When you were looking at floors, did you happen to check into the vinyl? I have heard WONDERFUL things about them. Water cannot damage them and they do not scratch like real wood does and they are also much easier to keep. These are all the reasons why I decided to go with vinyl instead of real hardwood In person, they really do look (they have the "grooves" in them) and feel like real hardwood...they are just so pretty! They put these floors in ALOT of homes now...even in alot of the Parade of Homes houses here |
Vinyl planks, huh? Wow, this sounds very interesting. Iknow those new vinyl floors are really nice. WE just got real wood downstairs (replaced laminate with real wood when it was flooded. I'll attach before and after pics that shows we changed our baseboards to eliminate the quarter round.)
But I'd be very very interested in getting wood-look vinyl in my master bathroom. I don't want to put wood in there because of the water. I can't wait to see your pics when its all done.
Anyway, here's my before and after pics....before Wilsonart Laminate in Northern Birch, After Lauzon Natural Maple:
