Comments about Virginia Mill Works 1/2" x 5" Tobacco Road Handscraped:
We installed this flooring in our 215 sq ft living room. We used the bellawood premium underlayment and installed with a pneumatic stapler. It took us a full weekend to do, but we have never installed a floor before so take that as you may. The layer that forms the tongue runs perpendicular to the length of the boards, and was very splintery, but overall the installation was not difficult.
The product is beautiful! We chose it because the combination of the tobacco road colors and the handscraped finish is just stunning. It is very likely that we will purchase more of this flooring to do the rest of the first floor in our home.
Service and delivery comments:
We picked our flooring up at the store. Both Brandon and Kyle were very helpful and knowledgable about their products.

Beautiful floor, but it scratches very easily. Even normal dining chairs and bar stools with felt pads on the feet scratch the finish when moved, with no weight on them.

Our entire home, except bathrooms is covered with this flooring. We installed it upstairs this year after installing it downstairs in 2012. Everyone who visits comments on its beauty. We had it professionally installed and the installers commented how easy it was to put down.

Kaleb and Sabestian in Bakersfield Lumber Liquidator were most helpful from beginning to the end of the project. The professional installer, Mario Castro and his team members, did an excellent job. I would recommend them to anyone. Bravo!
Though easily scratches, Pledge orange oil takes care of it right away!!!

Comments about Virginia Mill Works 1/2" x 5" Tobacco Road Handscraped:
This floor ranges from very light streaks to very dark pieces. There is a lot of variation between each board, even the same board can be very light and very dark. We ordered 20% extra and still had to use extremely light pieces and pieces that didn't even look like the same wood. The waste pieces we did throw away had green and gray in them.
Although the brand is "Virginia Mill Works," the boxes say this flooring is made in China. We thought the quality was sub-par compared to early reviews of this product. As I recall, earlier reviewers' pictures showed a more uniform color throughout the product, as does the sample picture. Recent reviewers show accurate pictures: lots of streaks. If you would like a more uniform product color, I'd recommend another choice.
The installers also mentioned that the boxes included lots of short pieces and not enough long pieces (another cost-saving measure). Perhaps LL is using a new factory or supplier that is cutting corners.
The finished product still looks nice, thanks to a good installation job and eliminating the light streaks where possible-- just not as nice as earlier reviewers' pictures or the model picture shown above. Be prepared for the wide variation in color between boards.

Q:
We are considering putting engineered handscraped in a cabin.1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
Wood flooring is a dynamic material subject to changes in dimension as a result of changes in humidity in the surrounding environment. It is recommended that the rooms that will have refinished wood installed be climate controlled with temperatures of 50 to 80 degrees F., preferably 65 to 75 degrees F. humidity of 35% to 55% maintained. In addition, the rooms should not be closed off from a normal air flow. Therefore with prefinished flooring, you will experience problems in a non-environmentally controlled area. Our most stable flooring is our engineered, bamboo, and laminate. They too recommend climate control in their expressed warranty's.Q:
How do you clean this floor, any special cleaner1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
For general cleaning a swiffer type system works best. Not one that sprays the floor however. Lightly damp is fine but never soak or flood mop your floor. Do not use steam mops. Have a no shoes policy as much as possible. Use felt pads on all furniture. Sweep often.Q:
Hello: What is the best way to clean this type of floor? Thanks.1 answer
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.Q:
What can be done to prevent this floor from scratching?1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
All natural wood products can scratch or dent. A good finish can help but even a premium finish like this may. While our finishes are some of the best in the business they will scratch as will any. If all precautions are taken ie, "Have a no shoes policy as much as possible. Use felt pads on all furniture. Sweep often." then there isn't a problem, however when you factor in pets, shoes with debris in treads, etc., no finish will completely withstand certain stresses.Q:
