Need help identifying what kind of wood flooring this is

6 years ago

Hi,

Can anyone help identify what kind of flooring this is? I was thinking this was a high gloss brazillian cherry laminate flooring from home depot (link below); however I can't be sure as they do not have a sample in the store.

that's a good guess, but only a guess. if you want to install more, you need to be sure the samples actually match -- either get a sample sent to you, or involve a professional.

It does look like brazilian cherry, or some other type of exotic species. If you have heat registers in your floor, pull one up to look at the profile. You should able to tell if it is engineered, laminate, or solid wood. Solid will be one piece of material all the way through, engineered has a multi-ply core, with a layer of hardwood veneer on top, and laminate will have an mdf core with a picture of wood on the top.

Just from looking at the picture, I would guess it's either engineered or solid. It doesn't seem to have a repetitive pattern that you'd typically see in an engineered product. If it's a solid product, it is definitely prefinished, as opposed to site finished.

The piece perpendicular to the rest of the floor looks like oak with a dark reddish stain to coordinate with the other material.

I like the concrete bloc walls. They are becoming quite fashionable today. I'd keep them in the natural concrete color or if they have been painted, a color paint that resembles concrete. The concrete walls give a hard and cold impression so I'd choose wood flooring for the floors. The combination of a warm wood on the floor and hard, cold concrete on the walls is a nice one. Brighten the space with colorful modern art.

Cannot see photos very well. Looks like a wood floor, wood table, beige walls, beige drapes,white cabinets, white counter top, black bar stools and black chairs (some fabric and some black wood).. Cannot see chairs well enough to make suggestions. Cannot see blinds nor "slats" well enough to make suggestions. A white ceiling might make it seem higher. Tulip art is colorful and fun, I'd hang it in the entry or living room.

I agree with you the pillars are unfortunate. The replacement tiles will stand out no matter how close they come to matching so you're better off making sure they are clearly different so the gray one is better. Putting busy mosaic tiles could look nice but will interrupt the flow between rooms which I'm guessing is your problem with the columns in the first place. You will need to create a dextrous solution to tying into the 2x4 wall on the left side but I think it can be done tastefully- maybe beveling it back once you get past he end of that wall.

A nice whitewash wall/paint treatment would brighten it up if done in a light color. Or I would paint it but not sure if all the knots will bleed through? If so then I would use an oil base Kilz to stop bleed through and paint it depending on the interior design I want for each room. I would not paint the ceiling for a more Montana look,
