Anyone have issues with Anderson Tuftex Engineered Wood
Comments (2)Most Engineered floors will have some sort of ply underneath. We use a 9 play Baltic Birch for most of our floors. I'm curious about the floors that will stand up to high heals. Which Anderson product is that? Look for an American made product. Not just an American brand. Thats a good first step. Find one with a 4mm wear layer or thicker....See MoreRequest needed on Engineered wood floor feedback - Urgent
Comments (3)OK Sam, now we look at LIFE TIME COST of a floor like the one you are looking at. I would give this floor 15 years at most (which is HIGHLY dependent on the finish and on the construction and on your HOUSE HOLD indoor living conditions). To get to 15 years (without issues) YOU and YOUR HOUSE must provide PERFECT living conditions. Yep. To keep the cheap floors from deteriorating inside of 10 years, you are personally responsible for the indoor climate stability. If you cannot afford the better hardwoods then you probably need to look at HIGH END laminates. A high-end European Laminate will offer 25+ years of service without a hiccough! For the same price you will get a BETTER floor. If you want to play in the 'basement' with wood flooring be prepared to loose the investment much sooner than you would with a HIGH END product in a different category. It's your money. It is your call. We in the flooring industry know how bad these 'bad' products can be. We can type the warnings until we blister our fingers...but, as Smokey the Bear says, "Only YOU can prevent forest fires" (aka. junk wood from being burnt for warmth). It's your call. You have been warned....See MoreEngineered wood flooring advice
Comments (4)The Shaw thickness (3/8") is questionable. The gold standard is 3/4" (solid or engineered...doesn't matter). I didn't find information on the wear layer...but a 'good' engineered hardwood should have 3mm (1/8") of wear layer (the top wood layer). It is almost impossible for a 3/8" hardwood to have 33% of it's thickness (1/8") going to wear layer. And this floor has HEAVY hand scraping which is pretty much 'out of style' right now. In Canada the product is selling for $7.50/sf. Not bad but I would expect a WHOLE BUNCH MORE for the $7/sf range. Normally we see this thickness for sale for $4.99/sf at Home Depot. And remember: subfloor preparation is EVERYTHING. If you are removing carpet, then be prepared to spend $2-$4/sf on subfloor preparation. Your budget for the total job should be over $10/sf....See MoreAnderson Tuftex Flooring - Noble Hall, Sovereign, Thumbs up/down?
