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:
We installed about 650 feet in our Living Room, Dining Room, and Hallway. The wood is just flat our gorgeous. If you want a uniform looking floor with the same dominant color and long planks, this isn't the floor for you. The wood has a ton of variations in color and grain. No 2 pieces look alike.
We have 2 large labs that run up and down the hall. They are learning to slow down, but they do run. We were worried about scratches, but honestly, we know there are going to be some. To our surprise though, the dogs have not done much. You can probably find scratches, but they are very, very light and you cannot see them without really looking for them.
We had some of it professionally installed, but then we did the rest ourselves. I've never installed a nail down floor before, but it was really easy. We were just worried about getting it started right. We did have some tongue splitting, but nothing that was horrible. I was hoping to use staples, but LL recommended that we use cleats so we did (18 gauge).
We had carpet before, and everyone that comes to our house now just goes nuts about how much better our house looks that it did before.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This is the most beautiful flooring. It is the first thing everyone notices when they come in the house. Its very durable. The color goes with everything. I put it in my living room, kitchen, office and dining room. At some point I would like to continue it in my bedrooms also. I had it professionally installed as a nail down. Love it!

Comments about Casa de Colour 3/4" x 3-5/8" Tobacco Road Acacia:
The flooring is beautiful. I did have it professionally installed and love the results. I replaced a dark tile floor with this in my foyer and powder room. I put it next to other med dark wood floors and everyone says how great it compliments that. I plan to have my other floors refinished to a lighter color so I wanted something that would keep these rooms segragated, but still match.

Q:
I know dogs are hard on hardwood. We currently have pergo installed currently and no matter how fast you wipe a spill the flooring mushrooms up. I have a dog and I have family that visits with 2 dogs. I'm wondering how this will stand up over time. I'm really like this look. also are all the planks relatively short? Also are there anti bacterial or anti microbial underlayment for hardwood?Asked on 12/30/2013 by T.bone from Roseville, CA1 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 factors that influence wear and durability. Yes we do offer anti microbial underlayments such as Bellawood Premium and Eco Silent Sound HD.
Thank you for your inquiry.Answered on 1/1/2014 by cc-3
Q:
If I wear heels on this floor, will it dent?Asked on 9/18/2013 by GatorKate from United States1 answer
A:
High heels or spiked heels are damaging to hardwood flooring. They strike the floor with more force per inch than an elephant's foot. High or spiked heels in disrepair are especially harmful, as the heel acts much like a tiny hammer pounding away at the floor with as much force as 10,000 pounds per inch!

Q:

Q:
Can this material be used over in-joist radiant heat (tubes are mounted under the subfloor with aluminum channels, subfloor is 3/4 Advantech)? I'm concerned about the stability at this width.Asked on 10/28/2012 by Gregory1 answer
A:
Radiant Heat
Solid flooring should not be installed over radiant in-floor heat systems due to finish and stability issues.
Even solid species with better dimensional stability characteristics cannot predictably be guaranteed to perform over radiant heat floors.
Most of our products are plane sawn which results in dimensional change in the width direction
However, all our floating floors (not attached to the subfloor) as they are most recommended for this application.Answered on 10/31/2012 by cc-2
Q:
I would like to use this but have read about it scratching easily. Can I put a floor sealer or other product on top of the pre finished product. Is there something you would recommend??Asked on 10/13/2012 by Bob the Builder from Lafayette,CO1 answer
A:
You could reseal prefinished flooring after it is installed, but this would void the finish warranty on the flooring and create extra expense for you after already buying a new floor with a 20, 30, or 50yr finish warranty. Adding a new finish won’t prevent all moisture from going into the seams. Wood will expand and contract with climate changes. If the flooring were to contract later and create seasonal gapping, a spill can cause water to get into the gaps. It is best to only add a new finish when the old finish starts to wear more than you like or if you have a lot of scratches you want covered up. We recommend that you use a professional sand and finish expert if you did decide to add a new finish to the flooring. Thank you for your inquiry.Answered on 10/19/2012 by cc-2
