We just put white oak in our house on two floors and bamboo in the basement. The bamboo was pre-finished. The oak was 4 inch number 2 grade that had to be sanded and finished. Finished it with a stain of 1/2 special walnut and 1/2 classic gray. [Linked Image]

Nothing like a site finished hardwood floor. That's some good flooring to be #2.

Scott, if I can ask, how does the price of the oak compare to the bamboo? Finished prices.

Not Scott , however I can tell you the price difference between Tavern grade Red Oak and Clear White Oak would be a lot, a whole lot! With the different species of Oak and grades prices can vary a great deal.

For 3 years, go the cheapest route. We just built our shop house and laid about 2400 sq ft of eng laminate. It's been good so far with 3 wild boys and a dog. But if it's only 3 yrs go cheapest.

The cost for the oak was maybe $0.50 a square foot more than the pre-finished bamboo. But, the cost to install, sand, stain and finish made it end about 3 times the cost of the bamboo.

I need to edit this. I actually looked at the cost today on my computer. The bamboo was more expensive per square foot by about $0.50 and oak ended up costing about twice the cost of the bamboo when all was said and done.

Good deal. We need to redo our downstairs. Probably 1500-2000 feet. We have 10 year old engineered oak and it has been scratched to hell by dogs, kids, furniture. I can’t find anyone to attempt to sand and refinish.

I kind of prefer the bamboo look in the pictures.

You can’t give away grade oak right now down here. Mills are all but bankrupt.

Red Oak is down up here . However , White Oak is strong and the only thing given away in relation to it is fat checks.

I will never spend money on anything other than synthetic materials.
Wood will asbsorb and warp if it sees enough water, synthetic you can grab a water extractor/shop vac if there's a leak.

Hardwood, regardless of engineered or solid will only be as good as the sand layer. You can get engineered with the same sand layer as solid.

Pre-finished won't look as good but I promise you the pre-finished will have a harder and more durable finish coat than the on site finished.

I'd recommend the luxury vinyl plank. Just put nearly 600' in my basement. Learning curve took a few minutes, but after that it was a breeze.

I lie. Getting up and down so many times played havoc on my 51 year old knees. But it really wasn't a hard install.

I was thinking the same thing. I was zooming in trying to find pin knots in it. That’s a pretty floor that can never be duplicated by anything synthetic.

I will tell you what sucks about the glued down pre engineered wood on a slab is when it gets wet, it is toast, and good luck getting that crap up. LVT is the way to go these days as far as upkeep and just ease of putting down, and it also can take on some water.

A solid hardwood floor is hard to beat on a wood sub flooring and it also can be dried and/or sanded and re-finished after it suffers some water damage. The engineered crap, just like someone stated above is nothing but particle board.
