Can someone tell me what is best for a house and why? What are advantages and disadvantages?Thanks
If budget is no issue then real wood is the way to go. Yes, some engineered wood flooring is expensive too. But, the real wood surface is much more manageable and will out last engineered flooring 2 to 1. The real question is in deciding which wood flooring to go with. You should contact some contractors and get at least 3 or more suggestions. Good Luck! You will enjoy your wood floors.
Said compound wood floor with formaldehyde more harmful to the body is true?
Price aspect:The price of solid wood flooring is higher than the compound wood floor, but also depends on what kind of tree floor.General wood floors in environmental protection, comfort is good, but also precious care is trouble
just thinking outside the box and wondering if one could apply wax of some sort to the joints as it's installed? going to put this down in a kitchen
If its good quality, no need to do any thing special. We have hardwood in our kitchen and baths. The kitchen has had a small flood twice. No problems and its been down about 10 years. Just be sure to get the correct adhesive as recommended by the manufacture. We have never waxed the floor.
my engineered wood floor is popping up in the hall way, it seems to have expanded, how do i re-secure?
Make sure that there's nothing wrong with your house's beam and support columns. I'm going to guess that the floating floor is popping up from moisture since its a secluded piece. Try to look underneath of that spot in your crawl space or basement to check for water damage from moist pipes or hungry critters. I'm posting a link to different methods to try. Yours hold of course try to identify the cause to prevent it from happening again. Maybe a dehumidifier in that room could be a good idea. Moisture levels should be below 60% (30-50%) to avoid moisture damage
I am thinking about putting down about 500 sq ft of Engineered Wood Flooring instead of Laminate. To keep it quiet for the neighbors below, I am thinking about using a cork underlayment. Since this install will be on the 2nd floor, do I still need to use a moisture barrier under the cork? Also, do I have to glue the cork down? I would rather not- the floor might be gypcrete which might not like glue. I am planning to float the floor using a click lock system. This is my first time so any other suggestions would be appreciated e.g., type of species to use, tips, etc.
You will not need to add a moisture barrier. You do not need to glue down the underlayment or flooring on a floating floor. You will need to tape down the underlayment. Buying good underlayment will make the floor quieter for the people on the first floor and make the feel of the floor softer for you. Good luck putting in the floor. I have installed several. Make sure you buy the install tools. They are cheap and will make the installation smoother.

Multilayer solid wood floor surface layer is 3-8m thick wood skin (usually a ring cutting, multilayer veneer veneer) bottom crisscross adhesive used compression bonding. The utility model is characterized in that the utility model has the decorative effect of the solid wood floor, compared with the solid wood floor, the utility model has the advantages of small deformation, better stability and more economy. However, if the use of glue may exceed the formaldehyde content.
We are buying a house where the first floor will all be hand-brushed engineered hardwood flooring. I would like to find some kind of liner or guard that could potentially stick onto the floors directly (in the most aesthetically pleasing way) to protect it from spills of various kinds. We have a baby who is very likely to do all the spilling, so I'd prefer to avoid all the heartache proactively :) Is there a product out there that comes close to what I have in mind?
Engineered flooring is pre finished and is usually not nailed in place. This makes it pretty much impossible to coat the floor with any additional protectant. About the best you can do is to use a rug of some kind in areas where spills are likely.
