I specified this flooring to my builder in a fire rebuild. Not only am I completely happy with the finished result - but everyone comments on how great it looks.
I didn't install myself but I understand there were no problems. Also i obviously don't know how it will wear over time but at the outset it has taken a lot of traffic as the work on the house continued - and shows no signs of wear. I had hoped for more of the longer boards - but overall the mix of lengths and the width of the boards turned out right. (Together, these slight reservations/unknowns are the reasons I didn't go ahead with 5 stars).
The finish is low-shine, more like an oiled & waxed floor - very modern and organic look. There is a texture to the surface that 'ripples' under the touch - it is pleasing and smooth giving the feel of a more aged floor.
The color has a lot of variation and some black appears quite often. I looked for that 'busier' look for this house - as everything else will be simple in design and decor.
It was pretty much perfect for my project, and the price was on-budget."..." Read more
