Here are the before and after photos of the new floor we incorporated into the complete reno that we accomplished on our kitchen. We selected handscraped Tobacco Road Teak by Virginia Mill Works. The associates at your Conyers, GA store were great to work with and had excellent advice to offer. In less than a day we and with a little elbow grease we now have a kitchen floor that we are absolutely proud of. Thank you Lumber Liquidators, it was a pleasure working with you. Brian S.

Comments about Virginia Mill Works 3/4" x 4-3/4" Tobacco Road Handscraped:
My husband installed this floor with the help of a friend. This was his first time installing hardwood and had no problems. It went in very easy. We have three dogs and it is not slippery as tradtional hardwood because it is handscraped. It does scratch just like any other hardwood. Because it is handscraped it hides the scratches very well. You can only see the scratches if you get down to floor level. Very easy to clean. We are very happy we chose this hardwood.

Comments about Virginia Mill Works 3/4" x 4-3/4" Tobacco Road Handscraped:
Was a little worried about the wood being so hard. But installation was easy and I had minimal splitting. The compressor set at 80 psi seemed to work the best.
Was somewhat disapointed with the number of boards that had filler. If you want a floor that is uniform this is not the product for you. If you like a floor with a lot of character and variation you will probably like this floor.

Comments about Virginia Mill Works 3/4" x 4-3/4" Tobacco Road Handscraped:
Love love love this floor. Every person who has walked in our door has commented how beautiful it is. I will say I have a 65lb dog and it does scratch easily, but any wood floor is going to scratch.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Virginia Mill Works 3/4" x 4-3/4" Tobacco Road Handscraped:
My wife and I looked at wood flooring for over six months and continued to return to the Lee's Summit Missouri store and look at this product.
Had it installed last month and could not be happier with the floor. We love the choice we made. Jake and crew at the Lee's Summit store were great to work with. We did have the floor professionally installed. The contractor said it was about the best product he had ever worked with. We installed 950 sq ft in our living room, dining room, kitchen, hallway and master bedroom.
Thank you Lumber Liquidators for making our house become the home we always dreamed about.

Comments about Virginia Mill Works 3/4" x 4-3/4" Tobacco Road Handscraped:
I purchased 700 SqFt of this floor to do an addition and a kitchen remod. The finish scratches very easily. The floor is only 5 months old and looks like its been here for years. It's a real shame because this is a really beautiful wood floor.

Q:
We looked at this flooring this weekend. We really like it, but in the showroom there were some gaps between boards. The saleman said that is because they use scrap pieces in showrooms. But after reading some reviews on here other people seem to have this problem. Are these boards that inconsistent? Also, I have 1/2 inch partical board subfloor. Can I just pull that up and lay directly on top of 2x6 t&g decking.Asked on 5/6/2013 by Nick from Hillsboro,OR1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
Floor Gapping can be caused by several factors:
Separating or gapping with a hardwood floor can be caused by major expansion/contraction from temperature/humidity shifts beyond the manufacturers recommended levels (consistent indoor temperatures of 60°-80° F and humidity levels of 35% - 55%). These levels should also be consistent during the acclimation process as noted in the instructions.
You should be okay nailing to the decking. If you want to be certain there is no movement of the subfloor and have very good nail bite or if you are running the flooring parallel to the decking, Cover the decking with 3/8" plywood to isolate board movement (expansion/contraction) that can differentiate from the flooring expansion/contraction rates.

Q:
can I get rid of the scratches on the top coat? I installed 1000sf this past weekend and on Monday my dogs jogged in and scratched the floor fairly significantly. Looks to be the top seal and not the wood. Looks terrible. I've had hardwood floors before and I know they scratch, but this seems to be a little excessive. Steel wool? really fine sandpaper? ??
also, it is a little deceiving to have 'virginia millworks' on the packaging and then have 'made in china' on the interior labels. very concerned about the Quality control. Floor installed well with no gapping though.Asked on 3/25/2013 by Mike from Zimmerman, MN1 answer

Q:
how sun resistant is this floorAsked on 3/22/2013 by bill from iowa1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
Stained flooring can be better because of the colored stain will provide more of a uniformity and lasting color. Natural color flooring on the other hand will change with age and exposure to UV light. These changes will even out with time. There are no set levels for these natural changes.Answered on 3/24/2013 by Tech & Install
Q:
Would you recommend this flooring for homes with dogs.Asked on 1/28/2013 by steve from monrovia md1 answer
A:
Despite today's advanced technology, water spills, dirt and other abrasive substances can damage a wood floor's finish. Location, traffic patterns, how often the floor is vacuumed and cleaned, children and/or pets are all factors that influence wear and durability.
Thank you for your inquiry.Answered on 2/5/2013 by cc-2
Q:
Hello,
Are these planks pre-finished all over (ends, sides, bottom) or just the top? I ask this to understand if, upon installation, a final finish over the installed floor to seal the cracks/joints to mitigate liquid getting into the joints and under the planks is appropriate. I noticed in one other Q/A, it was not recommended to put a finish over the top of the installed floor which means the joints will not be sealed and if pets or other liquid (tracked snow, spilled water) gets on the floor, it will seep into the cracks/joints. Would a felt underlayment to soak up the liquid be better than a waterproof one that will hold the water against the underside of the planks (again, are they finished/seald all over or just on top)? My application will be about 1,000 SF on the second floor over a full heated/finished basement.Asked on 12/6/2012 by Britton from Conifer, CO1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
The top is finished with 7 coats of Treffert or Klumpp (made in Germany) highly resistant polyurethane finish with aluminum oxide anti-scratch and a 55% gloss. The rest is raw wood as it should be so the flooring can breath. Prefinished hardwood, bamboo, engineered, and laminate flooring should not be sealed after installation and does void the warranty. Sealing between boards (seams) will crack during normal expansion and contraction. In addition sealer won't adhere to original finish unless it's lightly sanded (Not Laminate) and then use a water based flooring grade urethane. Or you would use a Bona Kemi prefinished floor resealing product. Www.bonakemi.com. However this is not recommended for pre-finished flooring unless it is worn and in need of refinishing.
If you happen to spill water on your floor, clean it up as quickly as possible. Use area rugs where necessary. If massive amounts of water leak out onto the floor, such as a refrigirator or dishwasher that has leaked , it might damage the floor to the point where it would need to be replaced. Most homeowners insurance companies would cover the repairs needed if this were to happen.
When using area rugs, use a rug pad with a felt, plant or PVC based backing. DO NOT use area rugs with a petroleum based rubber backing (typically black) as this can cause permanent chemical staining/etching of the floor finish.Answered on 12/7/2012 by Tech & Install
Q:
I would like to install this on a concrete slab, walk out (below grade). Is the only option to use Elastion? Someone told me that I should/could use Mapei Eco 995...is this true that I can install on concrete below grade using Eco 995?
Thanks,
DaveAsked on 11/27/2012 by Dave from Scotts Valley, CA1 answer

Unfortunately solid glue down below grade is not recommended.
