We Redefined Quality, Again. We set the quality standard by introducing a groundbreaking finish so tough it allowed us to offer one of the first 50 year warranties. Others followed. So, we raised the bar again. Now Bellawood is backed by a Certified 100 Year Transferable Warranty that covers you and generations to come. One of the most dense and durable species available, Brazilian Redwood distinguishes itself with a breathtaking blend of deep reds and golden browns. Its exquisite grain is mostly straight with an occasional and dramatic wavy pattern on select boards. The advantages of Brazilian Redwood are simple. Its durability lets you live life. But its beauty lets you live life luxuriously. About "Select Grade" Flooring Crafted to a Higher Standard. Every board is milled to precise specifications to ensure ease of install and topped with our industry-leading scratch-resistant finish. In fact, quality control engineers walk over 12 miles a day inspecting each board, before and after the finishing process.

Comments about BELLAWOOD 3/8" x 3" Select Brazilian Redwood:
I had it installed during winter, which was a bad idea. When the hot and humid summer arrived, the floor started to buckle and warp slowly to the point where I had to rip out the entire floor and be redone. I first blamed myself and also my contractor for not knowing much. I then hired someone different with a lot more experience and knowledge. I even had it sit in my hot and humid house so it can acclimate for more than a week. The same thing is happening again but not as bad. It only happens around the longer pieces though. (I think there wasn't enough nails) It can be fixed with some finishing nails and wood filler. It's just very frustrating thinking the second time around will fine. I started thinking to myself how I would have done it differently. Used 18 guage L shape nails instead of 16 guage? (Dense and 3/8" or thinner are prone to crack at the lip. Becareful with the nail you choose and the PSI used). Don't space the nails so far apart? Use a thicker plywood for the subfloor? These things still cross my mind everytime I look at the floor. My advice, is to take my last few comments and let the contractor knows and asks for their advice. Or even talk to the sales people at LL. Thank you and I hope this helps.

Comments about BELLAWOOD 3/8" x 3" Select Brazilian Redwood:
We have the Brazilian redwood instalaed on most of the rooms in the house, and it changes entire house like tuxedo with bow tie. Makes me feel like a millionaire too. It is easy to maintain and to clean up, but upset our doggie due to slippery floor. One thing that we feel negative is the over 10% of product defect ratio. We have to use 3 extra boxes of materials on top of the 5% calulated loss.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about BELLAWOOD 3/8" x 3" Select Brazilian Redwood:
We installed this flooring in our kitchen and love it. The color and finish look great and it has already stood up to a few dropped tools, etc. without a mark. It was done in 4 hours, 125 sq. ft, with an experienced friend doing it and my husband assisting. We were told not to glue it, and we took the advise. We rented a floor stapler and I'm sure it was faster and cleaner.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Beautiful floor installed throughout my 1st level. Very hard wood to cut through and the recommended glue is very difficult to get off. Found the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser was the only way to get the glue off after it cures.

The first 20 boxes had too many short pieces in them. I needed more long boards then short ones. The floor does look wonderful, but I had a lot of small boards left over.

Very pleased with flooring!
Service and delivery comments:
All of the above! Salesmen at your City of Industry location were super, especially Jose Zaldivar. Both were very personable,
helpful and knowledgeable about products. They also put us in touch with Bryan's Flooring, who did a very nice job of installing flooring. We have already told friends and family where to go
for flooring for affordable prices and excellent customer service!

Q:
This floor is installed in much of a home I am buying. I would like to install it in a bathroom that runs into the balance of the wood floor. Can I install it over an old tile floor? If so, what thickness do you suggest? I understand the elevation difference.1 answer
A:
I cannot recommend this solid wood product for a bathroom application.Q:
can you get any hardwood solid pre-finished flooring without micro grooving?1 answer
A:
All of our wood flooring products are going to have a beveled edge.Q:
Would this floor color go with a cherry/cranberry cabinet?1 answer
A:
This product question would be better answered by our Sales Department, they are more familiar with all of our flooring products and can better assist you with your questions.Q:
My puppy sometimes has "accidents" on the floor....does the wood stain and how easy is it to keep from showing marks on it?1 answer
A:
If your "puppy" visits the same spot over time it could stain the wood by getting between the boards.Q:
What type, brand or model of nailer do you suggest for this floor?1 answer
A:
I would suggest a 20 gauge cleat nailer; 1 1/4" length cleat. powernail model 200, or 250M or Primatech model Q550.Q:
Can this product be floated over concrete?1 answer
A:
This product is not designed to be floated, glue down or nail only.Q:
I've noticed that some floors such as this one have the word "select" at the beginning and end of the product name and some such as product 10005401 (which appears to be the same as this one) only have "select" at the end; is there a difference between the two? I am looking for flooring that has a large variety of shades from light to dark; which floor would you recommend?1 answer
A:
Select grade Brazilian Redwood and Cherry species will both have a variance in the color of boards.Q:
Can this product be installed over a concrete slab in Florida?1 answer
A:
Yes it can.Q:
Is this product photosensitive? What are the least photosensitive species that have this coloring?1 answer
A:
Wood products can be dramatic in appearance, especially the exotics. Only factory made products such as tile, vinyl, and wallpaper will have uniformity of color. Keep in mind that wood and corks are natural product and no two installed floors will be identical. Variations in appearance are completely normal and are a desired characteristic. As your floor ages, color or shading called “patina” can occur. This process can be rapid the first 3 months, less in 6 months, then finishing off in about I year. Moving the furniture and rugs around helps to even out areas that were not exposed to light. Try to avoid large area rugs for the first 3 months.Q:
So this product can be nailed down? And if so is it recommended to both nail and glue?1 answer
A:
Yes, the BELLAWOOD 3/8" x 3" Select Brazilian Redwood can be nailed down or glued down to a plywood or concrete subfloor. You would either nail it down or glue it down, no need to do both. For installation instructions please click on the link below.
