Unsurpassed Beauty, Generation after Generation. Each Bellawood Prefinished Hardwood floor now comes with a Certified 100 Year Transferable Warranty. Sure, we know few people stay in their home for a century. But isn't nice to see a company so confident in their flooring's finish they're willing to guarantee it for that long? Brazilian Chestnut is one of the hardest and most durable woods on the market. This wood's strength is coupled with beautiful chocolate tones and exceedingly fine graining. It also exhibits a vast range of rich color variations from a lighter understated brown to sultry deep brown hues. This unique blend of coloring has made the floor a top choice among discriminating home owners. This flooring fills any room with an unrivaled warmth and elegance.

Comments about BELLAWOOD 5/16" x 2-1/4" Select Brazilian Chestnut:
We installed this floor in our living room, and it is just beautiful. It is the nicest floor we have ever owned. Be sure to get the Bellawood hardwood cleaning kit for $25, It is worth every cent. It is so easy to clean and just looks beautiful.
Service and delivery comments:
We didn't have this delivered, Jimmy at the Pensacola, Florida store is awesome. we had picked out something else (no where near as nice}, and Jimmy said he had some bellawood in the odd lots with the amount of footage that we needed. It was $1 dollar a foot cheaper than what we were going to buy. I waited for so long to get my floor and never thought we could afford Bellawood. I love it. Thanks Jimmy for paying attention to customers needs.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about BELLAWOOD 5/16" x 2-1/4" Select Brazilian Chestnut:
My roommate and a professional carpenter installed about 350 sq ft of this flooring in my living room. I love the various shades of color and grains in this wood- it's beautiful, like a piece of art! I ordered 9 boxes of wood. Some boxes had mostly 7 ft boards, whereas other boxes had mostly medium and short pieces, so we emptied out all boxes and sorted to make sure we had enough long boards to take us to the last row and put in more short boards where furniture would be placed. It would have been easier to arrange if we had more 5-6 fit lengths. We used a pneumatic Porta-Nailer 461, made for 5/16" to 1/2" wood, which shot hairpin shaped 1" long 18 gauge 1/4" wide staples into the tongues of the wood perfectly so the tongues and grooves wood fit together nicely without any problem. I had to get 5/16" flooring to go with the rest of the hardwood in the house...wish I could afford to replace the rest of the floors with this product....I love it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Q:
Can this flooring be glued down in a slab installation?1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
Yes. All 1/2" and under Solid Hardwood (and certain Virginia Mill Works and 3/4" shorts 36" and shorter) can be glued as well but On or Above Grade only. Troweled on Moisture Barrier is recommended on concrete. Always use the same manufacturer of moisture barrier and adhesive or combo type adhesive moisture barrier.Q:
We like this wood but I think we'd prefer the 3/4" x 3 1/4" version. What are the advantages of getting the thicker edition of this [or any] wood flooring?1 answer
A:
Usually the lower profiles are used for applications when the height of finished floor and cost are considered. The thicker 3/4" products are of course going to last longer in the long run because they can be re-finished more times.Q:
how well does this product hold up in the kitchen, i.e., spills, etc.?1 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 factor that influence wear.Q:
I bought the 5/16" X 2 1/4" Brazilian Chestnut. Another reviewer for the 3/8" X 3" Brazilian Chestnut used the Elastilon underlayment product and found the installation to be very easy. Could we use Elastilon with the 5/16" product, and if so, would we still need to nail every board?1 answer
A:
You can use Elastilon with thin 5/16" flooring but you must first make sure that the subfloor is very flat. When using Elastilon you can not use any nails to fasten the planks down. If you would like to nail down this product you can try a 20 gage model 200 nail gun made from Powernail using 20 gage 1" long cleat nails. Use # 15 felt paper under the flooring when nailing over a wood subfloor. Top nailing would only be done on the first and last rows being installed using 15 or 16 gage finish nails or pre-drill and hand nail using a 3d finish nail. Use the link below to find installation instructions.Q:
How much does the vapor barrier adheisive cost and how much quantity would be needed for a typical 500 square foot area.1 answer
A:
It will depend on which adhesive product you will be using (Mapei or Bostik, one or two part) and that will depend on the moisture content of the subfloor.Q:
how does this particular product hold up with small dogs and rapairing possible scratches? what is the best species of wood for this?1 answer
A:
You have already picked one of our hardest wood species with the best finish warranty in the industry (I'd stick with it!)Q:
CAN I GLUE THIS ON TILE1 answer
A:
Yes this can be glued down to a well bonded properly prepared tile floor using the appropriate adhesive and moisture barrier as required.Q:
In the past I have installed 3/4" oak flooring with nails. This flooring is only 5/16" thick and 140% harder than oak. Are there any problem associated with a thiner harder floor, such as spliting or a more dificult installation? Which would you recommend nailing or stapling?1 answer
A:
[EXOTIC WOOD NAILING TIPS]:Q:
How many times can the 5/16" thick solid wood be sanded and refinished? The website says 3/8" can be sanded and finished multiple times.1 answer
A:
Once, maybe twice, depending on the person doing the job. It can be screened & re-coated several times.Q:
Is there a V-groove on the seam between the two boards: If so, how severe?1 answer
A:
Our Bellawood has a micro-bevel which makes for a very small V-groove. |
