Schön Floors come in beautiful exotic and domestic species and a 30 year warranty.

Quick Highlights:
- Solid Hardwood Wear Layer
- Superior strength and Stability
- Covered by a 30 Year Warranty
- Nail, Glue Down, or Float... even on concrete floors!

This product is also a good choice for installation over radiant heat sources and below grade applications.

About Brazilian Koa:
Brazilian Koa, often called Tigerwood, is truly one of the most unique and exotic looking species used in flooring.
Brazilian Koa has a distinct dark orange color with brownish/black striping which is where it gets it's namesake. Brazilian Koa's exotic beauty and durability make it stand out from the crowd and it is an outstanding choice for the discriminating home owner looking for that unique and enviable flooring no other neighbor has.

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.

Did you know?
An estimated 60-70 million Americans are affected by house dust, which can cause itchy eyes, sneezing, rashes, breathing difficulty and sinus trouble because of trapped pollens and molds in carpets, upholstery and curtains.
Not even frequent vacuuming will eliminate those microscopic troublemakers.
Another good reason to go green with Schön Engineered Floors!

    Comments about Schön 1/2" x 5" Brazilian Koa Engineered:

    This wood is installed in the entire downstairs of our home. Because it is engineered wood, must be careful not to let water sit on it. I have solved this problem by putting runners in the kitchen below the sink and dishwasher.
    Love, love, love the variation of colors in this product. Almost reminds me of "reclaimed wood". Have put felt fabric on the bottom of chairs, tables, etc. to keep from scratching the floors (can buy this at Costco). However because of the color variations, scratches won't be as noticeable.

    Service and delivery comments:

    Delivery was prompt and product arrived in good condition.

    The only problem I had with customer service was they wanted us to buy their glue (an additional $3,000 for 1500 square foot). I got the wood during a sale so realized they were making up for the cost of the wood by charging way too much for the glue. I was told that the warranty would not apply if I didn't use this specific glue. After researching this I found that lumber liquidators doesn't warrany the wood but the manufacturer does. So, I used a professional installer who supplied the glue at a much cheaper cost.

        Comments about Schön 1/2" x 5" Brazilian Koa Engineered:

        This is my 3rd flooring purchase from LL. Everything I have boaght from them has met my expectations, and has held up well over the years. The only place you need to go if you want a wood floor.

        Service and delivery comments:

        First of all, I love the fact that LL doesn't do any high-pressure upselling. You can choose whatever you want, and you won't be made to feel bad if you choose the less expensive product.
        On my first two purchases, I did the install myself (no sweat - they provide all the guidance you need). On this purchase, I used the LL-affiliated installers. They came when they said they would, did a meticulous job, and I'm a happy camper.

              Used this product on a concrete slab, so we had to use glue. It was a messy job, but beautiful and very solid when we finished. Variation of colors in the wood are gorgeous. Haven't had long enough to judge its endurance.

                Installed in finished basement on concrete with new mapae overlay subfloor. Installers seemed to find it a little difficult to install due to not perfectly level floor and wide, tight planks. But they made it work, and it looks great! The wide 5" board relates well to the rest of the house, which is old wide pine plank floors.

                  We placed this in all rooms except 1bedroom and bathrooms/laundry. It is absolutely beautiful, and everyone loves it! We love the feel and the look. We have dented it a few times ( dropped heavy items, hammer...etc) but I run a stain pen over the area and you can't even find the dent again, without really searching. It is wood, and we expect a few dents and dings, but we are not going to sweat it. We have a terrier and he has not scratched finish yet. We would definitely purchase again. Had it installed professionally, they approved installer did a job! Very pleased.

                    It states that it can be used in bathrooms... but can it really hold up in bathrooms? If it can, can the quick click do the same thing?

                      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.

                  • Q:

                    I was told by a LL sales associate that the brazilian koa has an aluminum oxide surface, and that all cleaners are not compatible with this surface. Can you tell me what kind of cleaners to avoid? And what kind of cleaners are compatible with the Al Oxide surface (other than your in-store brand)?

                    I did not see anything on the spec sheet online about the Al Oxide finish and the recommendations.

                    thanks....

                      A:

                      We can only recommend our Bellawood Floor Cleaner, or cleaners that are safe for water based urethane finishes. Never use any polish, wax, oil soaps or cleaners that add shine to the floor. In addition, we do not recommend using steamers or wet-jet cleaning systems for hardwood because spraying can collect moisture in between board edges. The use of these products is at your own risk.

                    What is an AC rating

                      A:

                      What is an AC rating?
                      The common term used to denote the durability level of laminate flooring is its, Abrasion Criteria or “AC” rating. AC ratings are an abbreviated representation of a laminate’s overlay film resistance to abrasion, impact, stains and cigarette burns. The ratings also indicate that the product has been tested for the effects of furniture legs, castors, and swelling along its edges. When a laminate flooring product has a rating, then it has passed all of the test criteria. Failing just one test will disqualify a product.
                      The AC rating levels are designated AC1 through AC5. Each is represented by international pictographs reflecting the product’s application and durability. The primary application is divided into two groups: residential and commercial. Each group is further divided into traffic intensity levels: moderate, general, or heavy. An AC1 rating which is the lowest should only be used in light-traffic area’s. At the other end of the scale is AC5 which is produced for the commercial market and for use in very high-traffic area’s. A laminate flooring rating of AC2 or AC3 is found on flooring tailored to the domestic and residential market. As can be seen, Laminate ratings are beneficial to customers for product comparison shopping. If you are tempted by some very cheap laminate flooring, be cautious, you may find that it hasn't received any type of AC rating indicating it failed to meet the minimum requirements. During product testing, if it fails on just one single test, then approval for that laminate flooring rating is denied. For residential use, a rating of AC3 is perfectly adequate. Typically the higher the laminate flooring rating, the higher the price may be. The test devised for abrasion resistance. Thank you for your inquiry.

                    I have installed this flooring in my home and am at a point where more than sweeping is required. All my online research gives a big thumbs down to steam cleaning. What do you recommend for a deep clean of this flooring?

                      We do not recommend steam mops or Roomba Scooba robots on our laminates or on any of our wood floor products. Although appropriate for kitchen sheet vinyl or ceramic tiles, wood, laminate and cork floorings have raw seam edges that can swell or cup with use of these cleaning methods. We recommend our Bellawood Floor Cleaner, or cleaners that are safe for water based urethane finishes. Thank you for your inquiry.
