what's a good brand for hardwood floor, laminate and engineering wood?
Bruce is a good brand of flooring products, and they carry solid wood too. They carry a variety of prefinished flooring product, that would save you a lot of time on installation. Pergo is gaining recognition as a laminated floor manufacturer, but honestly, Ive seen other product at Lowe's that was just as good, and cost less...
Don't go laminate or any of that crap. Get the real mccoy, in 3/4 oak. I did our floor in some of the best stuff on the market, 3/4 inch oak. I don't unfortunately, remember the company's name. Started with an E. 4 months later we sold that house, I didn't know I was going to be selling it. I think I actually recouped that money I spent (did the labor myself) on that floor because that room was KILLER LOVELY. I kept samples of that flooring on the table for prospective buyers to inspect. It was a real selling point.
