Advantages and disadvantages of Pan longan wood flooring.Birch flooring harder, not easy to impress
space and within 100 feet of a canal. Thanks
100% engineered floor. The solid wood is not a good idea with the amount of moisture you likely have coming up from the crawlspace. Engineered is designed to withstand alot of the movement associated with solid wood, but it should still not be installed unless certain moisture and humidity ranges are met. Have a professional stab the subfloor with a moisture meter. If you are getting over 16%, then even engineered wood is probably not a great idea. If you proceed with the engineered wood, be sure to glue it down with a moisture cured urethane or you can trowel on a moisuture vapor barrier like Bostik MVP. Being 100 ft from the canal, you probably should stick with tile. Have a professional flooring company come out to give you an estimate and ask them to test the moisture in the subfloor. Then just check with different manufacturers to see if that fits within their recommended range.
I want to decorate the house, I would like to ask how to buy real wood floor?
Color: quality wood floors should be natural color, clear wood. If the color of the floor surface is heavy, the paint layer is thicker, it may be for the purpose of covering the surface defects of the floor, and when the floor for the six side of the paint when the need to pay attention to. At the same time, due to the different plate in its parent trees -- where there are differences in sapwood and heartwood, wood table, wood, nightside, sun, respectively, tangential diameter cut and sheet metal cutting, so there must be color. It is the color, natural texture, rich texture changes, highlighting the natural style of solid wood flooring. International home decoration is now popular color difference is huge, long and short, different kinds of materials. With the enhancement of the environmental consciousness of consumers in our country, it is bound to be in the decoration style.
Remodeling -- getting wood floors --- should I do solid or engineered wood flooring?
One thing to remember is if you use the sand and finish type wood flooring, you will have to live with the dust and inconvenience of the loss of using the room for several days. I would still recommend the sand and finish flooring if you can deal with the hassle of the dust etc. Now, one thing that others haven't mentioned is the fact that most engineered flooring comes with a 20-25 year warranty on the finish. Check and see, because if you don't want to have to bother re-doing your flooring for a long time, you might want to invest in the engineered flooring but to me, it looks fake. Not really like laminate but I just don't like the pre-finished OR the engineered floors, but you have to make that call depending on your financial situation as well as the inconvenience you're willing to experience. Also be sure when you pick out your flooring, if you DO use the engineered or pre-finished, look at the space between the boards......some have a deeper groove which, to me, would catch dirt. In a sand and finish floor, of course there is no groove, so that is also a plus. (another thing to remember is, if you really want something pretty that will be unusual, do something in the exotic woods instead of the oak that everyone does. While oak is nice, it's so blase. Almost everyone has oak and while it's less expensive, if you shop around, you might be able to get a good deal on an exotic hardwood, such as Brazilian Cherry, which is what I have. It is the first thing people notice when they walk in!!!) So, think about that as well and have fun doing this. Good luck to you!!!!!!!
I have an opportunity to purchase cabin quality engineered wood flooring that comes without any warranty by manufacturer. I'm tempted because I can purchase this flooring for about 700.00 less than 1st quality with 30 year warranty. Is the warranty worth it? Has anyone had the experience of filing a claim against a wood floor warranty?
You'll probably replace that floor before you would need the warranty. I have never had an experience with filing a claim. But have worked for many attorneys and if you are going to get a warranty make sure you read it before you buy it. It might not cover what you would think it would

It depends on the wood floor. Wood floors are solid wood flooring, solid wood flooring and laminate flooring. Here is a general introduction to these three floors, you can refer to:
I'm installing an engineered wood floor in a second floor bedroom. Currently has a plywood subfloor in fairly decent shape. However there are some voids and gaps in the subfloor. What product should be used to fill these areas? Would ceramic tile adhesive work? Do the gaps between plywood sheets (maybe 1/8 gap) need to be taped and filled?Thanks?
Do NOT fill the gaps between the sheets of plywood! These need to be there to allow for wood expansion. In fact, if you don't have those gaps, run a circular saw, set at 3/4, down all the joints to open them up. With out this gap, if the plywood swells, it will buckle up at the joints. Voids in the subfloor like knot holes in the top ply aren't an issue. But dips and high spots are an issue. Make sure all the nail heads are flush (and add deck screws if there are any loose spots). Your flooring instructions should list the maximum dip/rise in a given run. If you've got low spots (cr@py carpenter didn't crown all the joists), you can cut pieces of roofing felt to fill in the void. If it takes several layers, feather them with progressively larger pieces, just like you'd feather a drywall joint. High spots can be taken down with a grinder or belt sander with 40 grit paper If you've got a floor with a lot of dips and rises, you can use a self leveling cement to bring it level. It's very thin, like a runny milkshake, and you spread a thin layer with a large floor squeegee. It's thin enough that it finds it's own level, puddling in the low spots. This is typically only needed for tile, but you could do it for wood/laminate.over a really bad subfloor
