Hardwood Floor Guy Needed

Uhm, Horvie, I think Pigo said "HARDWOOD" floor, not Pergo. There is one in between. Usually laminated like plywood with a top skin of real wood and prefinished. Not what I would call "hardwood" floor. But more that "Pergo". Pergo is laminate but a plastic product. It does have reasonable applications, but they are not usually "high end". I saw that my link requires sign in. Did everyone get that? Or did you get to the pics? |

My office and my wife's office have Pergo. I was able to see your kitchen without a sign-in. Looks nice. I've seen the plywood laminate too. I like the Pergo for the uses/spaces that I have it in. Low use, low traffic, no moisture. The only other floor material I have is carpet in the master bedroom. Even our bathroom has hardwood, oh and the entry and guest bath has tile. |

Since you are reading your fellow freaks, got any comment on them bragging about posting my home address and encouraging wackjobs to do violence? Ooooops, forgot. YOU posted my home address and encouraged wack jobs to do violence. |

I have that in the Salt Lake house. 1 1/2 inch strips, about 1/2 inch thick (over 100 y.o.). Probably started out much thicker. I've set the nails a couple of times now. I was able to see your kitchen without a sign-in. Looks nice. That's about 13/16's #3 hickory 4" wide. I saved all the scrap for the smoker! I've seen the plywood laminate too. Just another option. Looks a little more like real hardwood than pergo. And can be done by a semi proficient DIY. I like the Pergo for the uses/spaces that I have it in. Low use, low traffic, no moisture. The only other floor material I have is carpet in the master bedroom. Even our bathroom has hardwood, oh and the entry and guest bath has tile. I've got vinyl and carpet in the bath's. I'd like to go with cork when I get around to it. There's no question that there are suitable applications for pergo. I wouldn't put it in the entry of a $1M home. I'd put it in a $200K one, depending on the circumstance. It's only a floor after all. |

While your right it's only a floor, I do hate replacing them when if you pick the right stuff and do a good job, you won't need to as in your Salt Lake house. |

The stuff in my SL house is 100 years old. Still there. I just don't know how many more times it can be refinished. Without kids I think it will last as long as I need it to. This hickory is _super_ hardwood. The staples into the tounge are pretty far down there from the refinish zone. Unless someone really abuses it and runs around in here with metal spikes on, it should last forever. I like to do things the best that they can be done. But sometimes there are cost/reward factors to consider. That didn't happen in the kitchen however. We pretty much went all out on that. The hardware was $2300 !!!!!! |
