clickboard VS hardwoods

09-28-2004, 10:00 PM

deciding now on new flooring for the house.

clickboard is WAY cheaper - MUCH better warrenty - looks great - and is way moire durable and stronger and will move with an older house when it moves.

hardwood is hardwood - much more expensive but it IS hardwood......

which would you do? functional or the more expensive hardwood option?

(hardwood is cheaper in new construction then putting it into an older house like this I'm told for underlay reasons)

This dog, is dog, a dog, good dog, way dog, to dog, keep dog, an dog, idiot dog, busy dog, for dog, 20 dog, seconds dog!

Now read without the word dog.

Hardwoods but it depends on the price of your house. If it is under 200k I guess clickboards would fly. But who wants to buy a house for more and not have hardwood. Keep in mind hardwoods can be redone resanded and you are set. With clickboards you cannot do anything and warranty will just cover the piece that got fucked up.

Hardwood is way better - increases value of the house. I do it myself and use the traditional 3/4" red oak, UNFINISHED. You then have to have an expert sand and poly it but its absolutely beautiful and will last hundreds of years.

The other floors are all just pictures of wood, crap, crap, crap.

Prefinished hardwook is ok, but just not the same. There are grooves between the boards and crap falls in and lives there.

Then I'd say it depends on what you want to achieve in the process. If you're looking for something very traditional that will last for awhile but have associated maintenance costs and time, then hardwood probably would work well.

If you want to do something different in looks and are looking for something effortless to maintain, then the laminate is great.

Another factor should be the humidity in the area where you are doing the install. Solid woods do not handle humidity in the same way as cored or composite woods do.

A common misconception in both building products and other related areas like furniture is that solid wood is always the best material for every job. Not so. It's possible to shape and construct non-linear pieces with composites that you simply cannot do easily if at all with solid woods, and in many cases the structural integrity of composites is better than with solids.

But anyway, I'm rambling.

any takers?

Actually I sold the shit for five years and she is right on the mark

Composites are a great idea and a good compromise between a true hardwood and a laminate. A composite floor has several layers of wood with the top being prob 1/4 inch of your finished wood and they will move much better, as opposed to laminates which basically have a picture of real wood on top.

This is true. I made a good living selling Pergo amongst others and like was said earlier, it continues to be extremely popular because of its functionality, price and warranties.

However there are some really good pre-finished real wood products out there. I had a manufacturers rep from Award scratch his keys for 30 seconds on a board to show me how tough the finish was. Not a mark. Pretty impressive.

Actually, there are 3 types of laminate flooring:

1) The good old stuff you put glue in and stick together and it dries and then holds.
2) laminate that does not need glue, you stick them together and they snap in place and hold. Its hard to get them split up again
3) clickboard, which is laminate with a special way of putting together, it clicks when it snaps in place, good thing is you can easily take it appart again too, for example if you need to exchange one peice.

Don't forget about Pergo and others disastrous attempt at combining 1 and 2 with a pre-glued board that you activate with a wet sponge
