What makes Bellawood so Unique? We carefully hand select each species from regions across the globe that are known to produce denser woods and that exemplify the species' finest qualities. That's why we say, "It's more than hardwood. It's Bellawood." One of the most dense and durable species available, Brazilian Redwood distinguishes itself with a breathtaking blend of deep reds and golden browns. Its exquisite grain is mostly straight with an occasional and dramatic wavy pattern on select boards. The advantages of Brazilian Redwood are simple. Its durability lets you live life. But its beauty lets you live life luxuriously. About "Select Grade" Flooring Crafted to a Higher Standard. Every board is milled to precise specifications to ensure ease of install and topped with our industry-leading scratch-resistant finish. In fact, quality control engineers walk over 12 miles a day inspecting each board, before and after the finishing process.

Comments about BELLAWOOD 5/16" x 2-1/4" Select Brazilian Redwood:
This floor is absolutely gorgeous. We ordered 16 boxes and so far have installed 8 boxes. We have removed carpet and ceramic tile to install in living room, main hallway, kitchen, dining and foyer. So far we have had less than the 5% waste allowed but have had a few milling issues and damaged corners. Not bad though. We are using the Norge 4 in 1 flooring stapler to install. I was told to use 1 1/4" staples but tried them and most of them wouldn't go through the redwood. Switched to 1" staples and they do great. I would highly recommend using a stand up nailer over the hand stapler. It is a great tool but you do the whole install on your knees making it slow and painful. With that said I would choose this same floor again and will install in master bedroom and laundry room for our next project. Everyone that has seen the floor so far loves it. I love the color variation and it has a beautiful shine to it. Very pleased with Bellawood and Lumber Liquidators.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about BELLAWOOD 5/16" x 2-1/4" Select Brazilian Redwood:
The floor looks great, especially migrating from a 10 year old carpet. It's pretty scratch resistant. I have 2 kids who are really active :). The wastage was minimal during installation and thanks to my contractor, who did an excellent job installing even though it was a challenge. I a, on a slab, so had to glue it down.
The LL store was extremely helpful as well....if you happen o be in Charlotte, talk to Matt in the store. Very knowledgable and guides you properly.
Great value for money and turns the house to a high value house instantly!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Not real good, chose it myself based on online reviews, ended up returning and using Golden Acacia - Casa De Color 3/4". Took a small bath on the opened boxes, but whatever, much happier with the 3/4" product.
Service and delivery comments:
Patrick at the Matthews, NC store is great and really cares about the customer.

While the product is beautiful, it required a lot of trimming as the width was not uniform. Extra time and resulting cost overrun for installation.

I used the flooring in my dining room and living room. For the most part, I'm satisfied with the product. It is a cheap and easy way to get hardwood in the house, though having installed it myself, some of pieces could fit together a little better. The color has some really good looking pieces, but also some that aren't as great, so overall, an average grade. Bottom line, if I ever tackle installing hardwood again, I think I will look for a higher grade.

Q:
How many boxes would1 answer
A:
8 boxes will do this room.Q:
It was recommended to me to use staples . I see in one of the answers you do not recommend staples but a cleat nail method. Who make this 20 ga. cleat nailer? I do not want to have a lot of split pieces if the the staple will do that. I have the 5/16 x 2.25 Brazilian redwood.1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
Brazilian Redwood is 141% harder than Red Oak. Many installers gluedown a hard, thin floor such as this to avoid nailing issues. However this is not always necessary.Q:
How is this wood obtained? I love the look, but don't want to destroy old growth rainforests. Is this wood obtained from second growth logging and is it certified by the Forest Stewardship Council?1 answer
A:
Lumber Liquidators is committed to responsible business practices as a central operating philosophy of our company. To that end, our lumber sourcing complies with U.S. laws and regulations including the Lacey Act, which prohibits the illegal trade of wildlife, fish, and plants, including lumber.Q:
My flooring was bought as an odd lot and some of the flooring is about a 32nd of an inch different in width. It is causing my flooring to have gaps in the horizontal joints. What can I do to correct or solve this problem. I am glueing it down.1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
For odd-lots to work, you generally need to cull out any unacceptable boards as they will by nature have varying characteristics. Waste can be over 30%.Q:
I clean my bellawood with Bona which is supposed to be for this type floor, however it has now got a film on it and I can't seem to get it off. I have tried just using water but still the film remains. Any help would be appreciated. thanks1 answer
A:
I would recommend calling Bona's 1-800 # for there assistance.Q:
can you put this floor over radiant heat?1 answer
A:
Brazilian Redwood could work over radiant heat if the flooring is properly acclimated, properly installed, and home is kept at a consistent temperature and humidity levels. When humidity gets below 30% a humidifier would be needed to raise humidity levels.The surface of the subfloor should not exceed 85 degrees. Engineered and laminate flooring are better choices to use over radiant heat in floor heating.Q:
why so thin? We are looking at 3/4" hardwood, is this comparable?1 answer
A:
These low profile floors are designed for several reasons. If you have an existing floor you want to keep level and 3/4" is too thick, then a 3/8" or 5/16 may be ideal.Q:
Can I use a steam mop on this product?1 answer
A:
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.Q:
can 5/16 brazilian redwood be used in our small lesser used upstairs bathroom ?1 answer
A:
Yes it can. With proper installation and care this flooring will last for years in this application. You can find complete care and installation instructions on the product page by clicking on the specs tab and then clicking on - Installation Guide.pdf Thank you for your question.Q:
i live in a second floor unit, what underlayment would you prefer to increase sound proofing since this is a thinner type of wood?1 answer
A:
I would suggest using the Eco Silent Sound HD underlayment to increase sound proofing. With this underlayment you can do a nail down installation with 5/16" flooring or a glue down installation. To get the max sound proofing a glue down installation would be better. Nailing into a underlayment will decrease its sound proofing ability. |
