Lumber liquidaters sales rep says 5/16 inch bellawood solid hardwood floor is too thin. Is he right?
We are deciding between the 3/8 inch or the 5/16 bellawood brazilllian chestnut. The sales rep says 5/16 is too thin but then how come they make it. It got good reviews buy he says go 1/2 inch minimum. Is he trying to sell the pricier product? We simply can't afford the thicker hardwood and would rather go with a solid thin hardwood then engineered or laminate.
He says someone heavier could damage the floor that thin which makes no sense cause then why would you sell it then.
Sorry for my grammar mistakes. Typing on a phone.
Hes snow balling you a bit.One big disadvantage w/ a thinner solid floor is that you may not be able to resand it. As far as damaging the floor, if properly installed on a flat surface , an average person ( man or women , I don t want to be gender bias) in stiletto heals puts more pressure , per square inch than an elephant. I do agree that thats thin but if installed on a flt floor properly you be fine.
I ve never heard of a Brazilian Chestnut and it doesn t even show on the Janka rating scale but that doesn t mean it isn't good. Most all your S American woods are harder and denser.
