I'll bet at least one person on this list has an opinion on the topic. Pros and Cons for pre-finished solid wood flooring vs engineered? We're trying to keep the price at $6 / square foot or less, but willing to exceed that if necessary.
Major consideration: The new floor must stand up to the weight of three pianos, two uprights and one baby grand. No dogs in the house, just humans and cats. We are trying to decide on new flooring for our downstairs. We've got tile in the kitchen, which we love and aren't going to change. The entryway and connected hallway (and two closets and a half-bathroom) have a solid wood oak floor, 20 years old now but holding up nicely. The rest of the downstairs is carpet, which we hate and it MUST GO. So we've pretty much decided that we'll replace all the carpet and the existing oak floor with new wood. We'd really like to have only two different types of flooring downstairs (tile and wood). The stairwell is carpeted, and ideally that is the only place we'll keep carpeting. However, the bannisters and faux stair edges are in oak to match the entryway. I think we can live with a mis-match between stairs and new wood flooring. -- ------------- Max Charleston SC _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, those individuals are responsible for the content of the post.
