Default Flooring

Lowes has Bruce 3/8" floating engineered wood flooring for $2.99
sq/ft.
It's 3" wide and random length. I put it in my house and love it.


Well, I'm glad your satisfied, but...

Bruce is extremely low quality and badly lacking in durability.
At $2.99 sq, I'd say it's substantially overpriced.

You can probably find Anderson for not much more (altho you
might have to order it shipped, which adds to the cost).
Anderson is a much higher quality product.

Incidently, I would advise against buying any kind of wood
flooring at either Home Depot or Lowes. Not only is the
product cheap (in the quality sense), but the glue they carry
is also a lesser-quality glue. You won't pay a whole lot
more if you go to a flooring dealer.

(btw, you do not want to tear out a glue-down floor, so make
sure you choose right the first time. Don't ask me how I
know this...)
