Interesting. I guess that would certainly depends on the product *and*
installation.
Many of us have seen bad solid hardwood floor product/installation that
took less work to replace than repair/refinish.

Some of the engineered stuff I've seen, had close to 3/16 hardwood top
veneer, with the stain penetrating the entire ply. You could sand and
refinish that stuff without re-staining.

My wife is in love with Cork for the kitchen. I'm looking into it. I
like the 1'x3' and longer sizes I'm seeing, too. Seems like installation
with one man could be done in a day.
