About Brazilian Cherry:
Brazilian Cherry is one of our most popular woods and well known for its rich color, hardness, and durability. 
It may show a myriad of hues from golden brown to reddish brown. It is an excellent choice for both residential and commercial use. Its durability makes it perfect for high-traffic areas that call for a striking appearance.
As the color deepens with age, it becomes even more stunning and is the perfect choice for any room or space.

About Engineered Flooring:
Hardwood veneer layers are stacked on one another, with the grain of the adjacent layers oriented perpendicular to each other.
Because wood expands and contracts in the direction of the grain, one layer stabilizes the next, resulting in a product that is less susceptible to the effects of moisture & temperature change.

    Comments about Schön Engineered 3/8" x 3" Brazilian Cherry:

    I love the look of the product and the feel. Have only had it installed a few days so can't comment on the durability. We had it installed by a professional who made it look easy. Took a three man crew less than 4 hours start to finish.

    Well Milled but poor length variety

    • Too many short lengths

    Best Uses

      Comments about Schön Engineered 3/8" x 3" Brazilian Cherry:

      The product was well milled. All lengths were straight with no culling necessary. The shortest length was 2:1 over all other lengths, meaning for every longer board two of the shortest boards had to be laid. What that means to the installer is two short boards and a longer board and then two short board and another longer board OR a varitey of longer lengths and then a PILE of shortest board end to end. Schon needs to rethink its length variety ratio.

        This is the first nail down floor I have installed, it was very easy using a brad nailer and 1" nails. We removed existing carpeting and were able to nail directly to the 3/4" subfloor, using the Eco Silent underlayment. Good service and advice from our local Lumber Liquidators store.

          I'm very pleased with our decision to use Lumber Liquidators for our flooring. The Schon flooring has been easy to install, even for a beginner, and was considerably less expensive than comparable products from the big box stores. It looks great and seems to have a very durable finish.

            I do not know how this floor will hold up over time. I am one person without children and so far it looks beautiful-- easy to clean and unbelieveably shiny surface. i was at the home of a friend who had put down a different engineered hardwood in the same color their floor was dull - no shine and they complained about upkeep since all footsteps made marks. so far, i am very satisfied.

              We selected this product for it's appearence and the ease of care. This was our first time to lay hardwood flooring. While it does take time and patience, with a little research and some helpful suggestions from the folks at LL, we now have a beautiful floor in our kitchen, dinning room, hallway, living room and entry way. Thanks LL!

                Our installer likes this product and never has any complaints about installation. This is our second purchase of this same product. Initially we did the whole house (except kitchen and master.) This time we completed the master. It was scary when the floor went in because the colors hadn't "ripened" on the new boards. It was significantly/noticably different. However, it's less than a week and they're already coming together. This is a beautiful cherry flooring and great for large open/great room areas, as well as small office space (8x10.)

                    We had this floor installed professionally in December and it is beautiful! We have it in bedrooms, living and dining rooms, and a den. I have not found that is scratches easily and I do not ask guests to remove shoes. We also have a 16 lb. dog and she has not scratched it either. I did drop a hammer on it and it left a dent, but I was able to disguise the mark with the wax fill stick that comes with the Bella floor care kit. I am currently planning on doing 2 more bedrooms with this floor. The cherry does darken with light exposure so I am repositioning rugs to help it age evenly.

                      We recently installed a engineered wood floor made by a different manufacturer. The floor did nothing for the house. So we removed the other floor and put in this one. The difference is amazing. This floor is beautiful and I am so happy that we made the change. It really is upscale and makes the house look a lot more elegant. We also have 2 dogs and after three weeks have seen no scratches. Love the floor.

                          A:

                          Yes, like any hardwood flooring UV light exposure can change the shade for the beginning stage of it's time in the building. This levels out eventually. Generally light floors can turn darker and dark floors lighter. Rotating throw rugs and furniture the first year is recommended.

                          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.
                          Regarding warping; ACCLIMATION/CONDITIONING OF THE FLOORING
                          All wood products are affected by environmental conditions especially prefinished materials. Acclimate the new flooring in the areas to be installed to normal lived-in conditions while in the boxes. If products are protected in plastic open the ends of the boxes. Length of time is not the determining factor. The goal is to reach an equilibrium or moisture balance between the new flooring with its surroundings before installation. This balance could be achieved in as little as 1 to 5 days, or longer for some exotic species. For best performance, condition the flooring to consistent indoor temperatures of 60°-80° F and indoor humidity levels of 30% - 50%. Very dry or humid regions usually require extended conditioning. Recommended acclimation levels maintained even after the installation will minimize board movement, excessive squeaks and gaps. Proper jobsite conditions, acclimation and moisture testing the subfloor and new flooring and all work together for the success of the installation. This is the responsibility of those overseeing the project.

                      • Q:

                        I want to install this over concrete and have 2 small dogs and 1 Golden Retriever. The installation would include the kitchen. Is this possible and if so can this floor withstand the dog traffic and possible water drips in the kitchen. I was thinking of laminate or vinyl too. what is the best choice for me? I also must take into consideration the value of my home. I want great looking floors that will look great over time and increase the value of my home if only slightly.

                          A:

                          Engineered flooring has more stability and is recommended for higher than average humidity. Good climate control is still recommended. Care should be taken to control humidity levels to within the 35-55% range. To protect your investment and to assure that your floors provide lasting satisfaction, note recommendations below:
                          • (Dry) Heating Season - A humidifier may be needed to prevent excessive shrinkage in wood floors due to low humidity levels. Wood stoves, radiant floor heat and electric heat will create dryer conditions.
                          • (Humid, Wet) Non-Heating Season - Proper humidity levels can be maintained by use of an air conditioner or dehumidifier. Avoid excessive exposure to water during periods of inclement weather. Do not obstruct expansion joints around the perimeter of your floor.

                          Crawlspaces - To prevent moisture build-up homes with crawl spaces must have vents for proper cross-ventilation. Provide year-round air circulation with multiple vents. Venting allows damp areas to dry-out. Vents must be adequately spaced so that no dead air spaces remain. Under the home in the crawlspace use black 6-mil polyethylene sheet plastic as a moisture barrier. Completely Cover 100% of the surface of the ground to guard against excessive moisture. Overlap plastic seams 6” and duct tape

                          When installing hardwood flooring over hardwood flooring the board direction must be perpendicular to the existing floor direction or run on a diagonal. New boards run in the same direction would require additional 3/8 plywood. If you wish to run parallel add another 3/8" CDX Plywood. Plywood needs to be layed with 1/8" gaps for expansion and use ring shank nails on a 6-7 inch pattern over floor joist. Liquid Nail between is an good idea too but not completely necessary.
