Hello. I received a request for before and after pictures of our floor. I went ahead and put in a review as well. First let me tell you we love the floor and will definitely work with LL again. My pictures may not be the best because I captured them with my phone. Mike P. |

As seen on... Extreme Makeover, Home Edition! Colonial American homes were built with wooden floors that were sawn using basic hand-held tools. The hand-crafted workmanship that went into those floors can be found in Virginia Millworks handscraped floors. About Golden Teak: Don't forget the molding and stair treads! Lumber Liquidator$

We had this floor installed in our family room. We love the color and richness of the wood! It' s great for high traffic areas! Lumber Liquidators in Cleveland was very helpful in the process.

Comments about Virginia Mill Works 3/4" x 4-3/4" Golden Teak Handscraped:
I was really disappointed in the amount of short boards that were in the boxes. I ordered over 1,100 sf of wood and very few boards were over 2 feet in length. For the price of this wood, that is just wrong. There should be a disclaimer stating you will be receiving short boards. Again, really disappointed.

We wanted something elegant but not too formal. This wood is beautiful but has a lot of rustice character. It is the perfect balance.

Comments about Virginia Mill Works 3/4" x 4-3/4" Golden Teak Handscraped:
I installed roughly 1300 sq ft of this, over a great room and kitchen area, down some hallways.
1st off, the flooring itself is wonderful, you wont be disappointed by the look of this flooring. Also the wider planks are wonderful , hey if your a DIY person this all adds up when your bending over with the pneumatic gun installing it.
Seemed to be plenty of different lengths so that randomizing the pattern was pretty simple, my wife handled the layout so as to minimize wood loss at the ends of the rooms, and keep from getting dreaded stairs and Hs during installation.
My dislikes are minor but could be major for you depending on who you are.
1) If you have high traffic areas, pets, etc - its going to show EVERYTHING.
We have a dog and every paw print etc, pet hair shows up very easily. Dont get me wrong, you have to vacuum and clean but it just doesnt seem like it takes much to show.
2) Now you have to take this with a grain of salt since im not a professional floor installer but i found that the planks weren't exact the same widths, so when we installed, it was easy to get small gaps, or make the floor uneven(bumps). This might be normal i have no idea but for as much of it as we ran into, if you were to discard all of it, it would cost a fortune so I used my saws a lot to even out pieces. A 16th of an inch over a 25 foot section can be a big deal.
Overall seems to handle scratches and wear pretty well, you can see them but with some stain and correct tools, it cleans up nicely.
Nice product - my biggest issue again is the color, very pretty but i am looking forward to the pets not being as prominent.

This floor is so pretty when installed - we've had a lot of compliments on it. It is very hard so nailing was a little difficult. It does have filler in some of the pieces but it doesn't look bad. Also, don't put cardboard down while you are working on it or you could easily take a ride!

Comments about Virginia Mill Works 3/4" x 4-3/4" Golden Teak Handscraped:
I replaced all flooring on our 1st floor (1100 Sqft) with this beautiful wood. We are very happy with the appearance of the flooring. For the most part I find the flooring finish to be durable, but with about 4 weeks of use there are a few scratches from our labradoodle. I have found that the scratches easily blend though, especially if you use a brown magic marker to blend it in.
This was my first (and hopefully last) installation of wood flooring. This wood is very hard, not so much to cut with tablesaw/chop saws, but nailing down was tough for my porter cable nailer. I cranked the PSI to 120 and mostly did not have problems after that adjustment.
I have two complaints about this wood. The widths of boards vary. I used a caliper measuring device to check width on each board (approx 30 per box). If you do not do this you will have some unsightly gaps. This significantly slowed down installation.
The other issue I have with this wood is use of wood filler in many of the boards (I estimate at least 1/2 of the boards used filler). This is by no means "clear" furniture grade wood, and sometimes they manufacturer needed to use fillers on knots, etc. I have no problem with that and it does blend in fine. However when they notice a split in the wood the company runs a saw blade down the split and fills the gap with filler. Sometimes you can cut this section out but other times you'll end up throwing out a board. To be fair I had very little waste, < 3%.
The variety of colors is spectacular, even in each box. Sometimes a box would not have much variety in length of boards so make sure you use 2-3 boxes at a time so you can ensure not only color variability but also size variability.
I do appreciate lumber liquidators. They worked hard to make sure we were happy with our product and I would definitely do business with them again.

Beautiful floors. We had them professionally installed so I can't say much on how easy or difficult they are. Though the milling seemed to be well done, so there was not a lot of waste. We had very little to no waste. Ended up with extra boxes. The wood is very hard. Hand scraping really adds character. Some boards more subtle than others with nice color variation, but nothing too drastic. The color looks a bit "redder" in the pics than it really is. I would recommend looking at a sample in store or request one to be sure you like the color. I looked at a ton of wood colors and typs and styles, and keot going back to this one depsite the cost. totally owrth it. The wood is VERY hard, so make sure you have a strong nail gun.

Lumber Liquidators recommends the Bellawood floor cleaner for cleaning our hardwood, laminates and cork products Because of the many different cleaning products available each with its own specific application methods, Lumber Liquidators cannot recommend a particular cleaning product by brand name.

Could this type of pre-finished wood be used as flooring in a covered (screened) porch?1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
No. Urethane finishes are top finishes and they cannot handle the expansion and contraction rates wood is subjected to outside. HOWEVER you can use an unfinished hardwood (preferably quarter/rift sawn) finished with tung or other natural oils with a covered porch. These site finished penetrating sealers expand and contract with the flooring without cracking.Q:
