Virginia Mill Works Co.- 1/2" x 5" Colonial Plank Prefinished Handscraped Engineered Flooring- 30 Year WarrantyHandcrafted plank by plank, the French bleed is done the traditional way by rubbing the stain on the plank edge. A beautiful look reproducing the working technique of the craftsmen of bygone times. Colonial American homes were built with wooden floors that were sawn using basic hand-held tools. The hand-crafted workmanship that went into those floors can be found in Virginia Millworks handscraped floors.Natural knots of up to 2" thick may be present giving this floor its beautiful and unique character.About Handscraped Flooring:Handscraped or distressed hardwood floors have a natural worn appearance. They look like floors from the days when floors were finished by hand.About Engineered: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.Don't forget the molding and stair treads!Click here to find our extensive selection of moldings & accessories for you to match wood species to your new floor.(Who else can do that?)Lumber Liquidators...

These are the most beautiful floors! The finish is perfect and they are SO easy to clean. The installer told us that they would look as beautiful in 30 years as they did they day they put them in a week ago. We are very happy with these floors and would recommend them to anyone.

Comments about Virginia Mill Works 1/2" x 5" Colonial Plank Handscraped:

THESE FLOORS TURNED OUT SOOOOO AMAZING I CAN'T EVEN BEING TO DESCRIBE HOW IT HAS TRANSFORMED OUR FAMILY ROOM. WE HAVE A NEW HOUSE AND IT CAME WITH CARPET AND THOUGH IT LOOKED NICE THE ROOM DIDN'T POP UNTIL THESE FLOORS WERE PUT IN. IT JUST MADE IT LOOK ABOUT 50K MORE EXPENSIVE. AND IF YOU HAVE LARGE HIGH WHITE BASEBOARDS THEY WILL LOOK PHENOMENAL! IT WAS EASY TO INSTALL (I WATCHED MY CONTRACTOR) AND WE FLOATED IT OVER THAT FOAM SHEET THINGY AND IT HAS A NICE SOFT FEEL TO IT. OVERALL THE PRICE CAN'T BE BEAT AND THE QUALITY IS TOP NOTCH!

Comments about Virginia Mill Works 1/2" x 5" Colonial Plank Handscraped:

My husband and I really hoped this flooring would be all that we wanted and it even surpassed that! We love it and it is so beautiful and I couldn't be happier we decided to go with this color. As long as everything else isn't so dark, it's not too dark. It looks amazing in our living room, hallway and kitchen. We did 800 sq.ft.-it took a while, but it was well worth it!! Very few pieces were unusable. Overall, a wonderful experience.

This product went down nicely and the joints were well done. The finished look is clean and beautiful with a nice darker finish to the wood. I will be installing 4 1/2" high baseboards next to finish off the project. It makes the rooms look stunning.

Comments about Virginia Mill Works 1/2" x 5" Colonial Plank Handscraped:

I was a little hesitant to order this product without seeing actual installed images from other users. I'm very happy I moved forward with the selection of this product. I'm happy to provide some images of my completed installation below. I hired a professional to do the install. I decided on the handscraped to make it easy to hide scratches and dents that will likely happen during the life of this product. I use my Roomba to keep the floor clean about every other day. It is really a stunning product. I had it layed out in a diagonal fashion in the living room and straight in both bedrooms. Total install was 835 square feet. Product quality is very good. The veneer is very thin so I wouldn't expect to be able to ever refinish this product. I installed the product of 6mm cork underlayment which was required by my condo association. I would definetly recommend this product.

Comments about Virginia Mill Works 1/2" x 5" Colonial Plank Handscraped:

I chose this floor from the online picture so I was a little unsure how it would look when we got it. I love it! It is beautiful and looks so substantial. Because it is dark, it does show dust easily, but all it takes is a pass with a dust mop.

These floors are soooo gorgeous!!! We had the floors installed, so I can't comment on that, but MAN the floors turned out GREAT!!! Had them installed in formal dining area. What a difference!! We have a 75lb golden retriever that hasn't put a mark on them...'yet!' The distressed wood gives it such a great look! LOVE the choice!!!

Comments about Virginia Mill Works 1/2" x 5" Colonial Plank Handscraped:

We put this floor down in our baby's nursery and love it! It's so beautiful, we now want this in the rest of our home. Neither of us are handy AT ALL, and we installed it ourselves. If we can do it, anyone can.

I think the wide planks and black coloring on the edges of each piece give it an authentic antique look. Plus, if you somehow do get a scratch, you can just fill in with a special black marker and it looks like part of the handscraped effect. I love that the floors don't look "new".

We are just so excited that a couple with no experience or natural ability can install a floor that looks so amazing.

Okay product

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Virginia Mill Works 1/2" x 5" Colonial Plank Handscraped:

There were too many short pieces per box. We had to focus on using them up which was undesirable since the whole point of getting the 7' long planks is to avoid too many seams.

Comments about Virginia Mill Works 1/2" x 5" Colonial Plank Handscraped:

My husband and I did solid hardwoods in our other home (bought through Lumber Liquidators also) but we decided to try the hand scraped as we really like the dark floors. Installation was a easy compared to the solid hardwoods (we chose a wider plank this time around). The only difficult part was all the cuts and corners since this was a remodel. If doing a new home, it would be a breeze. We get so many compliments regarding the floors. The only thing negative about the floors is we have a dog that is a golden retriever. His hair shows and the floor has to be swept/vacummed daily (sometimes 2 times a day). Also, I was under the impression this flooring wouldn't show crumbs, dirt, etc. It is quite the opposite but I don't mind sweeping/vaccuming to have these beautiful floors. We are so glad we purchased these!

Comments about Virginia Mill Works 1/2" x 5" Colonial Plank Handscraped:

Very good looking floors. Look like the cost twice as much as they did. I wouldnt recommend nailing or stapling flooring this wide as we did have some buckling so we pulled up about 100 sf and glued the rest down. No problems and gets tons of compliments.

Comments about Virginia Mill Works 1/2" x 5" Colonial Plank Handscraped:

THIS FLOOR IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND IT IS VERY EASY TO INSTALL. WE BOUGHT 1100 SQ.FT. AND WE STILL HAVE ABOUT 120 MORE FEET TO FINISH. WE ARE DOING IT OURSELVES AND THE MAJOR PART WAS FINISHED IN ONE WEEKEND, AND WE HAVE NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE.
WE HAVE NOT HAD ONE PIECE THAT WE HAD TO WASTE, BUT WE DON'T MIND THE LITTLE IMPERFECTIONS, THATS THE LOOK WE ARE TRYING TO ACHIEVE. BUT WE HAVE HAD NO WARPED PIECES OUT OF 23 BOXES. I'LL SEND A PICTURE WHEN WE ARE FINISHED
