We had gone to several stores looking at hardwood flooring but no one except Lumber Liquidators sold Tobacco Road Acacia. which we fell in love with. We especially liked Lumber Liquidators showroom display as you actually have different hardwood floors installed in your showroom so we were able to get a very good idea how the floor would look in our home. All the other stores have just a small piece of the floor on a wall. We purchased TOBACCO ROAD ACACIA hardwood flooring for our master bedroom. We previously had berber carpeting and with a dog, it was very difficult to keep the carpet clean. We installed the hardwood flooring ourselves in one day and are thrilled with the results. We came back and ordered the floor vents and our bedroom is gorgeous and much healthier without that carpet. Attached is a before and after picture. We would highly recommend Lumber Liquidators to anyone. You had the best selection and the best prices! Paula & Tom B |

Comments about Casa de Colour 3/4" x 3-5/8" Tobacco Road Acacia:
Flooring is beautiful. Get lots of good comments from friends! Wish the planks were longer. Holding up pretty well with a large dog. The "Professional" installer hired through L.L. was terrible. Gaps along the wall, didn't clean up or haul any of his trash . . .
Very disappointed. Ended up doing some of it myself anyway.

Comments about Casa de Colour 3/4" x 3-5/8" Tobacco Road Acacia:
PROS: Flooring has nice mix of colors and grains
CONS: The lengths were advertised as mostly 3' 4' and 5' lengths with a few 1' and 6' pieces in each box. In actuality; mostly 2' with a few 1' and 3' pieces. Zero 4', 5', or 6' pieces in 36 boxes. Installer wasn't happy with having all short pieces to install. Especially if you have a long run.

Comments about Casa de Colour 3/4" x 3-5/8" Tobacco Road Acacia:
I had meant to write a review after we initially installed this flooring but it may have more impact now 1.5 years after the installation. The floor looks great across our entire first floor and has held up quite well with 2 children under 5 and a large dog. The floors will get scratches and you will notice them when you are looking at them from within 3 feet of the floor. However, you don't notice any scratches while standing and walking through the space. We mop the floor every two weeks with Murphy's Oil Soap and it has kept the flooring in good shape.
Service and delivery comments:
Delivery was very good but the install was a challenge because the wood is relatively high on the Janka scale. We repeatedly had to have back blades for the saws ready.

Comments about Casa de Colour 3/4" x 3-5/8" Tobacco Road Acacia:
The manufacture indicates that each box is factored to contain 20% defects, but in actuality it's much higher. I was left with a pile of defects, and even still am finding some that I installed and didn't notice them during the installation. I found splits and knot holes on the underside, while the top was fine. It was very noticeable that defects and cracks on the top were filled with wood filler but not stained to match the particular piece before the finish was applied. I also tried to use the defected boards along the edges of the room or when I had to rip a piece and could discard the bad section.
I've installed both thick laminate and real wood floors in my house. The thick laminate I installed ( a couple of years ago), has no markings or defects. My new floor has been in for less than a few weeks and already has scratches from dragging a Rubbermaid tote across it. Mind you, you cannot see the scratches from a standing position, but they are noticeable up close.
I spent over 4k on this job. For the money and durability, I think going with laminate is the better decision.
Service and delivery comments:
Lumber liquidator was great. I will always buy my floors from them.

Q:
how thick is the working layer on this product?Asked on 8/8/2016 by mrs_SD1 answer
A:
This is not a "veneered" product, it is a solid 3/4" hardwood.
If you are referring to the height above the tongue it is less than 1/4" due to distressed/hand scraped feature.
Thank you for your inquiry.Answered on 8/9/2016 by cc-2
Q:
Hi, I need to repair a gash in my floor, and am confident that I can match the color, but wonder what type of final finish this floor has please so that I can poly seal? Satin? Matte? Thanks in advance.Asked on 11/20/2015 by Dave from Charleston, WV1 answer
A:
This flooring has a finish gloss that is in between a satin & semi-gloss.
I would recommend bringing a scrap piece of the flooring to paint store and they should be able to match the gloss for you. Thank you for your inquiry.Answered on 11/21/2015 by cc-2
Q:
What is the floor care process after it is installed?Asked on 5/7/2015 by Mike from Dallas, Texas1 answer
A:
Cleaning and Maintenance
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.
Thank you for your inquiry.Answered on 5/7/2015 by cc-2
Q:
Does this product need to be finished once it is installed?Asked on 4/25/2015 by Mike from Chelmsford, MA1 answer

