so i might have to refinish it more. Let me know from people who have it installed

Are you one a concrete slab or putting it in the Basement. Engineered flooring is typically for those areas. Now many companies offer an engineered floor with a very thick wear layer, which can be sanded as many times as a solid wood. You can't sand past the tongue and groove on a solid wood so the Wood underneath the tongue and groove are wasted(not good for tree huggers) Also Engineered floors expand and contract 40 to 80 % less then solid wood.(depend on how many layers of plywood is used) BUT Installation on engineered is typically more because of the glue down method(Don't nail engineered floors even though the company says you can, they want you to buy) (also don't float an engineered floor unless it has the glue less locking system.) So to answer your question in a nutshell if you are on concrete or basement .......engineered with a thick wear layer.

Q:Home decoration, prepared in the main sleeper flooring, how to choose it? Ask for more advice

Solid wood flooring good quality, high environmental rating, high prices; composite floor grade low, low prices

Q:We had bought some Virginia Millworks 1/2 thick hand scraped engineered nail down flooring for our kitchen. I had asked the guy at Lumber Liquidators where we bought it from if I needed to take the flooring out of the boxes to let it acclimate and he said no, that I could leave it in the boxes. When we got it home all we did was remove the plastic wraping from the boxes and then let the boxes sit side by side, not stacked, in the kitchen. We don't have a lot of space to leave the flooring out anyway. I then got sick for a while so everything sat in the kitchen as we left it for 3 weeks. I'm better and ready to lay it down this weekend but I just read that if I don't have a moisture meter to test the moisture content then I should lay the flooring out of the packaging for 7 days. Should I still do that or do you think having the flooring resting 3 weeks in unsealed cardboard boxes is fine? It's going down over a raised wooden sublfoor with red rosin paper, if it matters. Thanks in advance.

You should be fine. Moisture testing is generally done for new construction since subflooring can be exposed to the weather and it will take a long time to dry properly.Unless of course your floor has been exposed to these conditions,which I don t think so..The only thing I would ve done was to open the boxes, but thats generally done when acclamating the wood for a 72 hr time frame.Rosin paper is fine.. As far as cleats or staples are concerned, that should be check w/ the manufacturer. Staples are now usually ok from the makers , but make sure 1st, you don t want to void your warranty. The length of the staple will be specified too. To drive staples there are 2 types of guns you can use.The stand up and drive them in or a special trigger type gun that you are on your knees and shoot them in. This is the method I prefer w/ the engineered wood since its easier to set the wood in place and staple. Don t forget a 10$ pair of knee pads. Any other questions you can e mail me thru my avatar GL
