Quality Pre-engineered flooring recommendations

calah

I am looking for recommendations for quality pre-engineered wood flooring. I feel like every time I think I have found something good, I look at reviews and they are all bad! I would like a 4 mm face veneer (or close to that) and core layer that is at least 8 layers. It would be great to see if anyone actually likes their flooring and thougth it has held up. I can find very few consistent positive reviews. I really appreciate your insight!

    Evaluation includes testing for denting and scratch resistance. Order samples of finalists and test denting with a hammer and use a butter knife for scratching. Order a box to see the real range of tone for lighter floors. Engineered is available unfinished. You can use water-based poly from Bona and Ciranova to get matte non-yellowing raw wood look hard finishes. Monarch Plank Link. and Hurst Link. among many others have unfinished and finished examples in prime and rustic flat cut. The different species from Western, Central and Easter Europe are denser with less open grain than our Oak. Flat cut shows off more structure in wide planks. Malaysia, Vietnam and China are mostly producing this flooring. Ask country of origin.

    Riva Spain is a European wood floor brand that appears to align with your preferences. Attached is the best-selling color, a 10" Max Crystal Select. I hope you find it to your liking.

    Big fan of the manufacturer Mafi https://mafi.com/en/natural-wood-floors/, represented in our area by Green Home Solutions, https://www.ghsproducts.com/. Sustainable, high-quality product and wears beautifully.

    We had Mohawk TecWood in a family room in our last house, and even though we had two dogs and a lot of traffic, we had no issues in the four years we were there. The previous owner had installed them, and they were there about ten years. I'm not sure of the specifications you cited; you might check their website.