Q:
Can you tell me in detail about the finish of this product? I have read a previous response that states that there are 7 layers of finish. I am most interested in the aluminum component of the finish, and whether it is underneath the polyurethane coating, or if it is mixed throughout the polyurethane. I have small children that are chemically sensitive, and I need to know that the aluminum is not going to absorb through their skin. I am ok with polyurethane.Asked on 4/23/2015 by Carrie from Morgantown, WV1 answer
A:
Based on the manufacturing specifications: this product contains aluminum oxide in underlying layers only. The top coat does not contain any aluminum oxide. Aluminum oxide is chemically bound in the cured finish.

Q:
Can you install this floor over an existing hardwood floor?Asked on 6/30/2014 by Mick1 answer
A:
Yes, as per NWFA Installation Guidelines:
National Wood Flooring Association ©2007 l Revised 05.2012
Chapter 10
Installation Over Existing Floors
Part I
Existing Floor Requirements
A. Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for installation over existing flooring.
B. Glue‐down parquet applications that require the use of PVA adhesives are not recommended over existing
sheet vinyl or vinyl and cork tile flooring unless an underlayment is put down first. Underlayment should be in
accordance with adhesive and/or flooring manufacturer’s recommendations.
C. Particleboard is not generally an acceptable underlayment, because it lacks stability. Some manufacturers
approve particleboard as an acceptable underlayment, as they do not warrant against subfloor movement. In
such cases, follow manufacturer’s recommendation.
D. Other types of adhesives may require the use of a primer or vinyl blocker when installing over sheet vinyl or
vinyl and cork tile flooring. Follow adhesive manufacturer’s recommendations.
E. Nail‐down applications may be successful over existing sheet vinyl or vinyl tile if fastener penetration is not
significantly diminished and the subfloor meets minimum requirements. Fasteners must penetrate a proper
subfloor by at least 5/8”.
F. Wood flooring can be installed over existing ceramic tile, terrazzo, or marble with proper underlayment or
adhesives only on manufacturer's recommendation.
G. Installing wood flooring over an existing wood floor.
Caution: Do not sand any surfaces containing lead based finishes/paints or asbestos. Check applicable local
and federal EPA and OSHA regulations. For buildings built in 1978 and earlier, contact the EPA for lead based
testing prior to any sanding (www.epa.gov).
1. If safe to do so (see caution above), sand off old finish and or high spots and prep to clean, dry, sound and
flat. Repair, renail or replace loose flooring products as needed.
2. Over an existing glue‐down floor, glue direct to the existing floor. Or, if the thickness of the floor will allow
it, staple to the existing floor. Check with the flooring manufacturer for recommendations.
3. When installing new wood flooring parallel to an existing solid nail‐down floor, add a minimum of 3/8”
plywood underlayment over the existing floor to increase stability. Check with the flooring manufacturer
for recommendations.
4. When installing new wood flooring at a 45‐degree to 90‐degree angle to an existing solid nail‐down floor,
additional underlayment may not be required.Answered on 7/1/2014 by cc-2
Q:
What are the dimensions of the box?Asked on 2/19/2014 by Nickname1 answer
A:
This product question would be better answered by our Sales Department, they are more familiar with all of our flooring products and can better assist you with your questions.
Please call our Sales Dept. @ (800) 476-0007. Thank you for your inquiry.Answered on 2/20/2014 by cc-3
