I want to use mats to protect my engineered hardwood floor by the entry door and in front of the sink in the kitchen. I've read all sorts of conflicting info on the internet about whether rubber or latex backed floor mats will harm the surface of the floor by either scratching, chemically...

I'd like to have some 1/2" thick engineered wood to replace some damaged 3/8" wood. Currently, the 3/8" is perfectly level with the tile in the bathroom and there is no transition piece of any sort. Is there a way to put in some sort of unobtrusive transition in the door to account for the...

New thread about my inability to find dark engineered flooring. I see plenty of unfinished engineered wood with 4mm wear layers for sale. Apparently these are meant to be stained somehow. However, I had an experienced floor stainer over here who told me not to try it because it would have to be...

Anyone know of a really dark engineered wood? I see it in design photos, but can't find it, only medium dark. I currently have Triangulo Maduro Chestnut that has to be replaced due to water damage. I like the dark color, but since it has little grain or variation, everyone, including pros...

So I can't afford to redo all of the engineered hardwood, with the high labor cost. My alternative plan would be to just remove the wood from the kitchen and replace it with tile or luxury vinyl. Is it possible to just cut out the wood from the kitchen and have a nice clean cut between the...

I had some water damage in a small area and am going to tear up that area and replace in all continuous areas and will likely also replace bedroom on same level. What would a normal labor cost, per square foot, be for tear out and replace? The contractor is saying $14.80 per sq. ft. This...

In the winter, the boards of my wood floor pull apart. Do I need to add more humidity in winter to solve this? Thanks.

It's me again. I was the person who's tongue in groove engineered flooring pulled apart awhile back. It turned out that the installer had floated it without using any glue and without proper underlayment. He wouldn't fix it, I sued and got my money back and hired another installer. New...

About a month ago, I had my upstairs done with engineered hardwood. About a week later, it started separating. The guys came back out and fixed it, but now it's starting to happen again. (See photos). A couple of years ago I had my landing done in the same wood (different installer), and it...

I have a dumb question. For a long time, I've been using a Bona micro fiber pad that has been slightly dampened with water and wrung out, and periodically rinsed in water and wrung out, along with the Bona spray, to clean my floor. Looking at the specs of my floor, it says to use no water to...

A few years ago I had Triangulo engineered Maduro Chestnut put on my lower level. At the time, an installer or two looked at it and called it "laminate", and since, some guests to my house have referred to my "laminate" flooring. I just had an installer come to give me an estimate for putting...

I'm thinking of using this flooring because I like the color, but I can't find any reviews on it and I'm concerned that it only has a 2MM wear layer. I'm a flooring newbie. I've gotten countless samples from other companies but haven't found anything as dark of a brown as this Envi in smooth...
