I Installed Thomasville Hardwood
| Engineered Wood, Hardwood, Installation, Thomasville |
Last week I installed an engineered wood in my own home. I put the Thomasville Engineered Hardwood. I love this stuff, the warranty is good, and it has a great look.
Often readers of this flooring site ask me what I put, so here you go. I love this Thomasville Engineered hardwood. I picked the walnut because the dark color has amazing eye-catching beauty.
I too installed a Thomasville engineered hardwood floor (walnut), with not such good results. Every tenth or so time the installer nailed down a board, the finish would chip off of the board behind it. They sent an inspector who called it a manufacturers defect. I waiting to see if they will rip out what has been installed already, or if I have to do that.
WE installed the walnut Thomasville Hardwood Flooring about 2 months ago and yes it is beautiful but it is a nightmare to keep clean. Any tips? We clean it deeply about once a week and that still isn’t enough. Love the floor but it isn’t realistic in the main areas of a home. (I.E. living room, kitchen, entry way, etc.)
I agree with you kim. We installed 1200 sq ft of Thomasville Walnut engineered hardwood flooring a year ago, and it has been a thorn in our side ever since. The Walnut finish is beautiful, but will not stay clean. We don’t even have any children. They smear, footprints and shoeprints show. Bona Hardwood Floor spray cleaner (recommended by Thomasville) seems to work best, but still requires cleaning twice a week (daily, if my husband is in his OCD mood). The kitchen (for obvious reasons) is the worst room, so we will eventually end up installing tile.
I wish there was a way to put a protective coat of high gloss polyurethane on the floors, but based on the little research I’ve done, it doesn’t appear so. Does anyone know anything different or have other suggestions.
Thanks.
We installed the flooring in our home about a yr and half ago. I called thomasville and they said they would call me back….12 months later and i’m still waiting. I am going to go to my local home depot. This product is defective. You wouldn’t buy, nor would anyone SELL white carpet to people whos feet are made of red wine would they? Whats the differnce. The flooring looks horrible if its even walked on. We have 3 kids and got this flooring thinking it would be easier to keep clean then our previous white carpeting! I was WAAAY WRONG! I clean this floor atleast once a day, sometimes twice! iw ill let you know what results i get, if any!
I to installed the walnut. I loved it in the store but now regret my decision to purchase. I got it from HD. They recommended to bruces cleaning spray and it still looks like ass. Its cloudy and has started to chip in places. I was told this was a tough, resilient product by our friends at HD. 1500 bucks and 600ft later I still regret my decision. Have I mentioned I regret my decision? Dont buy this crap. No matter how big the sale is. They stopped making it for a reason.
