It took me longer than I expected to choose the wood for the flooring in our new home, but after careful consideration I made the decision! I chose ADM Flooring engineered hardwood instead of LVP (use my code Frillsanddrills for 5% off any ADM flooring).
Each type of wood has its pros and cons (in terms of durability and texture), so this decision is entirely personal. There is no wrong choice or type of flooring – it’s all about what works for you, your lifestyle and your budget. I personally have always wanted hardwood floors and I don’t feel like anything else compares to them!
The array of colors and grain patterns that ADM Flooring offers didn’t help my decision any easier. At the end of the day, the exact wood I chose was ADM’s 10-1/4″ Moon Shadow Engineered White Oak planks – (use code Frillsanddrills for 5% off).
This is a before photo of our family room. The transformation with the flooring was magical!
We used a local company to install our hardwood floors and they did a fantastic job. This was not a DIY project due to the scope and complexity of the job! The blue tape holds the wood in place while they work on it and then they remove it. The tape does not remove any of the UV protection which would void the warranty on the floor.
To ensure that the wood is nice and straight throughout, the installation starts with the longest span in the house! The glue used contains a moisture barrier which is very important when installing hardwood floors in a new home. Without a moisture barrier, the glue may not bond to the wood properly, resulting in gaps, warps, or other flooring issues. A moisture barrier helps protect the wood from moisture, ensuring a more stable and durable installation.
I am falling more and more in love with my floors every day! They are perfect and better than I could have imagined.
