Comments about R.L. Colston 3/4" x 2 1/4" Maple Flooring:
Wanted an unfinished hardwood floor product with good color variation and would be very flat and seamless. Right choice. Only issue I had was when I had to turn the tounge direction the other way to nail. I ripped a maple tounge and placed it between two grooves and the rest went in with no issues.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about R.L. Colston 3/4" x 2 1/4" Maple Flooring:
Wife and I were looking for an alternative to a butcher block counter top for a kitchen island. Did a little research and found that this material would make a great counter top, even though it's not going to look exactly traditional. Boards are wider than what would be typically used, unless you had routers and made your own tong and grove. But hands down the most economical lumber compared to anywhere else. Some sanding was needed because there was some variation in the boards; some of the boards had rough surfaces these I just cut around.

I put in 1000 sqft of this economical Maple floor. There's a variety of grains in it, but there was no bad parts. I had no waste. I'd definitely use this again.

Comments about R.L. Colston 3/4" x 2 1/4" Maple Flooring:
I used this product to build the top of my kitchen island and table. The color variation is beautiful and the hard maple is very durable. I put it on 3/4" plywood and it doesn't flex at all.
To seal it I used a btucher block oil. It is safe for food prep, looks amazing, and gives warmth to a tramsitional kitchen. It goes well with the Uba Tuba granite on the counters, and the Multi colored slate on the floors. Excellent product!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I was remodeling two adjoining rooms in a house 150 years old. One was carpeted and the other had a dark stain. Pulled the carpet to find a coat if paint. Some if these boards were chipped, split or otherwise damaged. I replaced a third of the room with this rustic maple flooring. It had just enough of the heart wood I need to match up perfectly. I used an oil finish to bring out the richness in the wood.

Flooring Grade waterbased urethane can be used for hardwood flooring. Oil based floor finishes and natural penetrating oils like Waterlox are available also. Waterlox is a good natural penetrating sealer you could consider that can be more forgiving to apply and reapply. .Q:

Full sanding is required for this unfinished flooring and is recommended to be done by a professional sand and finish expert.Q:

Would like to put down a wood floor for an elementary school. The gym floor that is currently there is a lineoleum tile floor, some tiles are coming up. How would this floor best be installed. It will be used for all gym, sporting events, especially basketball & volleyball. How do we also have to finish it, what needs to be done ( i.e. poly... how many coats)1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
Rustic grade is not recommended for a large job like a gymnasium, too much waste. Select or natural grades will work, select being the best. For large installations you need additional expansion gaps besides around the perimeter. Search "Do I need expansion joints in the center of my hardwood installation" here for details - http://www.lumberliquidators.com/custserv/aboutus.jsp?pageName=Flooring101Q:
Is this flooring suitable for painting? We would like to install a wood floor in our cottage and want to paint it.1 answer
A:
Yes this product can be painted with a good floor paint.Q:
What is the length of the flooring/box? I want to pick up the flooring myself and not sure it will fit in my SUV.1 answer
A:
The boxes are about 6.5" wide x 3' long x 2.5" thick.Q:
I would like to use for a basketball floor over reasonably level concrete floor. Should I put down 1x6 pine sleepers fastened to the concrete and then nail the new maple to the sleepers? Or what is your recommendation? Total finish height cannot exceed 1 and a quarter inches.1 answer
A:
I would suggest a floating plywood system with a layer of 6 mm cork underlayment under the plywood. First the concrete would be covered with 6 mil poly sheeting as a moisture barrier. Next, 6 mm cork underlayment would be installed by butting the seams and taping them together. Next, a layer of 1/2" plywood would go over the cork. Another layer of 1/2" plywood will be installed at a 45 degree angle to the first layer and screwed together. Last #15 felt paper will be installed over the plywood, and then the flooring is installed using 1 1/2" cleat nails. |
